Destructive temp check
PL2, 3 & 5.
Temperature samples taken every 10 min regardless the type of
filling.
Temperature samples are being taken every 10 min.
For all cold fill products, temperature is not a food safety measure.
Deemed samples can be taken every 30 min, same as cap security
checks.
Frequency of temperature checks on all cold fill products lowered.
All teams briefed against One Point Lesson.
System reviewed, Change Control completed and approved by
technical.
Checks in place since 29/02/2016
Total saving of £23.2k /PA
Waste reduction on the line
Temperature check on all cold fill products performed on same
sample as cap security, therefore 0 waste.
Temperature still monitored all through the run.
(1) Sampling frequency higher
than required costing us
31.1k GBP annualised
(2) Sub-optimal use of quality
samples – using additional
samples for testing when
common samples for testing
could be utilised
(3) Morale impacted adversely
by nonsensical use of good
product for quality sample
when smarter way could be
implemented
31.1k Destructive Testing of Temperature
Checks Annual Cost (kGBP)
7.9k
(1) Sampling frequency
reduced on all cold fill
products to 30 min
(2) Waste reduced by 2/3 on all
plastic lines
(3) Waste completely
eliminated on glass lines as
samples used for other
checks are being utilised for
temperature checks.
