Abstract

Alaska Milk Corporation (AMC) is one of the few manufacturers in the Philippine Milk Industry. AMC produces Liquid, Powdered, and Ultra-High Temperature Milk Products in the Philippines. From May 2011 to April 2012, a total of 752.85 hours of unscheduled downtimes in the ESQUERRA 370 line of Liquid Milk Plant of Alaska Milk Corporation became the reason it failed to meet its target efficiency and output.Solutions given are post break time schedule on Bulletin Board, post cleaning standard operating procedures inside Filling/.seamer room; keep and control the forklift keys at the LMP office; provide new data sheets for the increase of OTC Checking; strict prohibition of loitering; implement new task for lid feeder; purchase Clearance Gauge and Seam 360 Analyzer and implement a 4-day training and seminar with written and practical examinations and incentive every year. The alternatives given will save a total net present value of Php1,979,415,33 based on a 5 year implementation. Also, an opportunity loss of sales of Php 17,409,614.61 per month is realizable due to increasing demand of EVAP Products and the start of exportation of AMC. Upon implementation of the recommendations ESQ 370 Line would increase its efficiency by 15.9711%.
