Case Study: NutriFoods S$.$A$.$

NutriFoods S$.$A$.$ produces and distributes processed foods $($cereals$,$ instant soups, and energy bars$)$ with a focus on high quality and competitive prices. The company has a $2,000$ m$^2$ central warehouse on the outskirts of the city, which operates as the main distribution point for its customers throughout the country. The warehouse manages two types of products: $1.$ Finished products $($ready to be distributed$).2.$ Raw materials $($inputs such as grains, sugar, flavorings, and packaging$).$ Product rotation is critical, as many have a short shelf life $(30$ to $180$ days$).$ Currently, the warehouse faces space problems, inventory obsolescence, and shipping delays.

$5.$ Inventory Quality Control

NutriFoods must implement rigorous quality controls on products entering and leaving the warehouse to maintain its reputation for high quality.

Question:

a$)$ Design a quality control process for products entering the warehouse.

b$)$ How would you ensure that finished products meet quality standards before being shipped to customers?
