The focus of the study was determined using the micro-approach analysis and was directed towards the Trades of the Nestle Nutrition Plant. Assessing whether overtime is needed a problem for the company, the researcher conducted analysis using the principles of Industrial and Systems Engineering. From the analysis, it has been found out that the company has indeed having problems with overtime especially for activities that are generally non-productive, although classified as essential, at least for the part of the focus of the study. From this, the root causes associated with the problem have been identified and were classified as controllable, experimental or noise root causes. Plan of actions were suggested for the controllable root causes. Alternatives, on the other hand, were formulated for the classified experimental root causes which generally focused on providing standard job routine and standard time and work procedure using the concepts of methods and systems engineering and providing additional workforce, regular and/or part time.
