    Bangladesh's export revenue carries more than 76% contribution from the Textile and Apparel industries. In sewing floor there are several problems which hamper the productivity and efficiency and thus we do not get desired output. This paper, we discussed about the idle time which occurs in sewing line, how these idle times can be reduced by proper line balancing and time study. If idle time can be reduced then the productivity and efficiency of the sewing line can also be increased. Line balancing and time study are important stage in any garment industries. In this paper, we are comparing the productivity and efficiency of three different style sewing line. From the evaluation of the reports, we are trying to minimize the idle time of a line. The objective of this study is to learn about the idle time minimization and how much the productivity and efficiency are affected by means of suitable use of time study, method study, capacity find out about and via appropriate line balancing. If we capable to reduce the idle time it will help to optimize the productivity, efficiency and man, machine, material will be properly used.
