Abstract/Summary

Executive Summary. The R. L. Complex Manufacturing Inc. produces different forms of metal furniture. Among these is the popular stackable chairs, which is widely use by many restaurants and establishments. The study focuses on the stackable chair product of the company, from the time the product is ordered to its delivery.

Initial study conducted on the company's stackable chair line determined that the main problem is under utilization of the production of stackable chairs. Only 21% of the production capacity of stackable chairs is utilized by the company. The problem results to overtime costs amounting to P 76,513.50 and delivery delay costs of P11,251.48.

An evaluation on the study revealed that the main contributors of the problem are intermittent breakdowns of the machines used and excess absences of the production workers.

In addressing the problem of machine breakdown, a preventive maintenance for the machines used in the system was proposed. The problem of excess absences was addressed by proposing an incentive program.
