Abstract

Sharp Philippines Corporation (SPC) is a manufacturing company that produces three major products which includes washing machine, electric fan, and karaoke system. Also, the company offers a wide variety of appliances through imports from other countries. Currently, the company is having unit losses due to low productivity level at the production line of Twin Tub Washing Machine. It was found out that out of the required 1000 units per day, the company was only able to produce an average of 793.55 units per day. These unit losses incurred the company an opportunity cost of Php 59,850,076 from April 2012 to March 2014. For the controllable factors, implementation of the improvements and controls will increase the average production of units per day by 163.05. Strict implementation of yearly training, positive reinforcement, a regular cleaning schedule, and a strict supervision on the operators will ensure that the actions for the controllable factors are implemented. Also, a Kanban System suggested that will increase the number of units per day in the assembly line by 10.45. A yearly implementation cost of Php 514, 572.00 is needed for both the implementation of the controls and the alternative and an annual opportunity savings of P20,570,160.00 is expected.
