Wegman’s Cheesecake DepanningImprovement www.wegmans.com/webapp
OBSERVATIONS • Pizza oven is set at 1 min • Time study for depanning • After 10 samples we calculated an avg time of 8.3s for large cheesecakes • Larges seem easier due to weight • “Espresso chocolate crust breaks apart easier” • “Yogurt recipe showed more cracks in the crust”
SYSTEMS ARCHITCTURE Material: Environment:
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS Is a springform pan or collapsible pan possible with a wet bake? Is our solution going to be accepted by the operators doing the work? Will a pan insert affect the heat transfer that currently takes place in the tunnel oven?
IMMEDIATE PLAN • Weeks 7 & 8: Observe process, perform further time studies, interview operators for opinions and ideas • Weeks 8 & 9: Test several of the low-cost and least disruptive concepts (Ex. Mallet to bottom of pan) • Week 10: Subsystems Design Review (Tuesday 10/28)
CONCERNS What actually constitutes a Cheesecake with good atheistic quality? We need grease specs (type & quantity) Change to yogurt recipe – will ingredient changes affect our solutions? Heating pattern in the tunnel oven
