Abstract-There are millions of jobs and everyone feels that his/her job is unique to them, their product and finally to their organization. But the fact remains that all the jobs are just combinations of 19 basic motions that are used to perform any task. The productivity is key to survival of any organizations and hence profitability. The productivity is defined as "Optimum Utilization of Available Resources". To achieve productivity of the highest order, The consumption of all the resources viz Men, Material, Machine, Money and Methodology" have to be optimized. There are primarily three methods of determining the "Standard Time" in which a worker should perform a task: i) Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (M.O.S.T) is a predetermined motion time system that is used primarily in industrial settings to get the standard time in which a worker should perform a task. ii) Time Study is a traditional Work Measurement technique which is involved to calculate the time of the operation in an assembly line with the help of instrument (Stopwatch). iii) Taylorism, System of scientific management advocated by Fred W. Taylor. In Taylor's view, the task of factory management was to determine the best way for the worker to do the job, to provide the proper tools and training, and to provide incentives for good performance. He broke each job down into its individual motions, analyzed these to determine which were essential, and timed the workers with a stopwatch. With unnecessary motion eliminated, the worker, following a machinelike routine, became far more productive. In the present work, comparative case study of the "M.O.S.T." and "Traditional Time Study" was carried out for Fitment of particular parts at M/S Adithya Automotive Application Pvt Ltd. Lucknow and Assembly Line-3 at Tata Motors Ltd, Lucknow and there was appreciable decrease in time taken by M.O.S.T. in accomplishment of task in both the cases. A total decrease of 16.8% was observed in M/S Adithya Automotive Application Pvt Ltd. Lucknow and 32.2% in Assembly Line-3 at Tata Motors Ltd, Lucknow with the application of M.O.S.T.as compared of Traditional Time Study. From the above analysis, it is concluded that M.O.S.T Study has a clear advantage over the traditional time Study and higher productivity can be achieved by application of M.O.S.T. It is also known as method for establishing employee productivity standards in which: ? a complex task is broken into small, simple steps, ? the sequence of movements taken by the employee in performing those steps is carefully observed to detect and eliminate redundant or wasteful motion, and ? precise time taken for each correct movement is measured. From these measurements production and delivery times and prices can be computed and incentive schemes can be devised. Generally appropriate only for repetitive tasks, time and motion studies were pioneered by the US industrial engineer (1868-1924) and Dr. Lillian Gilbreth (1878-1972). ii.

Fitment and video it was found that Actual and theoretical values of work content were as follows (Refer attachments Aditya-1 and Aditya-2found that M.O.S.T Study at Adithya Automotives Applications was much accurate and it was being validated by shop owner. Total Work Content By Most Study Was 626 Secs. Total Work Contet By Time Study Was 753.2 Secs. The data was physically taken and was validated by the employees directly involved in the production shop. III. Conclusion This Clearly shows that Work content calculation by M.O.S.T Study has a clear difference from work content of time Study. According to which the production can be better judged by M.O.S.T study and higher production rate can be achieved. *The Values of Work Content Can be Seen From Appendix a) Result The total decrease in time by M.O.S.the M.O.S.T study is the best study to be implemented for calculation of Work content. As, it Optimizes time which is required in assembling of parts and thus enhancing productivity. We saved total 127.2 secs, Saving time and hence Saving Money. This finally leading to new method to improve our production. So, for the best result we must use M.O.S.T. a) About The Tata Established in 1945, Tata Motors is India's largest and only fully integrated automobile company. ? In light of Company's aggressive growth plans, it is currently in expansion phase and production at Lucknow would grow many-fold in near future. The expansion shall be in there as of painting, welding, vehicle assembly & testing and utility services, driven by latest technology. Infrastructure i. Assembly Unit Lucknow Plant started with the assembly of Medium Commercial Vehicles (MCVs) to meet the demand in the Northern Indian market. However, in 1995, the unit started manufacturing bus chassis of Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) and SUMOs. The facilities for manufacturing the spare parts were set up and started supply of Crown wheel & pinion (CWP) in 1994. Subsequently, G-16 & G-18 Gear Parts started in 1998. With the availability of G-16 gear parts manufacturing facility, the Plant also started assembly of G-16 Gear Box to meet in-house requirement for SUMO vehicles in the year 2000.Now TATA Motors Lucknow has started assembling of CNG MCV`s to meet the consumers demand. TATA Motors is also producing Rear Engine CV`s.](image-2.png "Fitments") ![](image-3.png "") ![](image-4.png "") b) Time Studyi.
