Abstract

This paper highlights the use of the Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST) to reveal hidden waste on the dry pack operation in an electronic industry. Verification of current stage is done by conducting a process flowchart and workflow diagram to provide an overall picture of the current operation. Then, time study by using stopwatch is conducted to determine the actual cycle time of operation. MOST analysis is then presented to analyze each method described in a detailed way with every single motion. By comparing the actual cycle time and MOST results, the performance of the operators is calculated through an equation and presented in percentage. This paper significantly shows that MOST is an effective method to evaluate each action step of operation and standardized the operation time which leads to productivity improvement. Then, a performance measurement is generated based on MOST to track or monitor the performance of the operators in the daily operation.
