Tiivistelmä
The commissioner of the work was Kahakka Brewery, which is a small sized brewery located in Kokkola, Finland. The company did not yet have complete methods on how to ensure good quality of their products, which was the foundation for this work. The aim of the work was to create SOPs for the brewing process, and in this way improve the quality control of the process.
The brewing process is a complex and sensitive process, and every step is important and has to be completed successfully. Mistakes during one of the steps will have an effect on the whole process, and in the end also on the product quality. Therefore SOPs are implemented to ensure no variation in quality.
Quality management is of great importance in order to assure good quality of the products. The expected outcome of a quality management system is to produce high quality products in a consistent way. For a brewery, this equals producing quality beer constantly.
