The document outlines several cost-saving initiatives being implemented by the QA/QC department, including introducing new frying techniques for cashews and peanuts that could save over 87% and 94% respectively on oil consumption. Management of production overtime by QC staff and reducing waste by reusing returned products or creating new recipes are also described. Charts show current versus expected oil usage and annual nut quantities. The initiatives aim to optimize resources and reduce costs.

QC staff instead of claiming overtime.
 Playing the key role of monitoring the sales return products to be ready for

3. QC Department starts coast saving activities
early at end of 2021,in which we execute the

 A cost saving of more than 50 % (around 350 kg of several products) for the
samples submitted to Kuwait municipality (PAFN).
 Maximum Usage of used paper while printing as well as digital Quality report approvals
instead of consuming new A4 papers, and sequentially printer’s ink.

import.
