Abstract

This paper examined the problems encountered in the production
process of UNIBEN water factory (from raw materials acquisition to
installed capacity utilization) adopting a design approach known as
Case Study Survey, which is found to be the most relevant for the
study. Results revealed that time; cost and manpower are the major
variables of the company. Results further showed, the company keeps
her annual report, is very competitive. The factory’s cost of operation
and administration, services rendered, production planning and
control techniques are in place. However, product volume coupled
with the dwindling economic resources, consumer purchasing power
and high cost of goods are major challenges faced by the company.
