The purpose of this study was to recommend the improvement methodologies for the productivity of oil pump in a manufacturing company. Any manufacturing company should use its resources in an efficient manner thus improving productivity and minimizing cost. The original time study and the MOST were used to evaluate oil pump assembly. The results showed that MOST resulted in 12.60sec and the time study resulted in 14.30sec.
