I. Time Context
May 12 to 16
IV. Objectives
To determine the most numbered defect and the most defective product line with
the use of quality tools.
To address the solution to the manager.
SWOTE Analysis
Strength:
Responsible personnel were assigned fast to cure the problem. Based on the case,
the firm that produces this Chick-n-Gravy frozen dinners is good on managing customer
complaints because right away, after receiving complaints, the manager then ask her
assistant to investigate on the complaints and recommend solution.
A Frozen dinner firm gives theircustomers a quick healthy dinner that would fit
their busy lifestyle.
.Handling on customer complaints and checking on customer satisfaction.
Easily detect problems in the production area.
Chick-n-Gravy frozen dinner products are improperly sealed, and if frozen
dinners are improperly sealed, this may cause shortening of its life and spoilage.
Weaknesses:
The company has too many defective products that had already reached their
customers. It means that they dont have a well-trained Quality Control Engineers or
Facilities and operators.
Their Maintenance capabilities fall under the Breakdown maintenance that fixes the
problem when it arrives rather than Preventive maintenance where in problems is being
prevented even if it havent arrive yet.
Numerous numbers of complaints from the Supermarkets.
All sources of problem were found on all production lines that were used for observation
purposes.
Money, time and effort were wasted because of the outputs that passed the Quality of
the company but dont have good quality at all.
Ann had detected the problems but she didnt find out the main source or contributor of
the problem, is it the machines, personnels, operators, engineers, facilities or shipment
crews.
Opportunity:
Raising the quality of the products by means of eliminating the problems.
All this time the number of customers of the firm might increase if they already figure
that problems are occurring in the production area.
Trust for the firm can also be increase.
Product Engineers or Quality Control Engineers must be put in the production Area. For
a proper inspection must be done every now and then.
If the problems had occurred because of the short time span they have, a planner must
also be put in place for proper scheduling.
Threat:
Other companies might use the defect issues as advantages to grab other supermarkets
to buy their brand of products.
New products might also take over if supermarkets will return the defective/less Quality
outputs that the firm produced.
Environment:
Chick-n-Gravy frozen dinner, Line 1 and Line 2.
Recommendation:
Ann should focus on investigating what might be causing taste problems in the morning
on both lines, morning problems on Line #1 for missing items and afternoon problems
for Line #2 for missing items. Spill/mixed has afternoon problems on both lines, and
there are seal problems on Line #2 throughout the day.
