Σύνοψη

The general objective of the project is the study and implementation of quality control techniques in a soft drinks industry.
The company chosen was Pepsi-Cola, which is an International company, and special emphasis is given to quality.
The methodology used was statistical, by sampling, since hundred percent inspection is not recommended in such cases. Analytically, samples were taken during production and charts were plotted. Analysis, discussion and suggestions were following each chart. After the analysis of the charts, the main outcome is that six of the nice charts were out of control.
In the author's opinion it would be very beneficial for the company if the variations were minimized and other methods of inspections were adopted. As an example, the fill height level can not be measured by the height gauge since there is a greater variation in the volume of the bottles. Moreover, the full implementation of the quality control techniques is suggested, and quality cost was analyzed.
It is generally accepted that Pepsi-Cola Company puts quality first and with little improvement it will reach excellence.
