Abstract

Remec Broadband Wireless International Inc. (RBWI) is under the radio communication and telecommunication technologies manufacturing industry and is the sole manufacturer of outdoor units in the country.Outdoor units (ODU) are used in transmitting and receiving data for wireless communication. The main focus of the study is the manufacture of converters, a sub-assembly of the ODU, in the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) line of RBWI. It was identified that the following scrap categories contribute to 84.69% of the total amount of unrecoverable costs due to scraps in the SMT line of RBWI: chuck miss, cracked antenna, lifted trace, broke/damaged part and cut trace. These scrap categories are the main cause of the high accumulation of scraps which was found to be 3.85% of the total inspected units. The root causes of the high accumulation of scraps from the five major scrap categories were identified and analyzed using Ishikawa Diagram and CNX Analysis. The causal factors identified as controllable were given immediate solutions like removing unnecessary materials from the workstation table and conducting surprise inspections to ensure efficiency of workers. The experimental factors which were given recommendations were categorized as manpower, scraper, stencil, storage bins and blowgun. For the recommendations made, an annual savings of PHP671,435.47 will be made. Apart from this benefits will help the company reduce the number of scraps incurred in the SMT line of RBWI. Upon implementation of the recommendations, there will be a total percent of 1.61%.
