Abstract: The study applied job sequencing algorithm model for total elapsed time management in Osun State. The study examined the significant impact of job sequencing system on total elapse time management and the nexus between job sequencing and on-time delivery. A survey research was employed and data were collected through observation and investigation to pre-production, production and post -production activities of the selected block industry in Odo - Otin Local Government in Osun State. The results revealed that job sequencing model has significant impact on total elapse time management. Also, the finding revealed that saved time will reduce the cycle time, on -time delivery, customer due date of delivery and the total elapse time will be at optimal and this will enhance and boost the buffer stock for unexpected future demand. However, the cost implication of the saved time will enhance the profit of the`organisation. Organisations should endeavor to integrate the strategies of job sequencing model into their operations and build a team work toward cost minimization in all their activities.
