INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction of the Research
In this study, is clearly shown that work methods and time measurement can be implemented in manufacturing processes for increasing company productivity.
Traditionally, the manufacturing process has been concern with how people perform their jobs. Two areas have been received considerable attention. The first is determining
the best way to perform a job. This determination is commonly called methods analysis. The second is measuring the time required for a job to be completed using the best
method. This measurement has most often been concerned with time measurement.
This research involves the performance of worker based on the jobs and how work methods relate to productivity improvement. By using the process charts, series of
actions need to be identified that those activities should or could be improved. Every time an element of a job can be eliminated, combined or shortened, the worker will be
able to produce more in the same time period. This improvement will make the work easier to perform. This type of improvement translates to an increase in productivity.
Time measurement is being done in this research to measure the present level of performance, which is the productivity of those involved in creating goods and
providing services in the company. Time measurement involve measurement where it is use to measure work. The result of time study is the time that a worker suited to the job
2 and fully trained in the specified method that will need to perform the job if the worker
works at a normal or standard time. In addition to determining current productivity levels, time measurement is also used to build wage incentive plans, estimate cost,
schedule production jobs and for other planning and control purposes.
1.2 Objective of the Research
The objective of this research is to develop standard time utilizing the work method and time measurement in a real situation and discover how the work method and time
measurement can be implemented in the manufacturing company for increasing company productivity. Besides, the objective also to used process flow chart to study the
flow of operations as it relates to material or workers within a process and to show the flow of QC activity from the beginning to the end of the process.
