INTRODUCTION
1.1
Project Background
This is a system that is proposing a simulation system applying the concept of
using Work Study Technique called Maynard Operation sequence Technique
(MOST) for aerospace manufacturing company. This project is a sub project for
RAGS project entitled Formulation of Mathematical Model for Man-Machine
Configuration Work Study in Electronic Manufacturing headed by Puan Rohana bnti
Abdullah,Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering (FKP) UteM.
The literature review will include the work study technique, web based user
interface design, simulation system technique, the user friendly system and the
interactivity of the system. At the end of this project, a web based prototype is
expected to be able to be used for data entry, simulate the manufacturing process
based on data, display related graph, and generate the statistic and conclusion for the
optimization process.

The methodology on this system development process is using System
Development Life Cycle Water fall Model. By using this methodology it will assist
the system development process phase by phase. The expected outcomes are
achieving the objective of the system need and use by company to change their
manual system to the intelligent system.
1.2
Problem Statement
1. Spend a lot of time to collect the data.
The manual and data record is on manual process and need a long time to
overcome the proces. For the current process situation the staff need to
prepared all the data and from the problem process area. So that it take a time
to entry the data manually on the Microsoft Excel.
2. No automated system
There is no automated system to identify the waste contribution in production
line from the manual system into the automated system. The staff need to
configured all the calculation in each of process. So that the staff need to
make the formula for many time and it is hard to create a template because of
the factor of the capability of the the software is not support to perform the
task efficiently.

3. No application that will generate and stored the data
There is no application will generate all the data as intelligent information
and need to use the human work energy to solve. In this part, the view of
point it taking serously about the automated data to make a summary as
result all of the time process need to perform manually. It need to find the
solution how to generate the summary effiently and comprehensive to
simulate the data automatically.
1.3

2.2 Domain
The domain for this project is web application. Web application is web based
system that runs on browser to perform the task. As the client requirements the
system need to be used by more than one pc and it need to locate the system on
server to make it perform through the network.
Web application not use the internet connection because of the architecture of the
system only around of the intranet area. Only user in the same area network can use
the system and it is applicable with the user requirement.
