Abstract

Hidden waste cannot be identified through normal way as they are concealed within a total time of an industrial operation. This project highlights the usage of Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST) to reveal hidden waste on the dry pack operation in an electronic industry. Time study approach by using stopwatch was applied to determine the actual cycle time of operation. MOST analysis which focused on the operation’s movement of object in a detail way was then presented. Comparison between time study result and MOST analysis was conducted to investigate the operation. After that, productivity improvement in terms of cycle time and production was evaluated for both time study result and MOST analysis. The standard time was computed and the production increment was calculated. The productivity improvement demonstrated a positive result towards the implementation of MOST when compared to actual time study result. The findings presented 19.35 % and 19.98 % in cycle time and production improvement respectively. This project significantly shows that MOST is an effective method to analyse each action step of operation and standardize the operation time which leads to an accomplishment of productivity.
