Abstract

Productivity is manufacturing industry‟s main concern. There are many alternatives available for improving productivity. Generally, this study is about labor utilization and achieving ideal man to machine ratio utilizing Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST). In this research, work measurement is used as the tool to get the labor utilization and man to machine ratio of the current situation in a production line at a semiconductor facility. There are three approaches for work measurement which are time study, work sampling and Predetermined Time System (PTS). The research focuses on the motions of operators. Thus, motion and time study is done by using Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST). This study is done at a Multinational Company, which produces semiconductors. The aim of this research is to observe the sequence of tasks performed by operators, perform work study on operator‟s activities, determine the current utilization of the operator, and propose the ideal man to machine ratio for the company. From this study, the cycle time and output rate will be determined, with current operator‟s utilization. The ideal man to machine ratio will be recommended as a result, in order to improve labor productivity. So, the productivity improvements could be done via these methods and could benefit to student as well as to the company.
