This paper deals with the application of time and motion study in the industry manufacturing the shocker seals and diaphragms. An attempt is made to improve the efficiency of various manufacturing process of the shocker seal of an industry, located in the northern part of the India. Analysis is done to decrease the transportation time, men and material movement which will increase the productivity and decrease the production cost. Capacity utilization of various machines has also been computed and recommendations have been made to increase the productivity of the industry. From the study, it is observed that the capacity utilization of machines, M1 and M2, is less than 100% while capacity utilization of trimming machine, worker 1 and worker 2 are 100%.
