G
Problem solving is part of our everyday life. In computer programming, problem
solving is inevitable too and it is actually one of the main reasons why a program is created.

What is ALGORITHM?
AN
Generally, an algorithm is a step-by-step procedure to solve problems. A guide for
installing new software, a manual for assembling appliances, and even recipes are examples
of an algorithm. In programming, making an algorithm is exciting – they are expressed in
programming language or in a pseudocode. Algorithm makes the whole procedure more
T
efficient as well as consistent. It also helps in identifying decision points, processes, and
essential variables to solve the problem. A programmer can also see and determine easily
BA

the errors in a particular process using an algorithm.

Examples of an Algorithm

Write an algorithm to add two numbers entered by the user.

O

Step 1: Start
Step 2: Declare variables num1, num2 and sum.
Step 3: Read values num1 and num2.
SD

Step 4: Add num1 and num2 and assign the result to sum.
Sum=num1+num2
Step 5: Display sum
Step 6: Stop

Write an algorithm to find the largest among three different numbers entered by the
user.
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Declare variables a, b and c.
Step 3: Read variables a, b and c.
Step 4: If a > b
If a > c

14

Display a is the largest number.

Else
Display c is the largest number.
Else
If b > c
Display b is the largest number.
Else

AS
Display c is the greatest number.
Step 5: Stop

FLOWCHART
Flowchart is a graphical representation of an algorithm. Programmers often use it as

G
a program-planning tool to solve a problem. It makes use of symbols which are connected
among them to indicate the flow of information and processing. The process of drawing a
flowchart for an algorithm is known as “flowcharting”
AN
There are 6 basic symbols commonly used in Flowchart,

TERMINAL - Indicates the starting and ending of

the program
INPUT/ OUTPUT - Taking input and showing the
T
output
PROCESS - Indicates any type of internal
BA

operations like initialization, calculation and etc.

DECISION - use for asking questions that can
have either yes or no/true or false.
CONNECTOR - use to connect breaks in the
flowchart
CONTROL FLOW - shows the direction of the
O

flow
SD

Flowchart is generally drawn from top to bottom, all elements must be connected with
arrow or control flow. All flowchart starts with a terminal or process symbol. Decision symbol
have 2 exit points, one for YES (TRUE) and another for NO (FALSE).

PROCEDURE
In computer programming, a procedure is a set of coded instructions that tell a
computer how to run a program or calculation. Many different types of programming languages
O

can be used to build a procedure. Depending on the programming language, a procedure may
also be called a subroutine, subprogram or function.
SD

Just like algorithms, programs are designed to solve a problem. In order to solve the
problem, the program needs to perform several tasks. Code is written to perform each of these
tasks. A procedure is a small section of a program that performs a specific task. Procedures
can be used repeatedly throughout a program.

PSEUDOCODE
Pseudo code is a term which is often used in programming and algorithm based fields.
It is a methodology that allows the programmer to represent the implementation of an
algorithm. Simply, we can say that it’s the cooked up representation of an algorithm. Often at
times, algorithms are represented with the help of pseudo codes as they can be interpreted
by programmers no matter what their programming background or knowledge is. Pseudo

16
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

code, as the name suggests, is a false code or a representation of code which can be
understood by even a layman with some school level programming knowledge.

Example:
Start Program
Enter two numbers, A, B
Add the numbers together

AS
Print Sum
End Program

Input
display a message asking the user to enter the first age

G
get the first age from the keyboard
display a message asking the user to enter the second age
get the second age from the keyboard

Processing
AN
calculate the answer by adding the two ages together and dividing by two

Output
T
display the answer on the screen
pause so the user can see the answer
BA

DATA TYPES

A data type is a description of a specific data that can be stored in a variable, the
amount of memory the item occupies, and the operations it can be performed.
Data Type summary for the programming language, VB.Net
O

Boolean - can only contain two values, true or false. Yes, or no or on and off is also
possible.
SD

Byte - data type to be used if you want to store binary data (set of 0s and 1s).it is an
unsigned type that cannot contain negative values.

Char - used to hold a single character, specifically a single Unicode character.

Unicode is a 16-bit character which represents all the letters and symbols of all major
languages existing.

Date - data type that holds date values, time values, or the combination of both.

Decimal - holds decimal values up to 29 significant digits.it is specifically designed for

financial calculations

Double - powerful data type that can hold even the smallest and the largest
approximation of a real number.

17
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

Integer - holds only whole number, but loads fast compare to other data types.

Long - data type used to hold larger integer numbers.

Object - holds object’s addresses.

Short - used to contain lesser value of whole number compared to data type Integer.
Programmers used this data type to optimize program runtime as well as to save
memory.

AS
Single - like double data type, it is also used to contain floating – point values. The
difference is that it is used for much lesser values.

String - data type used to hold a set or multiple of characters, like words and sentences.

have become so commonplace that their use has become routine, and this has completely

AS
transformed office work.
Office software is now becoming integrated with other productivity and decision making tools
like PowerBI and this new wave will revolutionize the workplace again.
3. Record keeping and retrieval

G
Most businesses have switched to electronic databases, rather than paper files, to store and
access their records, and this has become an essential and everyday part of our work
environment.
4. Internet and search
AN
One other major tool that has become so commonplace so as to become nearly unremarkable,
is the internet and its organization through search portals such as Google and Bing.
Information retrieval and research using internet tools has become an indispensable tool for
T
all work.
5. Decentralized work and cloud computing
BA

The proliferation of laptops, tablets, and smartphones has made it easier for professionals to
work from anywhere and has led to flexible-work environments like freelancing, work-on-
demand, and work-from-home.
6. Analytics and new decision structures
O

Big Data analytics has become an important tool for all business functions. For instance,
marketing through digital channels requires professionals to routinely use advanced tools for
SD

analytics and computational advertising.

7. Automation, robotics and future factories
Many workers, especially in the manufacturing sector, already work alongside autonomous
robots. This is increasingly true in many other settings such as warehouse logistics, office
sanitation, and building security.
8. Adoption of virtual and augmented reality
Sales and marketing using augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are gaining ground
in several sectors.
9. Conversational systems: Chatbots, assistants

19

REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

Conversational systems, like chatbots and personal assistants, are important AI tools. Many
companies have deployed chatbots to offer round-the-clock customer support and customer
support systems usually have bots as frontline agents, backed up by human agents.
10. Information security
With the support in technological advancements, a big
concern for businesses is the security of sensitive data.

AS
Protecting customer and business data is an essential
task for any enterprise, and a lot of invasive but
indispensable security processes, from physical access
control using tokens or

Three stages for the selection procedure.

T
Stage 1. Objectives
BA

What are you trying to achieve, and why? Is it achievable,

is it a realistic goal, is it the main problem? There may be
a need to prioritize the problems. This stage is often
underestimated or taken for granted.
O

Stage 2: Analysis
SD

The constraints on the proposed development have to be identified and this can only be done
by looking at the particularities of the individual case.
For analysis purposes we can group the issues to be addressed into the ‘SHTEFIE’ criteria,
developed at WEDC by Richard Franceys, Margaret Ince and others as a tool to help with
analysis of development programs.

From these groupings, a checklist of factors to consider may

be drawn up.

Stage 3: Output
After all the relevant issues have been addressed, the output can be evaluated. Options and
targets/standards must be considered together, therefore; only then will appropriate
technologies be selected.
So, when selecting any technology, consider the following:
Objectives: What is required? Why? Is it realistic?

AS
Analysis: Can it be achieved? What are the limitations?
Output: What technologies and controls are appropriate given the problem and the
constraints?

Information Technology

We use the term information technology of IT to refer to an entire industry. IT is the

use of computers and software to manage information.

Modern information technology departments:

To perform the complex functions required of information technology departments

today, the modern Information Technology Department would use computers, servers,

5s Lean in the Workplace

BA

5S is a system for organizing spaces so work can be performed efficiently, effectively, and
safely. This system focuses on putting everything where it belongs and keeping the workplace
clean, which makes it easier for people to do their jobs without wasting time or risking injury
O

5S Translation
SD

The term 5S comes from five Japanese words:

• Seiri
• Seiton
• Seiso
• Seiketsu
• Shitsuke

In English, these words are often translated to:

24
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

• Sort
• Set in Order
• Shine
• Standardize
• Sustain

AS
Each S represents one part of a five-step process that can improve the overall function of a
business.
The Origins of 5S – 5S & Lean Manufacturing

5S began as part of the Toyota Production System (TPS), the manufacturing method begun

G
by leaders at the Toyota Motor Company in the early and mid-20th century. This system, often
referred to as Lean manufacturing in the West, aims to increase the value of products or
services for customers. This is often accomplished by finding and eliminating waste from
AN
production processes.
T
BA

Lean manufacturing involves the use of many tools such as

5S, kaizen, Kanban, jidoka, heijunka, and poka-yoke. 5S is considered a foundational part of
the Toyota Production System because until the workplace is in a clean, organized state,
O

achieving consistently good results is difficult. A messy, cluttered space can lead to mistakes,
slowdowns in production, and even accidents, all of which interrupt operations and negatively
impact a company.
SD

By having a systematically organized facility, a company increases the likelihood that

production will occur exactly as it should.

Benefits of 5S

Over time, the 5S methodology leads to many benefits, including:

• Reduced costs
• Higher quality
• Increased productivity
• Greater employee satisfaction

25
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

• A safer work environment

What Are the 5 S's?

Sort

The first step of 5S, Sort, involves going through all the tools, furniture, materials, equipment,
etc. in a work area to determine what needs to be present and what can be removed. Some

AS
questions to ask during this phase include:

Set in Order

G
Once the extra clutter is gone, it's easier to see what's what. Now work groups can come up
with their own strategies for sorting through the remaining items. Things to consider:

Which people (or workstations) use which items?

•

• When are items used?

AN
• Which items are used most frequently?
• Should items be grouped by type?
T
• Where would it be most logical to place items?
Shine
BA
O
SD

Everyone thinks they know what housekeeping is, but it's one of the easiest things to overlook,
especially when work gets busy. The Shine stage of 5S focuses on cleaning up the work area,
which means sweeping, mopping, dusting, wiping down surfaces, putting tools and materials
away, etc.

Standardize

Once the first three steps of 5S are completed, things should look pretty good. All the extra
stuff is gone, everything is organized, spaces are cleaned, and equipment is in good working
order.

Sustain

Once standard procedures for 5S are in place, businesses

must perform the ongoing work of maintaining those
procedures and updating them as necessary. Sustain refers to
the process of keeping 5S running smoothly, but also of
keeping everyone in the organization involved. Managers
need to participate, as do employees out on the manufacturing

AS
floor, in the warehouse, or in the office. Sustain is about
making 5S a long-term program, not just an event or short-term
project. Ideally, 5S becomes a part of an organization's culture.
And when 5S is sustained over time, that's when businesses
will start to notice continuous positive results.

G
Tip #1: To help sustain 5S practices, make sure all new
employees (or employees who switch departments) receive training about their area's 5S
procedures.
AN
Tip #2: Keep things interesting. Look at what other companies are doing with 5S. New ideas
for organization can keep things improving and keep
employees engaged.
T
Safety – The 6th S
BA

Some companies like to include a sixth S in their 5S

program: Safety. When safety is included, the system is
often called 6S. The Safety step involves focusing on what
can be done to eliminate risks in work processes by
arranging things in certain ways.

This might involve setting up workstations so they're more

O

ergonomic, marking intersections—such as the places

where forklifts and pedestrians cross paths—with signs,
and labeling the storage cabinet for cleaning chemicals so people are aware of potential
SD

hazards. If the layout of the workplace or the tasks people perform are dangerous, those
dangers should be reduced as much as possible. That's what the sixth S focuses on.

Getting Started with 5S

27
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

Even though 5S is a fairly simple concept, beginning a new 5S program can feel daunting. It's
like undertaking a big cleaning project in the garage or the basement at home; there's a lot of
stuff to deal with, and getting started probably doesn't sound fun.

Start with practical steps such as deciding which departments and individuals will be involved,
what training is needed, and what tools to use to facilitate the process. Determining these
concrete things will help begin the process of 5S implementation.

AS
Who Should Participate in 5S?

Here's the short answer to this question: everyone. If a department is starting 5S, managers
and all other employees should be included. If anyone is left out, this could lead to confusion
or to messes that people don't want to take ownership of.

G
5S Training
AN
Anyone who will participate in 5S activities needs to receive training. This could be done in a
classroom setting, with a training DVD, and/or through hands-on activities. A demonstration
of how 5S could occur at a workstation might also be useful.

For employees to understand why the company

T
is going to start using 5S and why it's important,
they should be given a brief history of 5S, its
parts, and its benefits.
BA

It's quite possible that the way 5S is carried out

at one organization or even one department

5S & Visual Communication

O

A key part of 5S is that it makes spaces cleaner

and therefore easier to navigate. That means
people can more easily get their work done.
SD

Visual communication tools such as labels,

floor markings, cabinet and shelf markings, and shadow boards can make navigating spaces
even simpler. Plus, these tools can help keep the workspace organized. A workplace that uses
visual management in this way is often referred to as a visual workplace.

Some common visual tools used in 5S are:

Floor Marking Tape
These tapes can be used to outline work cells, mark the locations where equipment or
materials are placed, or highlight hazards. They come in a variety of colors and
patterns, and can also be used on shelves, workbenches, cabinets, and other surfaces.

28

REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

Labels and Signs

These visuals use text, colors, and symbols to convey information. They can indicate
the contents of drawers, call out hazards, or tell people where to store parts. Many
styles and sizes exist, and some businesses even choose to make these in-house with
a label and sign printer.

Shadow boards & Toolbox Foam

AS
These visuals are helpful in workspaces with a lot of tools. Shadow boards use cutouts
of tools that are placed behind the spot where a tool hangs on a pegboard. Toolbox
foam works similarly, except it fits into a toolbox drawer. The tool's shape is cut out of
a top layer of foam, so a bright bottom layer of foam shows through. Both of these

G
methods highlight missing tools and tell people exactly where tools should be placed
when they're finished using them.
AN
Businesses may choose to use some or all of these visual tools. All of them help achieve the
often-cited saying of 5S: “A place for everything, and everything in its place.” These tools make
it clear where things belong, so clutter doesn't become a problem so easily.

5S Example
T
Look at the example below to see 5S in action. Before 5S, spaces are cluttered and confusing.
After 5S, everything has an assigned place, which is often marked with floor marking tape,
BA

labels, and other visual cues.

O
SD

When 5S is used in the workplace, it's easier to detect abnormalities and spot
potential problems before they grow into significant issues
