Subject:- PTQM Assignment Britannia 50-50 Introduction:- What happens when you mix two completely opposite flavors together? You get the lip-smacking and iconic Britannia 5050 Sweet & Salty biscuit – a biscuit that is deliciously sweet and scrumptiously salty. Launched in 1993, 5050’s dual flavored appeal soon made it a household name, while its whacky and unforgettable ads, including the iconic and much loved “Na re nana 5050” ad campaign only added to its growing popularity amongst the youth. Britannia 50-50 was launched in the year 1993 by Britannia (India), and it was the best snack product which was preferred by all generation of people. In 2001, the delicious Maska Chaska was launched and became the success. Britannia’s 50-50 Snackuits is the latest product under snacking sector with three unique international flavors- Snackuits Italiano Pizza, Snackuits Swiss cheese & Chilly and Snackuits Chinese Hot & Sweet. The strange name of the product has come as 50% of it’s taste is sweet and 50% taste is salty. Raw Materials Required • A) Wheat Flour: Wheat Flour acts as a principal agent in the Biscuit process. It has the unique ability to form gluten. The quantity of quality of gluten are important in assessing the strength of flour. • B) Water :Water acts as a dispersion medium for sugar and other chemicals. The combination and consistency of water is very much important for biscuits. It also acts as a strengthening and leaving agent. • C) Fats and Oils: It is the Tenderizing Agent in the process and acts as lubricants in the biscuit manufacturing process. • D) Sugar: Sugar helps in Caramelization and adds natural taste and flavor to the biscuit. • E) Salt: Salt acts as preservative, flavor enhancer and binding aid in the process. • F) Milk and Milk products: Milk is the key ingredient in this production. It acts as the flavor and taste contributor. Also, helps to enhance crust color and bloom. It improves tenderness of the product. • G) Flavors and Colors: They act as taste and color enhancer of the biscuits. Provides stability at the product pH. • H) Leavening Agent • These raise the volume of the dough. The two primary leavening agent involved in the • Britannia biscuits are: a) S.B.C-Sodium Bicarbonate b) A.B.C-Ammonium Bicarbonate Manufacturing Process • 1) Making dough by mixing the ingredients • Mixing of all the ingredients can be done through single or multiple stages depending upon the type of biscuit to be manufactured. The mixing temperature and dough consistency play important role to the quality of biscuits. • Dough mixer is the machinery required in this process. It mixes the ingredients to make dough. Based on the orientation and the rotation pattern, the dough mixer can be horizontal, vertical, spiral and planetary types. • 2) Process of Fermentation • The fermentation plays important role in the manufacturing biscuit, cookies and all other types of bakery products. • Fermentation is happen in presence of Yeast, so, the dough has to be mixed with yeast and keep it for 20-26 hours to ferment • Dough mixer is once again used in this process since, it can mix yeast with the dough. After the fermentation, the dough is placed on hoper connected to the conveyor and the journey of manufacturing cracker starts. • 3) Giving the shape process • There are several steps involved in the giving the shape process they are: • Step 1: The soft dough is first made flat to make sheets out of the dough. • Step 2: The dough sheets then compressed under series of rollers. • Step 3: The compressed dough sheets now conditioned to make it hard enough to apply toppings above it. Step 4: Toppling of creams or other materials are added over the sheets. • Step 5: The sheet then fed into the rotary cutter. The rotary cutter, a rotating roller with cups attached around it, is used then to get the desired shaped biscuits ready to bake. There are several machineries involved in this process of shaping the biscuits, let’s see themone by one: • Laminators: Laminator performs the rolling operation to flatten the dough. Laminator can be of horizontal or vertical types. • Gauge roll stand: This machine compresses the flat dough to make it little thin and hard. Here again the flat dough is passed under series of rolls pairs. • Rotary cutter: It has a pair of rollers with the desired shaped cups attached surround it. The machine can convert the dough sheet in to biscuits. • 4) Baking the Raw Biscuits • The biscuits from the rotary cutting machine are supplied to the oven for baking it in desired temperature for desired durations. Ovens are used in the process of baking the biscuits. The ovens can be of gas fired, coal fired, electrically heated to primarily categorize it. • It can also vary based on the production rate. Basically an oven consists of conveyor and the heating sources. • 5) Testing • The hot biscuits need to be cooled before it can be tested or packaged. The cooling is done over the conveyor itself. After the cooling, samples of the cookies are tested to ensure quality and tests. Apart from manual testing different other testing are also performed using the reagents in the laboratory. • 6) Packaging and Supply • The conveyor is connected to the weighing and packing machine after the cooling. Automatic weighing and packing is done here. iPhone • The iPhone was the first mobile phone with multi-touch technology. Since the iPhone’s launch, it gained larger screen sizes, video-recording, waterproofing, and many accessibility features. Up to iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, iPhones had a single button on the front panel with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Since iPhone X, iPhone models have switched to a nearly bezel-less front screen design with Face ID facial recognition, and app switching activated by gestures. Touch ID is still used for the budget iPhone SE series. • The iPhone is a line of smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. These devices use Apple’s iOS mobile operating system. The first-generation iPhone was announced by then-Apple CEO Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007. Since then, Apple has annually released new iPhone models and iOS updates. As of November 1, 2018, more than 2.2 billion iPhones had been sold. As of 2022, the iPhone accounts for 15.6% of global smartphone market share. • The iPhone is one of the two largest smartphone platforms in the world alongside Android, and is a large part of the luxury market. The iPhone has generated large profits for Apple, making it one of the world’s most valuable publicly traded companies. The first-generation iPhone was described as a “revolution” for the mobile phone industry and subsequent models have also garnered praise. The iPhone has been credited with popularizing the smartphone and slate form factor, and with creating a large market for smartphone apps, or “app economy”. As of January 2017, Apple’s App Store contained more than 2.2 million applications for the iPhone. Material selection • As a base material, Apple has been using 6000-7000 Aluminium series metal for the iPhone models for a long while. 6000 series aluminium contains added manganese and silicon. This combination of elements allows the alloy to be solution heat treated which improves the alloys strength. 7000 series aluminium is alloyed with zinc and can be precipitation hardened to provide the highest strength of all commercially available aluminium’s. Thanks to the oxide layer of aluminium, the case has a strengthened body and corrosion resistance with having good looking. Production Process • 1. Making of prototype • The idea is conceived in the board room meeting and after considering various options, the affirmation is passed to the research and development lab. The research team commences with a prototype which is in fact a non working one where the aesthetics is the first thing that has to be considered. This model is passed on to the relevant people so that they may give their opinion to make any changes if required. After the looks of the model are zeroed on, the inside working kit of the handset is worked upon. • The rein of this ride is then handed over to the electronics engineering team and thus it is here the decision is taken on the processor and memory along with other specifications for the handset. The matching display screen and the required battery potential are selected. The front and rear cameras are also not missed out. The device is then armed with the selected components and checked for the working performance. After this, if the decision making team is reasonably satisfied with the working then this handset is sent back to the higher ups for their approval. • 2. Software Installation • The software team steps in now to breathe life into the handset. It is basically pre-decided on the operating system that is to be loaded into the phone. It is utmost necessary that the hardware that is the part played by the electronics team is compatible for the smooth functioning of the operating system. It is checked here by many experts in their own manner for the system to be working according to the expectation. • The selected design, loaded with hardware and software is then readied for mass production. At this juncture it is often difficult to go back and alter the already approved working prototype. • 3. Testing Phase • Before the production begins, the handset is rigorously tested for quality, performance and other parameters. They are tested in terms of both hardware and software. Various tests like drop test, bend test and water tests are carried out to check its performance. • 4. Mass Production • When the final prototype is ready, then it is time for mass production. Internal components may either be manufactured in house or outsourced. • Most of the times this information of a new model being launched by the company is leaked to the masses and this could be both helpful or otherwise. Helpful, because it popularizes the ‘to be launched’ handset and gives publicity. And a drawback because this gives a chance for critics to find out faults in the still to be produced models and thus drop down the ratings. • The mass production of the quality passed model commences. This could be at the manufacturers own plant or can also be outsourced to other manufacturers also known as original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to be made as per their instructed quality and standards. The smartphones are also assembled in this process. • 5. Packaging • When the handset passes all the tests, then it is sent for packaging. The handset along with accessories and user manual are put into the box ready to be shipped. • 6) Shipment • The final stage of the entire process is shipment. These packaged phones are then dispatched to distributors, stockists and retailers across the globe and then from these retailers it is the end customer who picks up the handset. • So this is the entire process of making of a smartphone.
