Some of the factors affecting performance of the outlet during the period are lack of manpower, offline system and high volume of clients.     Clients Observations and Recommendations Observations and recommendations were also gathered during the survey. Some of them are the following: Need for additional windows/counters for screen and payment Need for Additional manpower Slow processing which causes delay Often offline system Need to put up additional satellite office PSA Action Plan To address the issues and client recommendations collected during the survey, the PSA RSSO IV-A created action plan with the following details: On the need for additional manpower The PSA RSSO IV-A thru its Civil Registration and Administrative Support Division continues its coordination with the Unisys with regards to the hiring of personnel. The outlet needs additional 3 to 5 staff to augment the lacking manpower of the outlet. During the survey period the outlet only has 30 personnel. To date, three more Unisys associates are added to the manpower complement     On slow processing The outlet has a total of 197, 957 transactions during the 1st quarter of 2019. It is 22.52% or 36,386 higher than the same period last year. Large numbers of clients and lack of manpower are the main reasons for slow processing. On March 25, 2019, the PSA started to implement the quota system wherein only 1,500 walk-in applicants are accepted to apply civil registry documents. Of the 1,500, 1,200 are for regular lane and the remaining 300 are for special lane. To date, complaint on slow processing is minimized. Also, CRS frontline staff will have a refresher training on the different processes of the outlet this coming June 2019 to further strengthen and improve the service provided to the public. Concerning offline system Technical glitch is beyond control of the office. With the implementation of the CRS-ITP 2 this problem is assumed to be eliminated. Enhancement of IT facility of the outlet is ongoing. On putting-up additional satellite Plans are underway for the putting up of additional walk-in outlets in the region under CRS ITP 2. On setting-up of additional windows/ counters, with the present structure of the outlet, adding windows or counters is not feasible due to limited space.     Prepared by:                           Reviewed by:                                   Approved by: (SGD)                                       (SGD)                                                (SGD) JULIEDIN B.
