Excessive Packaging Line Waste and Reject Rates
Definition
Poor packing line efficiency in breweries leads to high levels of rework, rejects, and packaging waste due to stoppages, breakdowns, and suboptimal machine settings. This results in ongoing waste of product and materials that could have been sold. Implementing monitoring and adjustments reduced these issues, confirming they were systemic prior to fixes.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: £40,000+ per year from reduced reject rates and packaging waste; £150,000+ per year from reject rates; £120,000+ per year efficiency savings[2]
- Frequency: Ongoing (daily line operations with continuous waste accumulation)
- Root Cause: Planned/unplanned stoppages, breakdowns, and machine speed variations causing rejects and waste
