Thesis: Increasing the performance at Packaging Line 51 at Heineken

02 October 2014

To stay ahead of the competition, Heineken needs to increase efficiency continuously. Mainly, this means producing more in the same time, preferably with fewer resources than currently. One of the packaging lines for which this holds is line 51 of the Heineken brewery in Zoeterwoude, which fills and packages bottles of beer. The current performance of this line is below the target stated by management, and therefore improvements are necessary.
For her Master Thesis at the University of Twente Marjon Pol determined how the operational performance of packaging line 51 can be improved. As safety and quality are really important, the research is bounded by some constraints.
