The System Study on the Production Department of House of Precast Inc. focused on the documentation and analysis of the current manufacturing processes of precast products from the receiving of order information up to the end of the production process which is retouching. There are four major processes involved in manufacturing the precast products: model making, mould making, casting, and retouching. The data used in the study is within the time frame of one year, from January 2011 to January 2012. The study is conducted in E. Rodriguez Sr. Boulevard, Cubao, Quezon City where the systems production department is located. After careful assessment and evaluation of the present system, it turned out that the most prevalent problem of the system is the persistent instances of production delay for all the present products from January 2011 to January 2012. The problem statement is stated as follows: There is 34% deviation from the systems target of having 100% on-time completion of projects which average to 77 days late an 33 units of product delayed, incurring an opportunity loss of Php61,548.13 from January 2011 to January 2012. It was identified that the problem on production delay was caused mainly by three major factors: no standard procedures in manufacturing the products, ineffective production scheduling, and moulds that accumulate in the operating area. The study then proposed a solution that will be acquired and used to prevent and eliminate production delay from occurring. For the no standard procedures in manufacturing the product, generation of a work instruction through the use of time study results was proposed. For the ineffective production scheduling, the use of the LEKIN software was proposed in order to schedule the jobs in the desired dispatching rules. Lastly, the concern on the accumulation of moulds in the operating area can be solved though the application of 5S.
