Abstract:
|
This study aims to assess the milk quality supplied to Laticínios Industry Buril Ltda., located in the city Arauá (Brazil) during the period August 31, 2010 to September 19, 2010. For this we analyzed the variables density, freezing point and fat acidity using Shewhart control charts. It was obtained as a result for the Xbar control chart, the variable density values were of limits of the control. Regarding the control charts for the standard deviation, density, fat and acidity showed peaks, indicating the need to apply the controls charts revised to overcome this situation. Thus, it is essential that after the construction of control charts corrective actions are implemented during the production of milk, just when it looks at the failure, thus avoiding problems for the company and prevent further failures.
