The purpose of this research was to study productivity rate in concrete plastering of interior brick wall by studying 2 construction projects in Bangkok. The researcher divided the methods of labor productivity into two categories: (1) direct labor production technique and (2) field rating technique. The direct labor productivity technique of project A is about 1.38 m2/person/hr. and project B is about 1.19 m2/person/hr. by field rating technique project A had 77.75 % of workers in work status project B had 73.75% of workers in work status. The error rate was 4.08 % and 4.31 % respectively at the 95% confidence level. Project A has higher productivity rate than project B because project manager A chooses ready-mixed plaster for plastering. Project B selects cement mix (silica cement) mixed with fine sand cement mixer and water which take longer to prepare than Project A resulted cost of materials increase for 28.21 %.Meanwhile the working time for wall plastering could take longer for 13.77 %. It can be concluded that the selection of material for work is another factor affecting labor productivity

The purpose of this research is to study the effect of safety measure to construction productivity for ceiling activity by studying a construction of buildings in Bangkok. The safety system composed of (1) stable scaffolding system (2) providing clean and not slip walkways on the scaffold (3) installation of handrails not less than 0.90 meters in height (4) installing stairs (5) providing personal protective equipment for workers (6) are responsible for scaffolding and (7) scaffolding permit document. Cost of the safety system is 23908 baht or approximately 33 baht/m2. Productivity rates for prior and after the used of safety system are 1.57 and 1.41 m2. /person/hr. respectively. The productivity declines for approximately 10.19 % the working time for ceiling could take longer for 10.45 % and labor cost could increase for 10.19 %.

The purpose of this research is to study the effect of a safety system provided for wall tile external building activity on productivity. The safety system composed of (1) stable scaffolding system (2) providing clean and not slip walkways on the scaffold (3) installation of handrails not less than 0.90 meters in height along sides of the scaffold (4) installing safety nets around outside perimeters of the scaffolding (5) indicating working area (6) installing stairs (7) providing protection for people who works below (8) providing tools and equipments for transporting material which are safe and ready for using and (9) providing personal protective equipment for workers. Cost of the safety system is 79318 baht for a wall tile area of 385 m2 or approximately 206 baht/m2. Productivity rates for prior and after the used of safety system are 1.91 and 1.85 m2/person/day respectively. The productivity declines for approximately 3 %. In addition our study found an impact of work is a height of Building the wall tile external productivity could decrease for 6 %.

The purpose of this research is to study productivity improvement at electronic parts’s assembly line finding the work stations with work station time longer than takt time. This research applied the 5W1H technique as a tool to problem analysis fundamental of hand motions to improve productivity. The study found that the assembly line consisted 15 work stations and a cycle time of 12.0 seconds which greater than the takt time which was 10.5 seconds. The work station time no.6 took longer than the takt time. The fundamental of hand motion technique was applied. By separating or eliminating the fundamental of hand motion did not affect the performance of the work stations. By being integrated the fundamental of hand motion with previous work station or next work station. As a result of research is the new cycle time of this production line is 10.0 seconds the production line capacity increased from 300 pieces per hour to 360 pieces per hour 20 percent increase

The purpose of the qualitative study was to seek for on guidelines for increasing productivity of organic products (vegetables) of Thamsua community members in Kaeng Krachan Phetchaburi Province. Data collection was done through observation interview and document analysis. The samples were 10 leaders and members of Organic Product Division of Thamsua Community in Kaeng Krachan Phetchaburi. The research results revealed that problems and obstacles in increasing the organic product were the lack of worker and continuity to produce goods for distributing to meet the market demand. The solution could be done by increasingly distributing products the surrounding communities to meet the needs and quality control standard of the market. In terms of the management the community should have a clear management plan and appoint a committee to co-ordinate its policies plans regulations and management. They could invite other members from neighboring communities to be involved. As for the solutions for the production and product diversification external agencies might be asked to participate in the productivity enhancement such as public or private sectors and educational institutions for example. The government might be in charge of supporting for career development and income private sectors for more marketing channels while educational institutions might support for knowledge needed for increasing the productivity. Concerning marketing solutions for more distribution channels online marketing should be set up by coordinating with private sectors to provide additional distribution channels such as organizing product display booths with public and private sectors. Financial and accounting solutions for the lack of management funding sources should be organized through the community savings such as the Cooperative Community Enterprise or Provincial Cooperative office to e involved in accounting management to create systematic financial management.
