QUALITY CONTROL AT PRODUCTION OF SOFT DRINKS

U radu je opisana kontrola kvalitete u proizvodnji pića na primjeru tvrtke „Coca-Cola HBC Hrvatska“ d.o.o. Osiguranje kvalitete odvija se na nekoliko razina – počevši od osiguranja i kontrole higijenskih uvjeta proizvodnje, preko kontrole ulaznih sirovina (npr.: vode, šećera, koncentrata) i svih materijala koji se koriste u proizvodnji, do kontrole kvalitete gotovih proizvoda. „Coca-Cola HBC Hrvatska“ d.o.o. je svjesna da krajnji potrošači žele kvalitetan, zdrav i siguran proizvod, a to mogu ispuniti jedinom upravljanjem kvalitetom od ulaza potrebnih sirovina do samog proizvoda na našim stolovima. Teorijskim i eksperimentalnim dijelom pokazat ćemo koje vrste kontrole kvalitete koriste u proizvodnji pića s PET ambalažom i njenu važnost kako bi mogli prepoznati i ispraviti neispravnost u proizvodnji.This paper describes quality control in the production of beverages on the example of Coca-Cola HBC Croatia d.o.o. Quality assurance takes place at several levels - starting from ensuring and controlling the hygienic conditions of production, through the control of input raw materials (eg. water, sugar, concentrates) and all materials used in production, to the quality control of finished products.
