Food Industry

Food Industry is one where it is critical to control quality. Given the huge number of people consuming the food products, even a small defect can assume critical dimensions and can have adverse impacts. Lean Six Sigma, hence, is very appropriate in Food Industry. Infact, the entire Food Supply Chain can benefit from the Six

Sigma approach. Some of the examples of Six Sigma Projects in Food Processing and Distribution in this Industry are:

• Reduction in distribution costs
• Enhancing reliability of food products delivery
• Reducing or Preventing wastage in case of perishable items
• Improving delivery vehicle utilization
• Improving adherence to schedules at delivery and collection points
• Reduction in Maintenance costs/produced units
• Enhancement in Productivity
• Reduction in machine & plant maintenance cost
• Reduction in processing machinery downtime
• Enhancement in quality of packaging

Dear Sanjay,

Food safety systems (with HACCP and similar certifications) focuse on hazard assessment and controls.

Statistical techniques covered in Six Sigma programs are of immense help in Food Safety applications. High levels of food safety are achievable with excellent processes. Six Sigma provides systematic time-tested road maps for process design and process improvement.

Dear Mr. Vishwadeep,

Thanks very much for the quick precise quick reply. I have been working in Beverage industry for last 17 years. I have adopted many techniques to improve process efficiencies. I got very good and quick results. I always take very dynamic approach to improve effciency. I could never apply or give some terminologies to my self created technicques.

I am very much interested in knowing more about 6 sigma principles and probably interested to obatin qualitifications in 6 sigma. Kindly give me some more insight about 6 sigma, how to acquire qualification and how to implement in the industry. I have got trainingson HACCP and ISO9000.

Regd.
