Plant Layout

The arrangement of the equipment and machineries in the working area is

in this section. The proponents discussed the relative allocation and appropriate

places of work equipment, for working men and other activities of the proposed

business. Allocating everything in the right place is very important in a business

to provide safe and good environment not only for the employees but also to the

customers. The proposed yempolaya has a total land area of 28 square meters

to provide an adequate dimension to be able to accommodate equipment and

various activities involved in operating the establishment.

Raw Materials

An important part of the production process is the raw materials used to

produce goods. Finding the right type of production materials helps companies to

produce competitive goods for consumers. Using the right type of materials

ensures that companies earn the highest profitability with the least amount of

product defects or consumer complaints. The basic raw material of the proposed

business is the ampalaya.

Utilities

The business required to have electricity and water, with this two

elements, the business would not be able to operate in producing yempolaya.

Electricity under ran the machines and equipment but in case of power

interruption, generator will be used to continue the business operation. Water is

very useful in operating the business because it is used for washing the materials

used in the operation.

PROPER WASTE DISPOSAL

Waste disposal includes the actions or activities required to manage

wastes. It talks about on how garbage can be used as a valuable resource and it

ends up in the right place. When a waste is disposed in a proper way, it helps to

prevent pollution which can improve human health and to maintain the

cleanliness of the environment.

 48

Proper waste disposal is essential in a business. The proposed

business will use the proper waste disposal by segregating biodegradable and

non-biodegradable. The biodegradable materials which could be recycled are

separated and sold in a junk shop.
