Abstract: This aims to generate a leaner workflow system through the use of a Lean Manufacturing Tool, 5S. The researchers have identified non-value added activities that exist in AGM Ventures Enterprise Inc. specifically the waste of motion, waiting and transportation. Tools such as questionnaire and observation through Work Sampling, Non-value Adding (NVA) Activity Sheet and Spaghetti Diagram were used to gather data. The researchers recommended a new layout, jig modification, ducting system and the implementation of 5S. In this way, worker’s productivity will increase, long transportation will be reduced, and frequent delay of production will be minimized. From the researcher’s proposals, numerous benefits will be gained by the company such as manpower savings of P243,803.5 a year for the 10 workers alone and P3,891.76 cost impact from the different processes if non value added activity were eliminated.

Abstract: The study aims to show the level of safety awareness of the management and the workers in the assembly area in a certain sewing company which presents the structured and systematic approach that will help the management of the company to monitor and measure the safety performance, productivity and quality of work of the employees. Safety Management is a formal risk management framework to improve safety, thus organizations would have systems for hazard identification and risk management, safety targets and reporting processes, procedures for audit, investigations, remedial actions, and safety education. The researchers utilized the descriptive method with the questionnaire as the major source of data from the 11 regular workers who are at the assembly area which purposively selected. The four-point Likert scale, Weighted mean, Pearson-R correlation coefficient and T-test were utilized to treat data. Irregularities on the safety management of the company have found out. This leads to an insufficient safety management within the company. The level of awareness on safety management should be given an importance by the management because it gives a great impact on the productivity of the personnel, and with that the quality/maintenance of the safety management has a great contribution to the productivity of the personnel.

Abstract: A vehicle tie rod manufactured with materials that can resist the vertical, lateral and horizontal forces acting on the suspension system when the car is in operation may last for a longer period of time provided the operating condition of the vehicle is such that, the tie rod material does not exceed its elastic limit. CES EduPack 2013 database level 2 was used in material selection of the tie rod which showed possible materials such as Nickel alloys, titanium alloy, aluminium alloy, low alloy steel etc. but low alloy steel was chosen based on the low cost, stiffness and yield strength. In terms of material properties, a tie rod requires high value of modulus of elasticity for stiffness, high fracture toughness against cracks and wear, and high yield strength against fatigue, and these properties were found in low alloy steel which conventional tie rods are manufactured from. The tie rod was designed using SOLIDWORKS 2012 version and static analysis was carried out to determine buckling displacements of a vehicle tie rod with a force of 18,563.7102N acting from each ends under pinned-pinned and fixed-pinned condition. Under the influence of this force, the tie rod in pinned-pinned position gave a maximum buckling displacement of 0.0156133mm whereas, tie rod under the influence of the same force buckled with a maximum displacement of 27.5852mm. This is because the pinned ends of the tie rod were sliding and exhibiting instability when the load (18,563.7102N) was applied from one end whereas, the fixed-pinned ends behavior of the tie rod was fixed and stable under the applied force from the pinned-end. The 18,563.7102N force load is the bump, braking and cornering force generated when a vehicle is in motion and was obtained from ADAMS simulation model of McPherson Subaru suspension system. Hence, the tie rod ends should be taken into consideration during manufacturing and installation, as buckling with low deflection can still carry more loads before the critical load is reached.
