Coffee Diet at Farmer Brothers

Farmer Brothers Company, founded in 1912, is a coffee company that prides itself in roasting, manufacturing, and distributing high-quality coffees and more products to its customers. Currently, listed bag lengths have an inaccurate tare weight listed, thus causing excess coffee to be dispensed during packaging. Our project aims to analyze factors and limitations contributing to improper machine setup and implement a solution that minimizes the amount of sellable coffee given away.
