OPMT 2298 - Business Process Improvement BCIT Mini Case - Chick-n-Gravy Dinner Line The Operations Manager of a company that produces frozen dinner had received numerous complaints from supermarkets about the company's Chick-n-Gravy dinners. The manager asked her assistant, Ann, to investigate the matter and to report her recommendation. Ann's first task was to determine what problems were generating the complaints. The majority of complaints centered on five defects: underfilled packages, a missing item, spilled/mixed items, unacceptable taste, and improperly sealed packages. Next, she took 800 samples and dinners from the two production lines and examined each sample, making a note of any defects that she found. A summary of those results is shown in the table below.
