The main bottling plant at Yummy Soft drinks has a capacity
of
90,000 liters a day, and works a seven-day week. It fills
standard
bottles of 1000 ml, and these are passed to a packing area
which
can form up to 10,500 cases a day with 12 bottles each. The
packing area works a five-day week.
The cases are taken to warehouses by a transport company
whose “N” lorries can each carry 500 cases, and make up to 3
trips a day for 7 days a week.
There are two main warehouses, each of which can handle up to
26,250 cases a week. Local deliveries are made from the
warehouses by a fleet of small vans that can handle everything
passed to them by the warehouse.
