Abstract

The study was conducted at Adsia Logistics, Inc., a Third-Party logistics company that handles the delivery and receiving of the products of Del Monte Philippines, Inc. from different Toll packs. It focused on the improvement of Stand up Pouch (SUP) products receiving operations specifically on minimizing the time duration of loading and unloading operations by maximizing the number of palletized SUPs that could be loaded in a winged van used by the company and eliminating the re-pallet time. The major concern of the company is the high total duration of loading and unloading operations of the SUP receiving operation. The main causes of problems were analyzed using Industrial Engineering tools, concepts, and problem solving techniques. It was found out that the pallet system of SUPs was the main hindrance. The weight and sizes of each SUP cases were obtained and the capacity and dimensions of Adsia trucks were measured to determine a new system of pallet configuration and the total number of pallets that a winged van can hold. Based on the result of the pallet system calculations, it was recommended to have a racking system inside a truck to handle the upper palletized SUP cases and reduce the number of stacking layers into which the selective racks could accommodate for each product. There were two possible systems identified namely the Half-Half System and Full-Remaining System. These two systems aimed to maximize the number of SUP products that could be loaded inside a winged van. Another concern was the long duration for of re-pallet time which contributed to a high duration of unloading operation. This was given solution through the re-assembly of current storage racks available at Warehouse D of Adsia. The first option is by using the maximum height of the safe stacking height used by the TollPack and the other one was by dividing the height of the truck into two and the height of the half would be the height of the new storage rack. Evaluation showed that the best possible alternative was by making use of the Half-Half System and the re-assembly of the storage rack with respect to this system. Cost and benefit analysis showed that the implementation of this solution would require a total of 1,652,000 PhP and a company expected to have a net present value of 3,049,481 PhP after ten years of implementation. The company could also save 781,137 PhP every year.
