OPERATION MANAGEMENT (MGT508) Assignment One
Assignment 1 (case 1)
Answer:
Bob Raines and Megan Waters own and operate the Rainewater Brewery, a micro –brewery that grew out of their shared hobby of making home brew. The process charts of the brewery preparation shown below.
According to this process they both make around batch of 1000 bottles. During the process of beer making if the slightly colour and taste was a little off then whole batch rejected. But they both do not afford the cost of the rejected batch.
So the several quality control method that Rainwater Brewery might use to ensure the good

Measuring cylinder:
Brewery should use the government approved measuring cylinder to check the filling volume in the bottle. By doing that adjust machines of filling by checking all nozzles volume start the filling.
Filter press:
Brewery should use better filter press for filtration. In this process the qualify person should check the filter pad is washed and filter press is cleaned properly and fitted properly. After starting the filtration process the qualify person checks every 1o min of filtered sample by using white and black background with light shade. So sometime we can identify filtered beer is according to standard quality. I suggest one thing Brewery should use the o.1 micron filter which increases the quality of the beer.
Consistency:
I think the brewer behaves like consistency way such as brewer check the material is according to weight is used. Check the time and temperature at which they are brewed.
The rate and extend of yeast grow intimately affects beer flavor, and yeast growth arise from pitching rate. That can be identified directly by haemocyto meter count under microscope. This requires appropriate laboratory skills and a decent laboratory to go with it.
Finally I want to say that this process takes more time for making the beer and it is home based business. So, the more care should be taken by both to maintain
The quality of beer and the emergence of different types was a result of trial and error in the brewing.
The experiment was conducted to determine the impact different yeast amounts had on yeast fermentation. It was hypothesized that the more yeast added the more CO2 would be produced. The carbon dioxide production was measured in the fermentation of yeast with solution of no yeast in test tube 1, 1mL yeast in test tube 2, and 3mL of yeast in test tube 3 over a period of twenty minutes. All of the yeast amounts produced CO2, but test tube 3 was the most efficient of the three.
In the United States the beer industries are regulated by the state and the federal governments. The state and the federal government pass their opinions in term of production, advertisement, distribution,
In a highly regulated three their system, access to market has grown exponentially more difficult for small brewers in just the last decade. Consolidation within the distribution tier has created far fewer and much larger wholesalers to choose from. It is imperative that the microbrewers know and understand the second tier of the business to ensure their products are adequately marketed and handled.
The following report is to introduce the brewery's profile and production process, which include brewing
So what makes one beer more interesting than another? It begins with the brewer, choosing ingredients, mixing flavors, and making subtle changes.

Political Forces. The political forces affect the beer industry to a large extent. The rates of the beer in various parts of the country are affected by the taxes and duties applied by the Government. The political forces also affect the pricing of the beer by lowering the duties or deregulating the distribution channel. This leads to lower margins for the distribution channel partners. Leinenkugel will need to set up a distributor in the New England area to effectively distribute to this area.
Making the highest quality beer has been a passion of the Miller Brewing Company since its founder, Frederick J. Miller, began his brewing business in 1855. Since then, Miller Brewing has grown from a small local brewer to the second largest brewery in the U.S., with seven major breweries located across America. You might recognize their television commercial ads of football referees flagging people with made up penalties like “unbeermanlike” conduct for drinking a Budweiser rather then a Miller Light. Their sales pitch of course is
The brewing industry can be characterized by Porter’s Five Forces framework. New entries to brewing have a relative ease in creating home micro-breweries, which is aided by
Craft beer should not only be sold as premium beer among graduates and people with income of more than 75000 USD but also to people with moderate income.
This report will examine the external environment of the brewing industry using a PESTEL analysis and the internal capabilities of ABInBev using a value chain analysis in order to determine how the firm appears to compete. Following this, strategies for improving the competitive position of the company will be outlined.
Beer Company 1 is a “national brewer of mass-market consumer beers sold under a variety of brand names” (pg. 120). As one might expect, this national company has “an extensive network of breweries and distribution systems and owns some beer-related businesses” (pg. 120). It also owns several major theme parks.
The malt is now ready for the brewing process. Production methods will differ from brewery to brewery, as well as according to brewery equipment and beer types. Athenian Brewery S.A uses its own production methods; however the main processes will be similar. The description below applies to the production of a typical lager beer in a brewery with a lauter tun installed.
The Boon Rawd Brewery Co. Ltd. owns two breweries in German. The first one located in the town of Mittweida, that brew Mittweida beer and the second one brews Gerand Hartmanndorf beer in the town of Gerand Hartmanndorf.
