Implementación de un Sistema de Control de Calidad de los Materiales de Envases y Determinación del Desperdicio, Rendimiento en las Líneas de Producción: UHT (APP) en la Planta LECOCEM- PARMALAT

Abstract

The implementation of a quality control system of container materials and waste determination, productionline yield : uht (tba) and (app) at the plant "Lecocem-Parmalat" was developed in Lasso, located in the Cotopaxi Province over a 120 -day period. The container material quality and the economic losses because of the containers as well as variables analyzed through descriptive statistics were analyzed . The results show that the produflex packings and plastipackings presented press and reading defects. As to the quality standards all of them met the standardization regulations. The highest economic losses for packings were identified in November with 46.58% in the elaboration of fortified milk . The economic losses decreased from 3892.96 USD in November to 333 USD in February. Finally upon carrying out the corresponding contrast between the ordered material, material devolution, waste and cost between the uht and app packing, statistical differences were identified ( P≤0.05), where the highest loss is found upon using the uht packings. It is concluded that the use of flexoespring whose features are defined Thickness 95-100µm and photocell distance 0.6mm) in the PARMALAT milk, permitted to have a system which avoids wastes because of the packing quality.
