Abstract
Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. is an American electronic company which was founded on April 14, 1983 at Sunnyvale, California, USA. In 1997, the company built a plant in the Philippines which was named Maxim Philippine Operating Corporation ((MPOC) and is located at Gateway Business Park, General Trias, Cavite. Problem identified in the study was low efficiency of machine groups, particularly KVDM, SZ, KTS, ASL3K, ASL1K, LTX, TERA 360Z, and TERFLEX machine groups with 12%, @3%, 22%,@8%, 31%, 29%, 29%, 38%, and 37% efficiency, respectively. Solutions formulated were conduction of daily meetings at the start and end of shifts that last for 10 and 15 minutes, respectively. Moreover, two urgent meeting are permissible per shift that will last for a total of 13 minutes so as to ensure no delays and interruptions in the production. Furthermore, it is suggested to hire two additional operators for buildings 1 productionretain the current system regarding wafer Diebank location and wafer transfer from Building 1 to Building 2 and meet the 90 percent target efficiency and keep essential machines necessary to cater demand increase in the future. The net profit is estimated to be Php 6, 709,897.83, computed on a year basis.
