the issues, and determine the impact of the developed solutions based on the
satisfaction rating of the SLAC process costumers. The resaercher aims to strengthen

Participation. Prior to the development of the survey tool to quantify the paramaters of
the survey, one on one interview, diad, triad and focus group discussion (FGD) were
conducted. See annex on the content of the survey and FGD tools.

Based on the interview and FGDs, Voice of the Customers (VOCs) shows that
the teachers express their needs on updates about SLAC, to acquire information and
knowledge through SLAC. They also want to have sufficient time in conducting SLAC
session, that there should be provision of the SLAC session program, to have a
In analyzing their needs and wants, the results shows that they need to acquire
information that is accurate, updated, reliable and in a complete package of the SLAC
sesssion. The result also shows that the costumers needs to develop their skills
through workshop and activitiites during the SLAC Session, that there should also be

Using the Why – Why Diagram as a tool, the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) shows
the underlying causes why there is a gap between the standard and the actual
performance of the SLAC Session. The RCA identifies the deeper cause of the
problem in which can be effectively address when accurately identified. Based on the
RCA the ineffective and inefficient implementation is the result of the improper time
management, less improtant was given on the resources materials and the
The developed solutions were implemented in oder to address the result of the
RCA. The major categories of the developed solution were: 1. Process simplification
by reducing and eliminating the non-value adding activies during the SLAC session.
2. Visual management which includes the development of SLAC Session Guide which
contains the information and the tools that the SLAC Management Team (SMT)
needed in in the conduct of the SLAC Session; SLAC Kit which contains the materials
needed by the SLAC Session Partcipants; SLAC Bulletin Board which is placed in a
conspicous place in the school which contains information on the SLAC Session
anouncement, schedules and agenda; SLAC Log Book contains the minutes and the
agreements during the conduct of the SLAC session; SLAC Inventory Matrix is a
checklist that contains the material to be prepared by the SLAC Mangement Team
prior to the implementation of the SLAC Session; and Timecards, bell and timer are
tools to ensure that all part of the session will be implemented timely according to the
planned schedule.
The comparison of the baseline and endline results shows the significant impact
of the developed solution in the improvement of the SLAC session based on the
satisfaction rating of the costumers. The baseline data shows that 4 out of 7 or 57%
of the departments from Junior High School of Cotabato City National High School-
Main Campus rated poor performance in different indicators in the conduct of SLAC
session while the endline data survey shows that 1 out of 7 or 14% of the departments
from Junior High School of Cotabato City National High School-Main Campus rated
very satisfactory performance in timeliness indicator after the Roll out solutions
