Abstract

The study was conducted at Maxim Philippines Operating Corporation (MPOC) Batangas, one of the global facilities of Maxim Integrated Products, which was founded in 2006 at Sto. Tomas, Batangas. This facility was established to reduce Maxim's dependency on subcontracted assembly processes.The study focused on the manpower requirement of IQC Piece Parts Department that performs the sampling inspection of raw materials which are to be used as actual parts of the finished goods of the company. The major problem in the department is the constant unsatisfied demand causing an accumulation of lots that should be inspected by the department. It also results to finishing up of available buffer stocks of inspected raw materials which further leads to urgent requests and constant overtimes required to satisfy those requests; and even with overtimes, demand was still constantly unsatisfied. The main cause of the problem was analyzed using Industrial Engineering tools, concepts, and problem solving techniques. It was found that working hours were poorly utilized-32.49% of which were spent on non-productive idle activities by the department's inspectors because they have low minimum output requirement and have unproductive activities. With that, the minimum output requirement per shift per worker and manpower requirement were analyzed. The result of all analyses performed suggested that the appropriate minim,um output requirement per shift per worker should be increased from 6 lots to 9 lots. By increasing the minimum output requirement per shift per worker, the company would have a salary savings of PHP92,081.60 per year. The excess raw material demand would be best satisfied by utilizing a maximum of two rotating overtime shifts among the current inspectors of the department rather than hiring additional inspector.
