ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION SYSTEM DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT IN THE SOFT DRINK INDUSTRY (A CASE STUDY OF LIMCA BOTTLING PLANT OKIGWE)

ABSTRACT

The utmost aim of this study is to clearly define the factors necessary for the design of an efficient production system with a medium scale industry as the case study.  It is also hoped that in the course of the study definition will be given to the design of a production system as it is manifested practically in commerce and industry
Taking Limca bottling  company Okeigwe as the case study it is aimed to find out if overall performance of production of the company is a direct consequence of the  nature of system and the criteria for the selection of the system design and management
In carrying out this research obvious efforts were direct towards the following
1.Defining effective management procedures for operating efficient production system.
2.  To find how an efficient production system can leas to the provision of abundant goods and service and create employment opportunities.
Due to the nature of the study only those on the management level of the study, only those on analysis of data obtained and findings the researcher was able to conclude that:
1.Effective management procedure will guarantee the operation of   efficient production system 
2.There exist a relationship between production
3.Efficient production system design can lead to provision of quality goods and service and also    create employment opportunities
In concluding the work the researcher made the following recommendations:
i.The company should hold firm to active strategy in production
ii.Work study should be carried by the company
iii.The company has to source raw material locally
