The objective of this study is to improve the efficiency in manufacturing process of Arabian-style ventilation bricks with a new production method that uses a machine. The study focuses on all steps of productions in order to increase productivity. After the experiment the study shows that the improvement of ventilation brick manufacturing includes the increase in production volume from 20 pieces per day to 50 pieces per day representing an increase of 76.19 percent; and the decrease in production cycle time originally from 1401 minutes per piece to 97 minutes per piece representing a decrease of 93.07 percent respectively.

This research studies of crushed oyster shell (OSP) as a substitution for cement in producing the interlocking block. Research process are design the mixtures which contain 0 10 20 30 40 and 50%. Control water at optimum moisture content (OMC). Results of the tests the compressive strength at 7 14 28 60 90 days and the moisture absorbed at 28 days showed that increasing the amount of OSP decreased compressive strength and increased water absorption. By using OSP to replace cement 10% 20% passed the community product standard 602/2547 these were classified as non-load supportive type
