Problem Solving is a speciality
Here are some examples of solved problems:
Blooming product
Company Z produced a new range of products for the “Pick and Mix” market. These products consisted of a centre enrobed in plain chocolate. One variety bloomed after a few weeks even when stored in good conditions. We quickly found the cause of the problem.
Stiff Nougat
Company Y produced a reduced energy bar with a soft nougat centre. When the other ingredients were being mixed in the mixer became very stiff and the mixer overloaded. After site visit I found the cause of the trouble
Recipe Matching
Company Q was interested in making a similar product to a competitor. I produced a recipe starting from the ingredients list and nutritional information on the wrapper.
Stale Crispies
Company K was was producing a chocolate coated bar with soft nougat and expanded cereal pieces. One month’s production all cracked on storage. I investigated and found the source of the problem. It should not occur again.
Do you know what caused these problems?
