This paper presents batik production process optimization using particle swarm optimization (PSO) methods. The process steps of batik are designing, 'nyanting', staining, 'pelorodan', and washing. Batik production cost is determined by the efficiency and calculation of output to input ratio in the production process. In this research, PSO method is used for production process optimization on Yogyakarta batik industry. The main objective of this research optimization is to minimize the cost incurred in the production process of batik in order to obtain maximum benefit. PSO method has successfully optimized the production goals to be achieved by minimization the using of raw materials and production time. Optimization results show that in batik production process, there is a saving of raw materials 14.801% and production time saving of time 10.345%.
