Choose any modern or historic manufacturing process that has a lot of information that you can access. Interesting companies include paper mills (Blandin), steel production (United Sates Steel Corporation), aluminum production (Alcoa), slaughter houses (Tyson, Cargill, etc.), and all the large manufacturers like Toro, Bobcat, 3M (choose a division), etc. Large companies like GE, Boeing, 3M, Coca Cola, etc., will have plenty of information on their Websites. Be sure that the information pertains to the manufacturing process and waste issues. Write a report about the company using the following headings: Products produced Manufacturing facility layout Process classification Life cycle analysis of the product Life cycle analysis of the facility Waste streams (air, water, solids) that have an environmental impact. Recommendations that can improve performance Financial Ecological Sustainability Worker satisfaction

4. Life Cycle analysis of product
Starts with collection of all the raw materials needed such as carbonated water, sugar, additives, and caffeine. Materials are further processed to make sure there are no impurities.
The water goes through processes of filtration, chlorination and coagulation to prevent suspending particles, organic matter and bacteria. When water is filtered and sterilized ingredients – sugar, flavor concentrates and syrups are put into batch tanks carefully combined by proportioner machines that regulates the portion of each ingredient.
Then comes the next step which is carbonation where the temperature of the product is controlled because during carbonation the solubility increases and the temperature of the liquid decreases.
After carbonation, the finished product is transferred into bottles/cans that is immediately pressure sealed. Before the bottles/cans are labeled, they are cooled.
Quality Control is conducted with strict standards before they are packaged and distributed.
They are then distributed to stores around the country.
Lastly at the end of the cycle, consumers can choose to either recycle or dispose.
Hope this helps! Sorry could not help you with all the heads as we are allowed only 4 subparts
