Abstract: This research explores the application of method study and time study techniques to enhance operational efficiency in the manufacturing of compressor shells. Through systematic observation, time measurement, and workflow analysis, the study identifies key inefficiencies in the existing production process.Method study was used to streamline work procedures by eliminating unnecessary motions and improving task sequencing, while time study helped establish standard times and identify delays. Based on these insights, the study introduced targeted interventions, including machine modifications, improved material handling, and resequenced operations.These measures led to a 15% increase in production efficiency for compressor shells, with noticeable reductions in cycle time and better resource utilization. The results validate the effectiveness of industrial engineering tools as drivers of productivity and operational improvement in manufacturing environments.
