Abstract
Engtek Precision Philippines Inc. (EPPI) is mainly classified the Hard Disk Drive and Aircraft component technologies manufacturing industry and has become a global supplier of its major precision components in the Data storage and Industrial product markets. In pursuit of a quality Precision Engineering, EPPI strives to provide the optimal level of quality possible through its inspection processes, with the inspection runs as the measurement unit, which have become the main focus of the study. It was identified that the company experiences insufficient inspection runs to process inefficiencies and several other factors that lead to a daily massive WIP build-up in the QA laboratory which amounts to the #% of daily customer demands that are undelivered and accounts for the daily loss in sales of PhP 359,427.56. The root causes of the high accumulation of WIP from the primary inspection process were identified. With the preliminary recommendations provided for decreasing WIP inventory and the best alternative which is the purchase of 2 CMMs, 2 instrument gauges, and employment of 2 operators, an annual savings of PhP 127,701,030.61 can be made. The daily number of WIP can also be decreased from 131 to less than 30 units
