Abstract

Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines Inc. is the only authorized bottler of Coca-Cola products in the Philippines. It produces bottled and canned beverages that include carbonated and non-carbonated drinks, and mineral water. The focus of the study is the canning line that has a zero target rate of delay in their production schedule. However, during the months of January to April 2010, it was observed that the line had a delay of 14, 972,088 cans in their production schedule because of large amount of unproductive time in the production line.The major causes of unproductive time identified were foaming machine breakdown, toppled cans and jamming of cans. The root causes were identified and analyzed using Ishikawa Diagram and CNX Analysis. Factors like lack of strict supervision, insufficient training and lack strict of implementation of maintenance schedule were identified as controllable factors. The recommended solutions for these controllable factors were surprise inspections and disciplinary actions, refresher training program for the operators, and daily maintenance of the machines by the operator. Lack of proper ventilation, not enough break time, and no standard speed of filler machine per product line were identified as experimental factors. The recommended solutions were to purchase and install exhaust fans and industrial fans for the production area; increase the number of break time; and design of experiment for the correct speed settings of the filler machine. If the recommendations were followed, it will require an initial investment of PhP105,227 but will result to annual savings of PhP 116,637,360.
