Process description

The ACT bakery has a goods reception area where all raw material is received and registered. When incoming raw material is registered, it is moved to either a coll raw material storage or a dry raw material storage. If raw material becomes out of date or damaged in any way, it is removed from the storages and registered into raw material disposal.

The ACT bakery has 4 production lines:

• Bun production line. This line produces buns and muffins. Raw material is consumed from the storage. The first step is to produce a dough, which is used to create the raw buns. The buns are baked in an oven, and packed in bags of different sizes before they are transported and registered into the finished goods storage.
• Bread production line. This line produces bread. Raw material is consumed from the storage. The first step is to produce a dough, which is used to create the raw bread. The bread are baked in an oven, and after a cooling period the bread are sliced and packed in bags before they are transported and registered into the finished goods storage.
• Confectionary line. This line produces special cakes on customer demand. The cakes are decorated according to customer wishes. The line has indirectly individual tracking by the use of RFID marked cake platters.
• Cookie production line. This is a super quick high volume cookie production line which produces 120000 cookies per day. Every cookie is tracked by individual in order to compare cookie quality and production parameters. The individual tracking is accomplished by software installed on the production machinery.

All products are stored in a finished goods storage. At shipping time, the products are moved to a transport ramp and loaded onto trucks.
