Abstract
In this paper, the application of pre-determined time study analysis in determination of production capacity had been investigated to understand the accuracy level of production capacity. In determination of production capacity, normally motion time study analysis is conducted for actual production processes to define the bottleneck process and production capacity. However, for new product introduction (NPI), the calculation of the labor cost and the unfamiliar production process is normally based on assumptions or benchmarking from similar processes. As introduced by Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST®), it helps the industries in determining the production capacity. The dilemma of industries is the level of accuracy for a pre-determined time study at the beginning stage of production. This research has been conducted by examining the accuracy of pre-determined time study using the MOST® technique in selected case study industries and the results of this study show that the level of accuracy achieved is at 83.84%.
