The implementation of Lean Manufacturing methodology and philosophy in the garment industry works as a method to improve efficiency and productivity. This study demonstrates the application of industrial engineering tools in a clothing manufacturing SME in combination with Lean Manufacturing principles to solve problems in the sewing section. The industrial engineering tools, such as method study, the rearrangement of layout and the line balance, gives us the means to visualize the problems related to the production of a garment, such as excess inventory in the storage and production process, incorrect plant distribution that caused unnecessary movements and delays in production compliance due to inefficient work methods. After evaluating a garment SME in Peru, the results showed that all these problems were present. Finally, a solution model is proposed and simulated using the previously mentioned tools in order to optimize the production process. The results show an improvement of 7.38% in efficiency
