| Abstract | This case study is focused towards improving the material
handling system in an electronics component manufacturing .
As the prospects of semiconductor industry in the Philippines
are bright, local electronics companies have to stay on being
competitive not only through their lower labor cost but b y other
means as well . Keeping t h e productivity up and the manufacturing
cost down can largely help. One area that can contribute to this
end is the improvement of material handling system .
This study demonstrates an improvement that can be achieved i n
an existing material handling system of a semiconductor company
covering one particular multi-storeyed assembly line. Aiming at
system approach, the materials, movement , methods and cost are
analyzed with the aid of structuring the material flow diagram,
operation process chart, flow process and the handling activity and
handling cost and savings data form . Also used to verify the
facility layout effectiveness is the CRAFT software , and the NPV,
IRR, PBP methods of economic analysis to evaluate the costs
involved in the proposed system.
This study recommends primarily t he use of strategical ly-located dumbwaiter and curtailment of indirect labor requirements
for the proposed material handling system . |
