Background of the Study

As the researchers able to observe in our laboratory, the EIM students of La Salle
Academy able to find out the big problem but it can cause distractions to the EIM students,
especially in installation. Every time the EIM students do their installation, the tools needed have
no space to put, the EIM students either put them in a mono block chair and sometimes the EIM
students put it in our pocket like screw drivers and etc. Every time also that the EIM students go
to our laboratory many of the EIM students are waiting in the cabinet where the EIM students
put our tools and materials needed. All of them tried their best to grab the tools they need in a
hurry and sometimes other didn’t able to get what they need and that cause them not to finish the
installation in the time given.
Push pull cart or cart is usually used in many year, they also called it as a mini vehicle to
carry something that can’t be carry by just hands. It actually have 4 or 2 wheels depends on the
style they have. Cart is very helpful it makes the work easier and fast.
Cabinet is used especially in our home to organize the things we had like clothes, papers
etc. they are usually made by wood.
As the problem still continue, the researchers able to formulate to have some research on
how to solve this problem in our laboratory. We want to make a “modified systemized cart” in
which it helps us especially the future EIM students. This research will be able to help them to
avoid the problems that the EIM students encountered during our days. The purpose of this study
is to install in easier and fast way and no need for them to have a rush in getting the tools
because in one cart the things that would be needed is already in there tools, pipes, tubes, bulbs,
tester etc.

Statement of the Problem

The researchers formulated this research questions to be able to find a solution in
organizing materials to have a clean installation. The researchers aim to answer this following
research questions:
1. How can this product make their work hassle free?
 2. How can this product aware the students from accidents?
3. How can this product benefit workers?

Hypothesis
The researchers foretell the research questions to have a prior understanding. The
researchers foretell the answers the research questions:
1. This product makes their work hassle free because the product will help the students to
organize their materials and tools to be used.
2. This product will help the students feel more comfortable while installing and make their
surroundings clean and organize as well as to be able to avoid accidents.
3. This product can make the work of student easier and faster and this will able enable

Scope and Limitations
The range of this study is only focused on the root causes of making a farther mess
among students Electrical Installation and Maintenance students in La Salle Academy. It won’t
focus to the other students like STEM students, HUMSS/GAS students, ABM students, junior
high school students, grade school students, and kindergarten students.
Moreover, it won’t focused in how to install an electrical installation among the topics
that been tackle during class discussions. Since, the research title is about preparing and
organizing materials in installing an electrical installation.

Significance of the Study

Through the centuries past, many facilities would gain benefits out of this product. They
could use this product as an organizer to organize things to avoid such a little mess in a practical
working area. The results of this product would be a great benefit to some people around our
community which is La Salle Academy. This study will be most beneficial to the following:
Students. Through this product, it helps students to have an organizer in order to organize
things and pleasant looking to the eyes of other. They would be more responsible and conscious
of the mess that they may create. Especially, the students of Electrical Installation and
Maintenance could benefit more in installing an electrical installation.
Maintenance and Workers. The workers could make their work accessible in helping
themselves to have a comfortable work.
Most importantly, the Future researchers would also gain benefits out from this study.
This proposed study could be the guide of the future researchers. They could also find data
among this study on how to keep an organization inside a working area. The future researchers
may develop this study and develop the product experimentally.

Theoretical Framework
According to the Sakichi Toyoda, 5s Japanese theory is a workplace organization method
that uses a list of five Japanese words: seiri, seiton, seisō, seiketsu, and shitsuke. These have
been translated as "Sort", "Set In order", "Shine", "Standardize" and "Sustain". It describes how
to organize a work space for efficiency and effectiveness by identifying and storing the items
used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order. The decision-making process
usually comes from a dialogue about standardization, which builds understanding among
employees of how they should do the work. 5s was developed in Japan and was identified as one
of the techniques that have been applied in organizing (Miller M. , 2017)

Review of Related Literature

The chapter presents the related literature and studies after the thorough and in-depth
search done by the researchers. This will also present the synthesis of the art, theoretical and
conceptual framework to fully understand the research to be done for better comprehension of
the study. The related literatures of this study are the following:

Implementing theory of constraints in a traditional Japanese manufacturing environment:

The case of Hitachi Tool Engineering

This related literature is related to our research study, according to Umble and Murakami,
this research presents a case study of a virtual ‘textbook’ application of the theory of constraints
(TOC) in a Japanese tool manufacturing company. Hitachi Tool Engineering uses state-of-the-art
technology to design and manufacture cutting tools known as End-mills. The plant described in
this study is a classic V-plant and exhibited all of the standard problems of a traditionally
managed V-plant, existing within the unique framework of Japanese work culture. Plant
management applied the five focusing steps and used the operations strategy tools, including
drum-buffer-rope and buffer management, to improve the system. Following the approach
recommended by Eli Goldratt, the thinking process tools of current reality tree and evaporating
clouds were used to help identify and resolve problems when the implementation encountered
major obstacles. While the implementation was a huge success, the devastating effect of a core
problem being left unresolved is well documented. The implementation generated significant
improvements in work-in-process inventory, production lead time, on-time delivery, productive
capacity, inventory turnover, product quality, sales volume, and profitability. Moreover,
management has extended the introduction of TOC to the non-manufacturing functions and TOC
is becoming the common company culture that bridges four culturally diverse manufacturing
plants (Umble & Murakami, 2005).

Vehicle organizer
This related literature is related to our research study, according to Shea and Spector, An
article organizer for a motor vehicle is provided and consists of a rectangular housing having an
open top with a plurality of partitions crating multiple compartments to hold different articles in
an orderly manner. Hand grips are on the housing so that it can be carried therefrom and a
plurality of anti-skid fingers are on the bottom of the housing to a prevent it from sliding about.
In a modification the housing and partitions are adjustable to compensate for different sized
articles that fit into the compartments (Shea & Spector, 1990).

Organizer bag for strollers

This related literature is related to our research study, according to Miller C. and Miller
J., a stroller organizer bag for containing articles such as diapers, tissues and disposal bags has an
elongated strap with each of the ends of the strap secured to the bag. The strap has two closure
attachments, such as two pairs of snaps, to form a loop in each end of the strap for securing the
strap to the stroller handle. The snaps can readily and easily be closed or snapped together
around the horizontal bar to form the loops (Miller & Miller, 1996).

Appliance Organizer
This related literature is to our research study, according to Denny B., an organizer
device for hair care appliances including a housing and a plurality of receptacles therein which
are adapted to receive hair dryers, hair curlers, and other hair care appliances. The receptacles are
exposed from one or more surfaces of the housing and they are formed of an insulative material
which allows them to decrease the initial heat-up time for curling irons by minimizing the effects
of convection and conduction. The housing is provided with a number of electrical outlets and a
main power switch, all of which are disposed on the front of the housing in an accessible
position. A main electrical cord connects the electrical receptacles on the housing to a wall
socket. Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a appliance organizer that
combines a plurality of terminal receptacles with a main power switch, a plurality of cylindrical
tubes adapted for receiving a hair dryer and a plurality of curling irons, and a main power cord
(Denny, 1998).
