Assessing the Impact of Quality Management Systems on Production Efficiency: A Case Study of a Manufacturing Company in Cavite

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Quality Management Systems (QMS) on production efficiency in a manufacturing company in Cavite, Philippines. A descriptive-correlational quantitative research design was employed using survey data collected from 30 engineers and supervisors. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS to evaluate the relationship between QMS implementation and production efficiency indicators such as defect rate, machine downtime, and output performance. The results revealed a high level of QMS implementation and a statistically significant moderate positive correlation (r = 0.572, p < 0.01) between QMS and production efficiency. These findings indicate that effective implementation of QMS practices contributes to improved operational performance. The study recommends strengthening employee training, enhancing preventive maintenance systems, and adopting real-time monitoring tools to further optimize production efficiency.
