The Furniture Industry of the Philippines is one of the most labor-intensive and artistic industries in the country which develops the hardworking, creative and enterprising qualities of Filipinos in manufacturing best-quality furniture. With this, the Philippines is dubbed as the “Milan of Asia.” In Pampanga alone, there are several furniture SMEs which manufactures for both local and international clients. Aside from the saw dusts as the by product, scrap foams are also a hurdle for the furniture manufacturers in Pampanga and Central Luzon. Due to the continuous demand of the furniture industries in Pampanga, the study incubated to develop a lowcost semi-automated foam shredder prototypes that will cater the need of furniture industries to crash foams within the customer specification to create a new set of raw materials. The system requirements for the prototypes followed the first utility model that was created. The target of the study is to reduce the production and operating cost of the foam shredder without compromising the capacity, quality and aesthetics of the prototype. The prototype must pass the requirements as follows: (a) safe and efficient, (b) easy to use; (c) reliable and maintainable; (d) yielding capacity of 40 kgs/hr. Ten (10) furniture companies are selected in order to conduct the validation testing of the prototypes developed.

the study’s goal is to help increase the productivity of the company by introducing a systematic layout plan in production department of VENRON Wood Home Craft Manufacturing Industry. Systematic Layout Planning application is the focus of the study to help improve productivity in the company an evaluation and workflow analysis to the current layout was used to identify the problems the company is experiencing using a fishbone diagram to represent it. A conceptual framework using IPO model was divided into several inputs and processes needed in proposing alternative layout. Process time study and layout planning tools such as from-to chart, activity relationship diagram, space requirement and block diagram will be used to develop and achieve alternative layouts The study resulted to a decrease in travel time and distance improving the productivity resulting to more production in a given time. A basic workplace safety manual for the company has been made to help the company and the workers gain knowledge and how, when and why should safety be in their practice. Costbenefit analysis using comparative analysis will be calculated in the company’s result to production per day to determine on how does the proposed layout could affect and have benefit to the company. The result of the study is that proposing a new layout could really improve the production of the company producing more units per day compared to the current one
