A systems study on the Liquid Production Department of JAD Co., Inc.

This study was conducted on the Liquid Production Department of JAD Co., having the objectives of evaluating its present system, analyzing its present conditions, and developing feasible and optimal solutions for existing problems or threats. The first part of this study covers the presentation of the company profile and its production department\u27s present system. The latter includes discussions on the company\u27s personnel, equipment, and methods of production and transaction. The second part of the study involves an analysis of the present system resulting to findings related to the department\u27s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. These four characteristics serve as the basis in searching for the main problem of the department. The weaknesses, opportunities, and threats are weighed and evaluated according to their seriousness, urgency, growth, and solvability according to the available resources. From this analysis, the most critical problem is chosen. The findings resulted to a main problem concerning unmet demand, which results to a loss greater than 3 million pesos. After having determined the main problem of the department, it is time to develop alternative feasible solutions that can help solve or at least minimize the problem. This comes as the third part of the study which covers the formulation of three alternative solutions and these are increase in capacity, improve scheduling procedures, and finally, a combination of the first two alternatives. Each of these solutions was evaluated by simulation and was covered to undertake cost-benefit analysis for the purpose of coming up with the best solution for the problem. It turned out that the best solution was the combination of increase in capacity and improvement in the scheduling procedures. The last part of the study covered a detailed discussions of the proposed system and it\u27s implementation. This includes a detailed discussion on the requirements of the proposed system, which are personnel, additional equipment, and development of new forms. Aside from these, a schedule is also developed which shows the implementation of the proposed system with time. Based on these findings, a conclusion and recommendation for further study are stated at the end of the study
