Capturing Quality In A Can: REXAM Beverage Can Group

The can that kept your most recent beer or soda fresh and delicious just may have been manufactured by the Rexam Beverage Can Group, which produces an annual volume of 55 billion cans in 50 plants around the world, making it the market leader. The company applies a protective coating to the interior of every can to help it maintain freshness, cleanliness and taste. But when the company detected variation in the weight of the coating applied on two of the company’s production lines,  it initiated a Six Sigma improvement project powered by Minitab Statistical Software.
