Abstract:
This study involves discovering the process of Canned Mackerel Production. It
is purposed to analyze Mackerels proportion, in order to comprehend any probable
causes of product quantitys losing, and also how to increase the quantity of whole
canned Mackerel, referred to the process of a sample firm.
The overall approach has found from the sample that actually there is only
36.63 percent.
This project concludes that the causes of Mackerels quantity lost are mostly
from 3 steps: cutting off head fish streaming fish and trimming off its skin. In the
researchers analysis, it is found that the main causes were: unskillfully staffs in the
cutting step, unshaped knives, slow cooling, and a serrated grating, and changing the
time to sharpen knives, unfreshed Mackerel, and non-standardized process. With the
use of Why and Why technique, the ways to solve this matter are, first is to steam
whole fish without cutting off the head and second is to adjust timing of steam and
third is to cool fish immediately after being cooked, instead of moving it while frozen,
lastly, the new grille design and to train well the staffs Operation Procedure Manual
for better information needed while processing.
The result of the study was presented to the case industry and case studies
and improvement that can be increased to yield total production capacity to 42.80
percent and total cost savings were 1,432,200 baht per year.
