1.1 Rationale of the Study

Cleaning tools are a variety of necessary and vital tools and

products which are created and designed in various colors,

materials, design, shapes, sizes and styles to meet a cleaning need

and these are used to clean easily, effectively and efficiently. There

are different types of cleaning tools or materials which can be used

inside or outside our homes. In cleaning activities, there are times

that the person using the cleaning tools feel uncomfortable due to

the inappropriate standard handle design, texture and sizes of the

tools. These cleaning tools or materials can only be simplified with a

metal or wood.

1.5.4 FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE PRODUCT

The general feature used in broom, dust pan, and feather duster

product is steel as a material used for the handle. Steel is an alloy

of iron and carbon, and sometimes other elements. Because of its

high tensile strength and low cost, it is a major component used in

buildings, infrastructure, tools, ships, automobiles, machines,

appliances, and weapons. The steel is best used because it

prevents corrosion. This material would last long with low cost

maintenance; the product is assured to be durable.

Since the price depends on numerous factors like steel quality,

other components like the feathers, broom bristles, the finished

product and design, one can easily find a piece within their budget.

They are available in a wide variety of styles, colors, wood types,

and finishes.

They can be customized to complement unusual decor designs.

2.2.3 Computations for Location Selection

In order to know the best location for the Broom, Dust pan, and

Feather Duster Factory, a Weighted Scoring Method is used. Weighted

Scoring is a technique for putting a semblance of objectivity into a subjective

process. Using a consistent list of criteria, weighted according to the

importance or priority of the criteria to the organization, a comparison of

similar solutions can be completed. In the location factor rating system,

factors that are important in the location decision are identified. Each factor

is weighted from 0 to 1.00 to prioritize the factor and reflect its importance.

A subjective score is assigned (usually between 0 and 10) to each factor

22
based on its attractiveness compared with other locations, and the weighted

scores are summed. Decisions typically will not be made based solely on

these ratings, but they provide a good way to organize and rank factors.

2.2.3.1 SITE SELECTION CRITERIA

A. Proximity to Suppliers

It refers to the nearness of the factory to its potential suppliers

for producing the broom, dust pan, and feather duster. This is to

make sure that the transportation cost will be minimized.

B. Availability of Land

This means that the location can cater the 250 square meter

requirement for the factory and has a space that the factory can

extend to.

C. Nearness to Market

It refers to the nearness of the factory to its market to make

sure that the transportation cost will be minimized.

D. Cost of Land

This means that the price of land is affordable.

E. Utilities

It refers to the electricity, water, fuel, and energy system of the

site. This is to make sure that the utilities existing in this location can

supply the need of the factory.

F. Accessibility

This means that the location is easy to access by the workers,

near the highway and there are transportations that are readily

available in the site. This is to make sure that the transportation of

both raw materials and the final product is easy and safe.

23
 Table 10: Result of Location Factor Rating Computation

From the scoring method made, the computation shows that Talisay

is the best location for the Broom, Dust pan, and Feather Duster factory that

meets the different factors being considered in the study.

2.2.4 Location choice through Center of Gravity Method

In general, transportation costs are a function of distance, weight, and

time. The center-of-gravity, or weight center, technique is a quantitative

method for locating a facility at the center of movement in a geographic area

based on weight and distance. This method identifies a set of coordinates

designating a central location on a map relative to all other locations.

Where;
x, y= coordinates of the new facility at center of gravity
xi, yi= coordinates of existing facility i
Wi= annual weight shipped from facility i

2.3 Layout Facility

2.3.1 Type of Layout

The type of layout used in manufacturing the broom, dust pan, and

feather duster product is the mixed of batch and assembly line processing

layout. It is because the product demand was 50 broom, dust pan, and

feather duster per day, and with an 8-hour production time, the company

shall need to produce a minimum of 55 in broom, dust pan, and feather

duster per day considering the efficiency of the production. Thus, broom,

dust pan, and feather duster needs to be standardized and efficient in order

to meet such demand. With that, mixed batch processing and assembly line

balancing was deemed appropriate in order to meet the demand since there

is a constrain in the lot area, mixed batch production and assembly line

balancing would be the best option.

 2.5 Proper Segregation of Waste

Exhibit 24: Trash bins for the Segregation of wastes

Waste sorting is a process by which waste is separated into different

elements. Since the company only produces a few waste, trash bins are

provided. Green trash bin for dry waste which includes wood and related

products. Black trash bin for metals, and glass, or any hazardous waste.

Yellow for recyclable items. Brown trash bin for garden or food waste. Blue

trash bin for mixed or commingled. And lastly, Red trash bin for general

waste.

Landfills are an increasingly pressing problem. Less and less land is

available to deposit refuse, but the volume of waste is growing. As a result,

segregating waste is not just of environmental importance, but also of

economic concern.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1 Conclusion

Facility planning is critical and crucial in achieving an efficient, flexible

and effective production systems. Proper arrangement of departments and

offices pave way to less transportation time hence, more time for

production. Furthermore, sequencing and placing of machineries and

equipment allows a smooth material flow. Material handling also plays an

important part in the planning of the facility and plant layout because it

affects the dimensions and design of the layout with every material handling

equipment used by the company. Moreover, safety and ergonomic aspects

must also be integrated in the layout design to look after the welfare of the

workers because they are the primary fuels of production.

The researchers designed a product layout in which the equipment and

materials in the facility are arranged based on the sequence of the

operations of the products, which is the broom, dustpan and feather duster.

In this layout, one type of product out of the three products is produced in

one assembly line. Having this type of layout has its own advantages and

disadvantages.

The advantages of having a product layout is first, it lowers the material

handling cost. The company used lesser material handling equipment since

the facility is arranged as a product layout. It will have lesser work - in -

process and it has better utilization of the workers and machines.

In designing a facility for a manufacturing company, the researchers

must take into consideration the identification of the process on how to

manufacture the products to determine the appropriate departments or

offices, material handling equipment and machines to be used, how many

57
 machines and workers should be used and deployed in the facility and also

to utilize all the facilities in the company.

4.2 Recommendation

Based on the proposed layout achieved and looking at the needs of the

study, the researchers suggest some recommendations for further

improvement of the facility.

Primary Recommendations

 The company should be able to use and utilize the whole area. It

should have the appropriate departments or offices that would be

useful for the company. Also, the flow of the process for the

production of the broom, dustpan and feather duster should be

arranged according to the order of the processes.

Secondary Recommendations

The researchers recommend to have:

 Further studies about this research paper for the benefit of the

manufacturing company to have a higher efficiency and

productivity in order to help the company gain more customers in

the future.

 Additional facilities must be added in the existing facilities in the

company like the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) which will be

used for the wastes generated from the production area of the

broom, dustpan and feather duster.

 To have a showroom for the products and have more material

handling equipment that will help in the manufacturing company.
