2. Total Quality Management (TQM)
Total Quality Management is a comprehensive, organization-wide effort to improve the
quality of products and services, applicable to all organizations.
Total Quality Management is an approach to the art of management that originated in
Japanese industry in the 1950's and has become steadily more popular in the West since the
early 1980's. Total Quality is a description of the culture, attitude and organization of a
company that aims to provide, and continue to provide, its customers with products and
services that satisfy their needs. The culture requires quality in all aspects of the company's
operations, with things being done right first time, and defects and waste eradicated from
operations. TQM is the way of managing for the future, and is far wider in its application
than just assuring product or service quality – it is a way of managing people and business
processes to ensure complete customer satisfaction at every stage, internally and externally.
TQM, combined with effective leadership, results in an organization doing the right things

are
1. Carbonated Water

7. Test Procedure of CSD Product:
Teste: All the product teste should be appropriate. They have taken sample from every batch
Oder: Oder also should be appropriate.
Appearance: Appearance also should be good.
CO2 test: CO2 is an important component in CSD product. They have to ensure about that.
Brix: In beverage industry “% of dissolved solid with 20˚c temperature it’s called ˚Brix”
In general, “% of dissolved Sucrose with 20˚c temperature it’s called ˚Brix”
Torque test: Cap/closer torque also should be appropriate.
Test Procedure of pH:
i. At first take a pH meter.
ii. Take some sample in a beaker.
iii. pH electrode dip into the beaker.
iv. Then take reading
Acidity: The capacity of base to neutralize the equipment amount of acid is

Acidity Test of Speed, Clemon (only for citric acid beverage):
Acidity Test Equipment:
i. Burette ii. Pipette iii. Conical Flask
Chemicals: i. Indicator (P) ii. Base Solution (NaOH – 0.106 N)
Calculation:
B.R × strength of NaOH × Equivalent weight of acid (citric acid) × 100
Sample weight (ml) × 1000
Result: ……..
Weight : They have measured the weight of the product by taking sample.
Tare Weight : {( package size in Ltr × G.V (max) × gas constant (Exp:1.856) +
( preform wt + closer wt ) ÷ appearance density
Example for 250 ml mojo :
= {(0.25 × 4.1× 1.856 ) + ( 15.2 gm + 2.24 ) ÷ 1.04
= 1.9024 + 17.44 ÷ 1.04
= 19.3424 ÷ 1.04
= 18.60
Date code and Labels: They also check date code and label of every product by automatic
hi-speed electronic eye.
