Case Study Assignment 5 - King Canning Inc. King Canning Inc., is a small-sized company in Chatham Ontario that cans meat and vegetable products. After months of negotiation, King Canning secured a major conditional contract with the Canadian Coast Guard to deliver canned product starting in three months. This contract is contingent upon safety inspection of the canned product for moisture, trauma and heat resistance. Concerned about the government safety inspection, Rick Kabor, the president and owner of the company, established rigid quality control in the facility. As the bidding of other canning facilities have reportedly been cancelled due to the number of failed cans, Rick acquired and implemented three state- of-the-art testing procedures. "I think we have everything in place to pass thesafety inspection, but I want our internal quality audit to expand" said Rick at the weekly meeting with his employees. "We are up for a health audit of our cans next month so we should make sure the number of failure of our cans is not on the rise. I need to know I also want to know how we are doing on an overall basis and in each department and if we have any issue where and when failures happen". As an added measure, Rick brought in a food quality consultant, Ray Guindon, to take a look at their quality procedures, run an independent audit and make recommendations. Because Ray was a quality analyst, he advised Rick he could only make technical recommendations just to point the company in the right direction. On the first day Ray paid a visit to the production floor. After discussions with the production supervisors in his tours of the four operations, he decided to take random samples of the cans that leave each department line and subjecting them to more stringent testing using the newly acquired equipment. He did this test during the three working shifts (Morning, Afternoon and Night) without allowing the production supervisors to part take in these testing. He conducted the testing everyday during last month. Next, Ray recorded the number of failures he observed in the cans that were produced in the four departments and summarized it in Appendix A. The next day he received a mega job offer he could not refuse so he offered you a handsome compensation for finishing his contract with Rick. You are therefor required to fill in and make recommendation to Rick Kabor based on analysis of failure trends and process control during the last month. Case Study Assignment 5 - King Canning Inc.
