Abstract. Clothing production is an important part of the industry. It includes the sewing, knitting and leather industries. It is important for a manufacturer to organize the production process well. This organization includes personnel allocation, machine loading, and material allocation. The goal is to complete the given order in the shortest time and, if possible, at the lowest cost. In this article, we look at the task of making knitted shirts. An ant colony optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the problem. The objective is to complete the order in the shortest possible time.
