Control Systems Improvement for Malt Beer Production in a Brewery using the Hoque’s Model

Abstract

This work deals with the production planning and control of malt beer production in a brewery. The production and demand data of about 17 years, from 2001 to 2017 were collected and carefully analyzed using the Hoque’s production planning and control model, which contains all major inventories when setting a production and control plan. The unit production cost of the product being considered was set at ₦140.00, holding cost is set at 25% of total production cost. Transportation cost was set at 48% of production cost, the average units of product per year is about 1,683,401, and the inventory for the various years falls at 32%, which within the range from various literatures. Various models were deduced using the least square regression. These models can be used to make future estimates of production plan. The future production plan was created and a load estimate was also made, in form of capacity requirement plan. This project will serve as a guide for planning and controlling future production and may also be useful for other companies that want to control production.
