Production Method and Design

Most of the flavors of RC Cola are as concentrates, which are rigorously analyzed to
ensure the quality specifications. Each concentrate lot is coded and packaged, then
shipped on for the next step - the addition of sweetener and water to the concentrates
to produce syrups for cola
The quality standards are very high. Mixing tanks must be of a specified grade of
stainless steel. The entire syrup manufacturing system must employ hot sanitation.
Precise control over water and sweetener components must be demonstrated. And,
quality control professionals must oversee each step of the process.
RC syrups start with fresh water, treated by using a multiple barrier filtration process.
In one tank there are two large mixers, which look like wheels from outside. There
tons of sugars are added to produce syrup. Then the syrup is transferred to the other
tank where it is refined. After that it is kept under the Ultra Violet (UV) ray to clean
the germs. In another tank the flavors are mixed. Finally it is transferred to the
carbonated chamber. Throughout the manufacturing process, they take special care
to ensure that every step - from the selection of ingredients to the calibration of
equipment - requirements. The final step is to verify that their efforts have been
successful by testing the syrups for taste and adherence to their formula.

Inventory control
Inventory control balances the need for adequate stock against the costs of
purchasing, handling, storing and keeping records on it. It is an attempt to keep
enough material on hand to satisfy production requirements and at the same time
avoid tying up too much capital in inventors. RC can keep its raw materials very well
because if they do not keep their materials well they can face a heavy loss.

Materials management
RC cola is a soft drink. To prepare it needs some elements that are very essential for
it. The RC Company buys its raw materials from home and aboard. The RC Company
establishes performance specification for required item, or accepts supplier’s
specification. Department that needs submits purchase requisition to purchasing
agent. Purchasing agent sends purchase order to supplier. Purchasing agent follows to
confirm item will be delivered according to terms. Goods – received and inspected by
the inspector of RC Company.

Production control
Production control, one of the most important concerns in making a product, is
coordinating the interaction of people, materials and machinery. So that products are
made in the proper amounts of the required times to fill orders. Production controllers
are like orchestra conductors. RC production controller can control all the parts that
are related to produce RC Cola. The controller increases their production when
different occasion occurs but in cold time they reduce their production. If the
controller of RC Company cannot realize the condition they can fall a lot of loss.

Quality control

keep their product quality very straightly. They try to provide more quality product to
