dc.description.abstractThe HPKO (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil) is utilized for the manufacturing of Product X at Alsina Inc. Oil raw material was originally stored in a tank made of carbon steel which is located in the company’s premises. Because of the type of material, time in service, and inappropriate maintenance, the tanks became rusty readily. This situation generated flakes on the tank’s roof that fell into the oil material and consequently, into the product mix. DMAIC was used as part of the project evaluation and solution proposal. After the evaluation process to compare the three alternatives, we can resume that Alt Tank looks to be the best alternative. This alternative provides a reasonable implementation cost and reduces the actual process impact, including logistic, pumping system and applicable procedures. Safety concerns due to hot water usage to melt the kernel oil using hoses to connect the reheat water to the truck tank water jacket and the usage of a portable ladder to have access to the top of the tank for kernel oil truck tank level verification are reduced.
