Abstract

Littlefuse Phils. Inc. located in Lima Technology Center, MAlvar, Batangas, provides circuit protection solutions through devices such as fuses, diodes, and varsistors. As one of the products of Littlefuse Phils Inc., fast-acting surface mount fuse has the highest volume manufactured from January to April 2011 in Square Nano Department. However, during the same period, production lines manufacture 3% below target output daily. The unmet output translates to opportunity loss of �,200 annually. Using root cause analysis, low machine uptime of bottleneck stations, non-standardized procedures, and presence of non -value adding causes output below the target. Thus in achieving sufficient daily output, it is recommended improve maintenance procedures, standardize manufacturing and repair procedures, implement kanban or pull system. These recommendations will require initial investment of 𔛬,4421 but will gain potential net savings of 󌕠,664 annually. Upon implementation, capacity increases by 18.1%.
