Abstract

The study investigated the feasibility of establishing a centralized warehouse for the construction, electrical and mechanical supplies used in maintenance and rehabilitation projects. It was initiated to address the 84.61 days delay in the maintenance and rehabilitation projects due to unavailable supplies and the wastage and degradation of resources due to the lack of proper storage. Historical records from PPMSO and CPDO were used to determine the supplies and corresponding amount to be stored in the warehouse. VED analysis was used to classify supplies needed during the early stage of a project. V items were then forecasted using associative forecasting. Demand for E and D items were estimated using the average and minimum value, respectively. Finishing items were also estimated using the minimum value. Demand for maintenance supplies was assumed constant using the PPMP of PPMSO. The peak amount computed was used to determine the space requirements of the warehouse. Two alternatives was formulated for the layout both having a total floor area 785.21 sq. m.. Initial investment cost that will incur will be PHP23,565,864.60 for alternative 1 and PHP 23,778,184.60 for alternative 2. Investments will be recovered through the savings generated from finding the appropriate supplier. Investment costs and labour costs was estimated and annualized using an interest rate of 15% and a study period of 50 years. Using different financial ratios, it was found out that t6he warehouse would breakeven at 36% mark-up for the study period of 50 years. The study also concluded that the establishment of the proposed warehouse is economically sound and is recommended since it would decrease the delay in startup of projects by up to 77.61 days.
