The main goal of the paper is to propose solution toward capacity improvement of assembly process on a selected production line. The major content is focused on Basic Most method and its application in improvement process. There is a theoretical expectation that after applying Basic Most method to the assembly process, the capacity of production line would increase about twenty percentages. Motion and Time studies are often applied for improvements in efficiency of assembly processes. First, Process Screen method is used for gaining the information about process behaviour and its individual, partial and total duration. The final solution consists of new layout design of working station at the selected production line.

Keywords: basic MOST method; motion and time studies; capacity improvement; process behaviour; assembly process.
