Research on Productivity Improvement of Coconut Sugar, Samut Songkhram province by Plant Management is a participatory action research that aim to improve the productivity of coconut sugar production. The target group of the research was 19 people who were executives and employees of Oh Charoenporn Factory. Conduct research by work study from the production process with Flow Process Chart, analyzing the root cause by using the Why-Why Analysis technique, searching for a solution with the 5W-1H technique, and improving the process according to the PDCA principle to result in problem solving by reducing waste according to the 7 Waste concepts. The results showed that when solving the problem of potential adulteration in the production process and the problem of the sugar blender obstructing the operation by organize the factory layout, put up publicity signs informing, train employees to provide knowledge and work goals, use a plastic bag to cover the sugar, and requiring all employees to clean every time after use, including checking before, and during every use. Solving the problem by improving the production process and managing the manufacturing plant, it was found that the productivity of the production was higher in 3 aspects: (1) The production process aspect found that the number of steps was reduced by 6 activities and the working time was reduced by 80 minutes, (2) Safety aspect, It was found that the number of accidents was reduced by 6 times, and the number of injured employees decreased by 7 people, without having to pay for medical care, and no downtime resulting from accidents, and (3) in terms of product quality aspect, It was found that after the renovation, there was 1 table containing foreign matter remaining, and no foreign matter was found in the qualifying check step. It was found that labor productivity was 384.62 kg. per person per day, capital productivity 0.17 kg/baht or 5.91 baht/kg and material productivity as to 5 kg per day. Overall of production productivity according to science increased by 0.21 percent.
