Abstract/Summary
The Systems Study on the Production Department of Fashion Gift and Accessories (FGAC) focused on the documentation and analysis of the manufacturing of handbags from cutting, beading, attaching, beading, sewing, and packing.
FGAC's strength (S) is the capability, dexterity, and flexibility to manufacture an average of 35 bag styles per year. Its weaknesses (W) include: (1) actual production man-hours deviates from plan man-hours by 66.06%, (2) compliance to their delivery schedule of 85.71%, and (3) the system achieves only 98.46% quality conformance. Some opportunities (O) and threats (T) also surface.
After prioritization of the WOT vis-a -vis their seriousness, urgency, resources and growth, evaluation of the weaknesses, deviation of actual man-hours from planned man-hours was found to be FGAC's worst problem. There were six (6) causes identified, specifically: (1) lack of implementation of the Production Planning and Control (PPC) System of FGAC, (2) lack of time standards of handbags, (3) poor workers' performance, (4) no time standards gathering during lean season, (5) inaccurate time standards gathered, and (6) use of gut feel in scheduling the jobs.
Solutions for the major causes include improvements in the recruitment process, implementation of dummy run during lean months to gather time standards, training programs for regular and new workers, generating a database of time standards for common elements, earliest due date heuristic in scheduling jobs.
In conclusion, the study provided viable solutions in minimizing the actual production man-hours and planned man-hours. The study shows that in order to achieve zero (0) or less deviation between actual and planned production schedule, FGAC should include transportation and delay activities to better forecast the manpower requirement, and train workers to eliminate reworks. The solution decreased the overtime which will amount a saving of Php41,687.50 for year 2005. The benefit is realized as a positive Net Present Value (NPV) of Php136,497.1 for a period of 5 years.
