Abstract

Lorenzana Food Corporation (LFC) is one of the Filipino food manufacturers specializing in producing dipping sauces. From January 2011 to December 2012, LFC's Bottling section's productivity was to approximately 2 units per minute, which is low relative to at least 3 units per minute productivity level the company should have in order to meet its monthly demands. To improve this, solutions were proposed. These includes implementation of the following:(i) scheduled visit of the Supervisor in the plant at least 10 minutes before the break time, (ii) penalty schemes to enforce order among the workers, submission of Sanitation Forms and Machine clearance by the assigned maintenance technician to the Bottling Supervisor, (iii) a 2-day training program with examinations, (iv) earlier cut-off time for, (v) forecasting techniques which best forecasts the demand for a particular product-type, (vi) use longest bottling time on first line available as priority rule in scheduling the products, and finally (vii) a revised decision making policy on scheduling new orders. The estimated annual cost in implementing these solutions is PHP 385, 743.56. However, in implementing the alternatives, the company could eliminate its lost sales and have a potential gain of at least PhP 1,280,178.61. in a year, as compared to the current productivity. Bottling section would increase by 78.755.
