  • Abstract

    The Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Time Standard (MODAPTS) is a medote for analyzing performance in performing work by monitoring the operator's movement in the workplace. MODAPTS will record the movement of each carrier in the workplace. This research will reveal a number of common features of MODAPTS and its applications in the packing process at the cement plant in particular to reduce the waste of working time that causes the production target is not achieved. This Cement Packing process becomes the chosen workplace because it requires manual work where there is continual movement of the body. The suggested improvement is in the form of determining movement activities, terminal activities, and Auxiliary Activities for each operator based on the standard time and the normal time available. Based on the results of this study obtained innovative solution that can be used as a safe, easy, and efficient working procedure resulting in increased work productivity.
