Explanation / Answer

The quality problem solutions are as follows:

1.      Quality is not appropriate: The following steps can help assure quality:

·         The mandatory quality checks should be performed and many samples tested and checked.

·         The bottles should be checked for any damage or foreign material.

·         A bottle inspection technology measure should be used to standardize the quantity measuring the liquid height.

·         The cap fixing technology should ensure the cap is fixed securely.

·         There should be various parameters defined on the proportion of ingredients, which are strictly adhered, and non-compliance would shut the production line.

·         The processes of the drink and temperature controls should be preset and in case of non-compliance, the drink can be reprocessed.

·         Analyzers should be used to study accurate dispensing and proportionate use of ingredients.

·         The system should halt in case of process failure at any stage i.e. Non-adherence to proportions, inadequate quantity, wrong mixing of ingredients etc.

·         The US food laws and regulations should be strictly followed.

2.      Taste is not appropriate:

·         Sample surveys and physical tasting at public places like malls, events etc should be conducted.

·         Customer’s feedback taken and market testing is done again and again till product taste is liked and the final product is established.

·         The drinks of competitors should be analyzed for their proportions and mixes.

·         The company needs to run many product trials to establish correct taste.

3.      Packaging is not appropriate:

·         Online and offline market survey of various packaging options will give accurate feedback on corrections and market acceptability.

·         Consultants can help develop a correct color combination suitable to the market and product requirements.

4.      Quantity is lower than mentioned:

·         The production system and machine should ensure the liquid levels are proportionate and stop after each bottle is filled.

·         A bottle inspection technology measure should be used to standardize the quantity measuring the liquid height.

The quantity could be specified into the machines and in case required the technicians should be adequately trained to manage the discrepancies. There should be quality checks to confirm quantity is as per specifications.

2. Quality gaps are as follows:

·         The manufacturing process is not systematic and properly formulated.

·         The technology used in manufacturing does not have correct parameters assigned.

·         The standardization has not been established

·         The initial customer survey regarding taste and packaging has been incorrectly conducted.

·         There is a gap in the customer requirement and the product available.

·         The quality processes and standard operating processes are not in place.

To sum it up quality failure in manufacturing is when multiple checks at various levels fail and the processes are not followed.
