This study aims to improve the production process and determine the appropriate number of employees per production line. This results in a more efficient production line. Focusing on reducing waste from The work of employees is reduced. and the process of raising chicks. This study has applied the principles of Studying work and studying time at work Analyzing using work charts of employees and machines and applying ECRS principles, a theory that helps reduce losses from damage costs. or costs that do not generate any returns for the organization. It also helps increase productivity and profits. Come analyze and find ways to improve to reduce work waste.
From the study results it was found that Processes interested in solving problems can improve and standardize the number of employees by considering the population, including farm employees, 36 employees, 4 supervisors, a total of 40 people. The sample group includes 14 people using Purposive Sampling. Before improving the time it took to lay chicks, one time took 15 hours/time. After improving the process, the time will be reduced to 10 hours/time. The time can be reduced by 5 hours and it also results in the reduction of labor costs from approximately 190,512 baht per month to 126,000 baht per month. The human labor costs can be reduced by 64,512 baht per month, although the improvement involves investment in purchasing machinery. But reducing labor costs gives a break-even point of 6-7 months.
