Abstract

This thesis studies the current layout of Automotive Air-conditioning Technology Philippines, Inc at Cutting to Cushion Insertion area and aims to improve the said area using Line Balancing to develop new layout or change the placement of machines to achieve optimal productivity. This study aims to reduce the walk distance, thus increasing the productivity of the worker. The productivity of the proposed layout that will be developed will be assessed through fuzzy logic given the minimum and maximum range of the inputs to be used. Assessment parameters include walk distance, walk time and machine time with 25 rules per assessment. The distance and layout assessment parameters are to be classified as Very Productive, Productive, Break-even, Unproductive and Very Unproductive. The study developed two layouts that will decrease the walk distance and will increase the productivity of the Cutting to Cushion Insertion Area and the researchers will leave the choice to the company of which layout will be considered to be implemented. © 2016 American Scientific Publishers.
