Question One
Consider the process of manufacturing and selling yoghurts in Sri Lankan market as an example. Assume
that they produce and sell yoghurts of different flavours, sizes and forms such as set yoghurt, stirred
yoghurt, yoghurt drink etc.
A. Identify a suitable method of production for the above operation and justify your answer.
Yoghurt is a popular fermented dairy productwhich has its origin in Eastern Europe but now consumed all over
the world.Let us see how the process of manufacturing and selling Newdale yoghurts in Sri Lankan market as an
example. For the past 16 years, Anchor Newdale has been sourcing fresh milk from a large network on a daily
basisof 4000 Sri Lankan dairy farmers for yoghurts, flavoured milk, curd and fresh milk.
In 2010, they became one of the first brands to combine the natural nutritional benefits of yoghurt with the
probiotic DR10TM.
The type of production will be classified according to material flow which can be divided into three divisions.
 Job Production – This production method is used for one product or rarely used for bulk production. In this
method it will motivate for workers because it gives an opportunity for the workers to produce the whole product
and take credits in it
For e.g.:-wedding cake making, civil engineering constructions.
 Batch Production–This procedure for producing any batch of products in which all the products in the batch go
through the entire manufacturing process together.Although batch production frequently involves a small number
of people, this strategy is perhaps the most widely utilized method for arranging manufacturing and promotes
specialist labor.When many similar things are manufactured at the same time, this is known as batch
manufacturing.Before moving on to the next step of production, each batch goes through one stage.
 Flow Production-This is also known as mass production which is another popular production method.
Flow production occurs when a product is constructed over number of different processes; the product is
constructed at each stage and then passed on to the next stage, where it is constructed again.
Because there is less of a requirement for experienced people, this form of production is the most cost-effective
and efficient method.
Batch Production is the suitable method of production for yoghurt manufacturing. As there are different varieties of
yoghurt like, set yoghurt is packed immediately after immunization and is incubated in the package. Stirred yoghurt is
produced by adding fruit and other condiments after setting, followed by a gentle stirring motion. Drinking yoghurt is
produced by adding fruit juice and other flavoring compounds to a thick liquid using high speed mixers. Frozen
yoghurt is a set yoghurt, combined with sugar and stabilizers before being pasteurized and frozen.
 PRODUCTION METHOD
It is a simple procedure where milk can be braced with milk powder to deliver a thicker item, is purified,
cooled and immunized with starter bacteria, which ferment the milk, causing it to clot or gel.The main
ingredient in yogurt is milk. So that the type of milk used will be depends on the type of yogurt. Like, whole
milk for full fat yogurt, low-fat milk for low-fat yogurt, and skim milk for nonfat yogurt.

Other dairy ingredients are allowed in yogurt to adjust the composition, such as cream to adjust the fat content,
and nonfat dry milk to adjust the solids content.
