Abstract
Maxim Philippine Operating Corporation is a company engaged in the production of semiconductor devices used in different application such as automotive, wireless communication and consumer electronics. It established a new facility in First Philippine Industrial Park at Sto. Tomas, Batangas to reduce dependence on outsourced assembly. The Raw Material Department of the facility is experiencing backlogs while incurring overtime cost. the study's objective is to determine the root cause of the problem in the Raw Material Department. Analysis of data gathered revealed that the root cause of the delays by the Raw Material department is the lack of standard process. A large deviation in kitting time and distance traveled is evident from the data gathered. A redesign of the layout is recommended to reduce the distance traveled by the fitters and the establishment of work standards is made to reduce the time needed to perform a process. The kitting is reduced significantly thus increasingly the number of devices that the kitter can process on a daily basis while eliminating overtime cost.
