PepsiCo Frito-Lay's popcorn line is an almost fully automated manufacturing line beginning with kernels and ending with packaging. Once the kernels have been popped, the popcorn goes through a tumbler where cheese mix is added to flavor it. This tumbler has a pipe attached to it that runs six feet from a slurry container with two nozzles that spray the popcorn with the cheese slurry. These two nozzles must run concurrently for the correct amount of product to be sprayed on the popcorn. This nozzle clogs regularly, and when this happens, the line must be shut down and the entire 6 foot pipe must be removed to clear the nozzle, which causes immense downtime and lost profits. Additionally, the popcorn line has the opportunity to improve its bulk density testing. The bulk density system sits next to the popcorn line. It is a simple bucket on a scale where every hour, the bucket is manually filled with coated product and excess popcorn is cleared from the rim. The weight is recorded in the computer system. This currently requires someone to manually measure the Smartfood popcorn density, taking the operator away from other tasks and reducing efficiency. Since this is a fully manual process, it is also not being completed as routinely as it should. There is an opportunity to automate how this is done to ensure the popcorn weight is being measured hourly. The data from the bulk density testing allows Frito-Lay to keep track of the amount of cheese sprayed onto the product to maintain their quality standards. To improve the efficiency of the line, the group will propose a solution for two designs that will decrease downtime both for the cheese sprayer clogging problem and the bulk density testing problem. The overall objective for the solutions is improving the efficiency of the popcorn line.
