ANSWER:
COMPANY: P&G
PRODUCT: Pantene
MANUFACTURING ENVIRONMENT:
Pantene Shampoo is a FMCG product, which means
that it is a fast moving item, it sells within a few days
and does not stay on shelves for a long time. Shampoo
is a product that is used almost every other day in all
the houses. Its production is done on the basis of forecast. Make to stock
manufacturing is the environment that I will choose for this product, because for
this product it is important that the production is done and delivered on time to
fulfill the demand of the people. Make to stock manufacturing environment only
has one lead time that is delivery lead time, by the help of this manufacturing
environment the lead time can be reduced and production can be completed on
time according to the demand.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS:
The manufacturing process that I will choose for production of Pantene Shampoo
is Line Flow Manufacturing process. The product has low variety and is produced
in high volume, because of a FMCG product. Same routing is followed, and

workers and machineries are dedicated for the same work and path. The process of
product includes that first the shampoo is prepared or mixed in a container and
then filled in batches according to the sizes of the bottle. Each bottle is prepared
after passing through the same path from point of starting to ending. As Pantene
comes with different choices, so the process has different independent stations that
prepare similar product with a bit difference such as fragrance or chemicals.
MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE:
The production of Pantene Shampoo is done in a flow, if the defects are removed
and process is made smooth then it will be easy to perform all the operations and
make the product. I will choose lean sigma strategy to achieve manufacturing
excellence of this product. Lean sigma will help to eliminate the waste product and
will faster the speed of the process. This process will increases the efficiency of the
production, which will help to produce high volumes of the product and meet the
demand on time.
WAREHOUSING TYPE:
I will choose private warehousing type for this product. Although it is costly, and
the whole responsibility is on the company, but Pantene is a big brand and
production of this product is done in large quantity. If the company rent or contract
warehouse then still there are some restrictions and security issues, but if the
warehouse is owned by company then it can be managed in the best way. The
production volume is high for Pantene shampoo, having own warehouse will make
it easy to deal with the stock and arrange it in the best possible ways.
TRANSPORTATION TYPE:
The transportation type that I will select for this product will be private. The
company will have to purchase its own transportation and keep staff for it, but it
will also be easy, as company can select any route and any schedule as per their
choice. The private transport also guarantees safety because company will take all
the measures to safely deliver the product.
STOCK PICKING:
Pantene Shampoo is produced on the basis of demand and it has to be dispatched in
large orders for deliveries, also it has to deliver many order in one time. I will
choose multi order system for this purpose, as different zones will send particular
product and it will merged and dispatched in marshalling area. This way the
company can dispatch multiple orders at a time.
