The assembly line balancing problem is an important issue for every manufacturing company. A balanced assembly line ensures that a product is produced in the optimum time, and as a result of this effect, less machinery, materials and labour are used during this production. In this article, theoretical information about assembly line balancing has been given, and then the data needed for assembly line balancing has been obtained by making a time study of the production of Downlight Luminaire. With these data obtained, assembly line balancing was done and compared by using Hoffman and Comsoal methods. The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of Hoffman and Comsoal methods, which are one of the heuristic assembly line balancing methods, in the assembly lines of the companies producing in the lighting sector.
