ENGN1211 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Process Engineering
Mars 1
• Both had 4 different jobs within the company- came out of ANU
• Food manufacture does not slow down
• Very different to bring food into Australia —> quarantine
• 119 billion industry
• 25 billion exports because the high quality food is exported to Asia, china, south Africa
• Mars incorporated: pet care, chocolate, wrigley,
• Factories
◦ wyong- food
◦ asquith- wrigley
◦ bathurst- pet care
◦ warambul- bird care
• 2014 and 2015- number one manufacturing company in Australia
• 70 nations across the world- in top 10 manufacturing company in the world
Supply chain management
• Links suppliers, to manufacturing, to customers, analyses transport options and cost,
Optimises material movement and requirements
◦ Long distance movement
▪ Longest Australian transport in a 3700km- short for us, long for
Europeans
▪ Dollar, service, emotions
▪ Planning optimization before hand
▪ Longest global transporting: >250000km
▪ $5000 container from Australia to Russia- 25ton
▪ $900 three and a half hour truck
Process engineering
• Design processes to make the products
• Specify required capabilities
• Test and validate new equipment
◦ Packaging- gum
◦ Flatten blocks into sheets, ass non stick coating, cut stick to size, separate
sticks, wrap individual sticks, insert info sales unit box, insert into
shipping packages- process engineers come up with these kind of
processes
