This research aims to 1) improve quality of processed herbal product by developing recipe and production procedures 2) develop packaging of processed herbal products in oder to add value exhibit uniqueness and response to customers’ need and 3) transfer technology and body of knowledge about improving products’ quality and developing packaging of processed herbal products. Results from developing of recipe and production procedure of kaffir lime in syrup show that period in boiling kaffir lime before sweetening in syrup has an effect on textures. The suitable period of 5 minutes for boiling kaffir lime results in reducing hardness of kaffir lime core increasing lightness and gaining the highest sensory scores from testers. The suitable amount of fructose syrup used in place of sugar in producing sweetened kaffir lime at 80 percent of sugar weight results in increasing lightness reducing hardness increasing value of red color (a*) and aw when compared with the control group and increasing quality of texture with the highest sensory scores from testers. Quality of microorganism appearance color ordor and texture of sweetened kaffir lime stored in tight-closed polypropylene (PP) bag at room temperature could be maintained for at least 24 days. Regarding satisfactory in packaging prototype it was found that customers were highly satisfied in both overall (4.48) and by aspect of packaging form (4.48) and packaging graphic (4.49). In terms of transferring the technology to a target group of 30 people it was found that trainees were highly satisfied with the technology transfer process (4.56). The highest satisfaction level by aspects was usefulness of service at 4.64 followed by service of staff trainers and service procedure at 4.58 4.57 and

The purpose of this research is to study the effect of a safety system provided for external wall plastering activity on productivity by studying a construction of commercial buildings. 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 79665 baht for a wall area of 1510 m2 or approximately 53 baht/m2. The prevention cost is quite high because it is an initial investment cost. However contractors could repeat theirs used on future projects. Productivity rates for prior and after the used of safety system are 1.16 and 1.13 m2/person/hr respectively. The productivity declines for approximately 3%. In addition our study found an impact of predecessor activity which is a brick laying activity. If brick walls are not well aligned and plumbed the working time for wall plastering could take longer for 8%. Meanwhile the wall plastering productivity could decrease for 11% and labor cost could increase for 12%.

The purposes of this research are to study and improve the productivity process of washing tables by setting standard time a case study of stainless manufactories. Nowadays the manufacturers don’t know the production capacity. That leads to the problems of manufacturers’ work control and late product delivery to the customers. The study is proposed to improve work procedures by designing operation process chart (OPC) the setting of operation stations Operation process chart time (OPC TIME) and finding the standard time in product manufacture. As for the operation process and the standard time setting the research revealed that the standard time of welding station in assembly process for the frame table sink tap nozzle high neck sink flick and welding station of all assembly parts were the first the second the third and the fourth respectively. The researchers’ suggestions were to add 2 welding machines and 2 workers in assembly process so as to work more efficiently so that it can decrease the total processing time from 855.24 minutes/set to 645.91 minutes/set or 24.47 % reduction.

The purpose of this research is to study the Labor Productivity Rating of workers and the quality of work that has been done by studying dry process bored pile which is 0.50 x 24.00 meters in diameter 170 piles at the construction of a building in Bangkok. Researchers conducted a cycle closed system of dry process bored pile into the four activities are: (1) the movement of the drill into the bored pile position (2) the casing procedure (3) the reinforcement procedure and (4) the pouring of the concrete and casing removal. The results showed that yield of dry process bored pile have an averaged Labor Productivity Rating about 275.31 minutes/pile The Quality jf the research has been divided into two cases: (1) quality of bored pile by testing the integrity of the pile by the Seismic Integrity Testing method in the standards of ASTM o 5882-00 found that 95.30 percent of the piles were in perfect condition and a slightly defective of 4.70 percent and (2) the position of bored pile found to be in accordance with allowable error of 100 percent. The results of the study can be utilized in work planning estimating cost of Labor and monitoring and tracking the progress of the work.

This research is aimed to study the conditions and obstacles of academic work productivity the knowedge and understanding of rules and regulations to achieve academic position the opinions on the academic work productivity and the need to support the academic work productivity of the lecturers of the Faculty of Liberal Arts Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon. It is a descriptive research. The research instrument is questionaire. The population are 73 lecturers from the Faculty of Liberal Arts. The statistics used in this research were percentage average mean and t-test. The results were as follows: 1. LecturersBackground : most lecturers are female44.5 year of age in averagemarried having instructor status holding Masters degree and training on academic works for 1.9 times a year. As for the type of their works they are instructional documents which have been done by themselves. 2. In term of knowledge and understanding of rules and regulations in achieving academic position: most of the lecturers of the Faculty of Liberal Arts understand the rules and regulations at the point of 11-15. The average point is 11.72. 3. The attitude for the academic work: the reason for acadenic work productivity is the need to study by themselves. The reason why they do not want to make an academic work is lack of motivation. 4. The obstacles in making the academic work: they were engaged with other works. 5. As for the need to be supported in making the academic work the lecturers required the Faculty to provide them with various means of communications such as the announcement newsletter website Circular letter with x = 4.60. 6. T-test result was found that different sex has different obstaclest at .05 level. The obstacles which are statistically different at 0.05 are overloaded works and lack of facilities.
