FAQs

Quality control checks should be performed at regular intervals throughout each production shift, with some critical parameters being monitored continuously. The frequency may vary depending on the specific product and production volume, but typically includes hourly, per-batch, and start/end of shift checks.

Key areas include ingredient quality, water quality, syrup preparation, carbonation levels, fill volumes, cap/closure integrity, label application, date coding, packaging integrity, and sensory evaluation of the final product.

Quality control inspectors, production supervisors, and line operators are typically responsible for implementing the quality control checklist, with oversight from the quality assurance manager or production manager.

Data collected can be analyzed to identify trends, optimize production parameters, reduce variability, and implement continuous improvement initiatives. It can also be used for traceability purposes and to demonstrate compliance with quality standards during audits.

Common tools include refractometers for measuring sugar content, pH meters, dissolved oxygen meters, pressure gauges for carbonation checks, weighing scales for fill volume verification, and various sampling devices for microbiological and chemical testing.
