MOTOR-GANIZER: MOTOR INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

Motor-ganizer is a system intended for the inventory management of electric-driven motors of United Pulp and Paper Co., Inc. This is to handle the account of 920 motors recorded on the system and to include those units subject for repairs and others for spare. This system focuses on the movement and identifying the motors if installed, stand-by, spare, under repair or later on declared as scrap. Further, it also aims to cover the information, especially for those with lost name plates, to fast- track in identifying the motor unit. Having such data on the system that can be accessible not just by supervisors will be much aid for the plant operation and maintenance. Concerns with economic benefits were also highlighted on this research. Records of total repair costs based on issued Purchase orders by Procurement will be reflected and updated. With this heads-up for the management, this can support life span assessment of the unit or later request for replacement and acquisition of brand new ones instead. The general perspective of this study in developing an inventory management system of electric-driven-motors for United Pulp and Paper Co., Inc. (UPPC) has been evaluated effective for further utilization. The Motor-ganizer is of great help to the company’s motor retrieval, location, and maintenance. Moreover, it can provide all the crucial pieces of information about the motor—both confidential and basic which are of great contribution to the company's economic development and operation efficiency. With the reliability of the system, the records of the company are safe and secure, distribution process is well managed, errors are minimized, and reports generated for management are accurate thereby increasing the profit margin. The study is open for further improvement or application for other related manufacturing plants for technical evaluation of motor management.
