Manufacturing

Production Feasibility Demonstration:

Successful products must be effectively and efficiently produced. AA&T understands the roles of R&D, production, and QA, and considers these roles during product development to ensure product will function properly during manufacture.

During new product development, AA&T determines the manufacturing and quality parameters/requirements and incorporates them into the product design.

Subsequently, AA&T conducts a production feasibility demonstration (batch tests at the production facility) to evaluate flavor and functionality.

AA&T also evaluates the manufacturing capabilities for ingredient delivery, volume or weight control, line staffing, and process equipment needs, etc., and helps design the requirements for new equipment.

Key Benefits:

• Significant savings in start up costs:

  Minimizes new equipment requirements due to “compatible” product design
  Product modifications are made using minimal test batches
  Establishes quality parameters

• Identifies critical manufacture issues for start up
  
  
• Production delivers the intended product
  
  
• Quality is built into the product and production process
  
  
• Ensures quality by production not inspection
