Written permission required from the department head for NON-IE and NON-UP students or researchers Submitted in partial fulfillment of the course requirements in IE 32 : Methods Engineering Asian Weighing System Company is a manufacturing company that engages in the production of mechanical and electronic weighing scales. It started in April 1996 with the intention to supply the local market with its high quality scales. This methods engineering study was conducted to give recommendations on how the company can improve its efficiency and its overall performance by addressing the fundamental core problems of the company, namely : bottleneck at the assembly area, inefficient material handling and improper machine layout. The study was accomplished through the application of the different Methods Engineering tools and techniques. From the analysis of the problems, to the identification of factors affecting these problems to the prioritization of the problem areas, appropriate methods improvement techniques used in Methods Engineering were performed. Conclusions and recommendations were drawn based from the outcome of the study. The researchers prioritized solutions for each of the three selected problem areas. For the problem in bottleneck, a balanced line is to be developed for the assembly. For the other two problems, a combination process and product layouts are to be implemented. Asian Weighing System.
