Batik Delapan Satu is a manufacturing company specializing in the garment field. There is a bottleneck line at the production that can cause production to be hampered. This bottleneck line occurs at the trimming workstation, so imbalanced work flow. Then, we use Line balancing with the Ranked Positional Weight method and the Region Approach method to solve this bottleneck line problem. Using the Ranked Positional Weight method and the Region Approach method will produce line efficiency, balance delay, idle time, and smoothness index. Using the Ranked Positional Weight method and the Region Approach method will increase efficiency line from the condition of the company start 52.02% up to 73.82%. Besides that, it can reduce five-station work, which was seven-station work before, and reduce the level of idle time in the company, they used to take 1057.83 seconds, but now they only take 427.92 seconds.
