Abstract

The capacity of ATEC's captive line was found to be insufficient in producing the forecasted demand of the current year starting April 2013.With the increase in demand,the company will incur an opportunity loss of 929,410 k units or PhP 1,700,786 for the year if demand cannot be accommodated. The study aims to improve the capacity of the captive line increasing the capacity of the identified bottleneck operation and the capacity constraint resource. This was achieved by reminding the operators of the SOPs and stressing out the wearing of gloves at all time through posting signages at the mold station, employment of transparency in established standard rates through the distribution of copies of standard rates to the stations, provision of a conversion kit for the technician, establishing a set time notifying the technician about conversion, procurement of a mold chase pre-heater oven, replacement of the worn out plunger and additional inspectors. The total conversion time will then be reduced from 4.94 hours to 1.61 hours and the total cycle time molding will also be reduced from 196.97 seconds per shot to 169.07 seconds per shot which is equivalent to 21 shots per hour. This increases the capacity which results to an annual net benefit of PhP 3,831,558 for 5 years given an MARR of 15%.
