Project Background:
Ilars Kitchenette is a carenderia restaurant that is known for their

silogs and sizzling dishes. The top selling tapsilog and pork sisig will make you
an everyday diner at Ilars. Also, Ilars is famous to UST students because of
their affordable prices ranging from 50 to 80 pesos. This comes with a free drink
and free extra rice for students. You can access the three branches of Ilars, one
in Piy Margal St., Jhocson St., and the other in Lacson.
Being one of Ilars customers, we students have experienced good and
bad qualities of the restaurant as well. As for the quality management is
concerned, the researchers are focusing on processes that can be improved by
using techniques that we have learned in Industrial Quality and Control. The
group hasdecided to work on two perspectives: the customers and the service

crew itself. The study will revolve around the quality of food the customers
receive and the quality of service they have been experienced. Also, the group is
aiming for the service crews standpoint on how they render services. The
researchers are also making improvements on some factors such as food waste.
Through the help of some IQC tools, the group is able to identify some
of the problems and propose a solution to solve them.

Here is the SIPOC of Ilars. Through this tool the researchers will understand
better the process in providing food.

2. Flow Process Diagram- Food Deployment

This is the FPD of Ilars. The group focused on food deployment because this
is where the bottleneck takes place. Foods are being deployed one by one
because the silogs (pre-cooked meals which are ready to be plated) are
deployed earlier than the sizzling (cooked in sizzling plates), which requires more
time to cook.

Problem Statement

Why, Why, Why Diagram


*Food is cold, below 41 F, not safe for food consumption
Why? It is not heated
Why? It is pre-cooked
*Food is cold, below 41 F, not safe for food consumption
Why? Food waits.
Why? It is delivered early.
Why? Other orders on the table are not complete.
Why? Other orders are still cooking.
Why? Lack of synchronization in deployment of orders.
*Customers are waiting for available seats.
Why? All seats are occupied.
Why? Layout is not optimized.
*Too many free excess extra rice.
Why? Number of requests is not accurate.
Why? Extra rice is given by number of orders.
*Free Extra Rice contributes to food wastage.
Why? Other customers do not consume the free extra rice.
Hot foods need to be kept above 151oF to prevent bacteria build up. Food is
considered cold if it is below 41oF. Also, below 41oF, bacteria growth is present.
Problem #1: Food is cold and not safe to be consumed.
Problem #2: Food waste.

Data

There are no outliers. Therefore, the process is statistically stable. Also,


the researchers computed for the Z, which is the probability of having good
service. The researchers assumed that the population mean of waiting time for
an order is ten minutes, which is also supported by the survey conducted.

Xbar = 10.56

P(Z<2.02) = 98%
Therefore, 98% of the time, Ilars serve the food well (below 10 minutes).
However, the researcher aims to lessen this waiting time of 10 minutes.
Problem #3: Lengthy waiting time.

Objectives:
1. To deliver food at 165 F for silogs and 390 F for sizzling.
*Pre cooked food (silogs) are cold when served.
2. To reduce food waste (excess extra rice) by 100%.
*Voluntary giving of free extra rice in every customer leads to food
waste.
3. To reduce customer waiting time by at least 20%.
*Average waiting time is 10 minutes.

SOLUTION #1
*Sizzling meals are always above 390 F because it is the standard
temperature in order to make the sizzling sound. Every meal are cooked and
served on the sizzling plate.
According to the USDA's rules regarding food-safe temperatures, all
cooked foods should be held at a minimum of 135 degrees Fahrenheit after
cooking. Temperatures at or above this level have been scientifically proven to
eliminate the growth of bacteria that cause foodborne illnesses. In order to make
the food safe and warm for human consumption, the group proposed a firewarmed type food warmer; these are the warmers that use steam as source of
heat.

Water that become steam is heated by a chamber that is fueled by

denatured alcohol. This can last for hours depending on the usage. This kind of
food

The investigators have eliminated the voluntary giving of extra rice


because this is where the food waste is generated. Different customers have
different preferences on whether they will avail the free extra rice or not.
Because of this, the group came up with a new process: to make the
customers ask for extra rice. By this, we can know if the customers want another
cup of rice. Also, the proposal will eliminate food waste because the Ilars rice
server will only serve customers that will ask for the extra rice. It is also efficient
to use the rice jug as an alternative (like in Mang Inasal) because it will keep
the rice warm because of its insulation, and it will be agile to serve customers. It
will also be economical because it will eliminate the number of dishes used in
serving extra rice.
Through this process the deployment of food will be synchronize. Cooking
the egg while waiting for the sizzling to be ready will make both orders deployed
simultaneously. (Refer to flowchart)

SOLUTION #3
The researchers have found out that it takes about 2 minutes to heat a
sizzling plate. The team proposed that during peak hours, 11:00AM 1:00PM
and 5:00PM 7:00PM, the staff should pre-heat the sizzling plates to eliminate
the delay caused by heating. Pre-heating the sizzling plates will make the cycle
time of cooking faster by 20%.
The group also proposed the use of the readily available landline
telephones; to easily coordinate with the other branch located one street away.

Through this the management can maximize their capacity and increase their
profit by properly allocating and accommodating the waiting customers of each
branch.
