| Abstract | ||||
| The purpose of this research is to improve productivity in Lotus High Tech Company (LHTC). This research used time and motion study techniques to improve the production process at LHTC. The research objectives towards accomplishing this study is to identify problems in the current method and improve it in terms of production time, number of process and production layout by proposing a new method to the manufacturing product. The current method in the manufacturing of garment in the production line involved some unnecessary steps, where the materials and components take a very long and roundabout path on their journey to the workstation, which adversely affect productivity. The proposed method eliminates these steps, which reduces production time, number of processes, and the overall increase in productivity is about 72.6%. | ||||
