De, Villiers Mark Graham. "Energy management in industry : a case study on the brewing industry." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 1992. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/21960.
Full textAbstract:
The industrial sector is the main energy user in South Africa, using about half the national total, and compared to most other industrialised countries South Africa has a high in_dustrial energy intensity, thus necessitating improved industrial energy management. The malt brewing industry was chosen as a case study industry to illustrate the potential for improved energy management in industry. Ohlsson's brewery in Cape Town was analysed in detail and energy management improvements identified for that brewery were ·expanded to include the malt brewing industry in general, by comparing Ohlsson's brewery to other breweries in South Africa. It was found that energy requirements at Ohlsson's Brewery could be reduced by 12-20%, by the implementation of economically feasible energy management schemes. However, mainly because of discrepancies in coal prices between Ohlsson's Brewery and most other breweries in South Africa, energy requirements for the brewing industry in general can be reduced by 7-13%. This translates to be a monetary saving of R242 000-R486 000/month, which is evenly spread between coal, electricity, and maximum demand savings. No single large energy saving scheme was identified, but the potential. savings are due to a number of schemes. The potential energy savings identified in this study exclude the savings as a result of the implementation of process sensitive schemes, which were considered beyond the scope of this study. Nevertheless some process sensitive schemes, associated with boiling in the brewhouse, could result in substantial savings. The energy usage target identified for South African breweries is higher than current energy requiiements for breweries in the Britain and Germany when climatic and operational constraints are taken into account. This is because Britain and Germany have higher energy costs relative to production costs, government incentive schemes for reducing energy usage, and more stringent environmental legislation often necessitating the recovery of brewhouse vapours.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa has developed a significantly large number of highly successful global firms relative to its economy size – as evidenced by the market capitalisation of the South African stock exchange representing more than 180% of the country’s gross domestic product, and its inclusion in the BRICS nations of leading emerging national economies. Whilst some of this success has been documented, the author found no evidence of the application of internationalisation theory to South African firms, whilst other emerging market research has yielded results that challenged early theoretical underpinnings and added value to a further understanding of internationalisation behaviour and motivation.
SABMiller is the second largest brewer in the world and originated in South Africa. A great part of their success has been attributed to the culture and history of the organisation within its home market. The aim of this research report was therefore to uncover the drivers, strategies and critical success factors of SABMiller’s internationalisation move. Their motivations, enablers and modes of entry employed were further compared to extant literature in order to determine which, if any, theories are best suited to describe their process of internationalisation.
This research report made use of a holistic, single, qualitative case study of SABMiller. Primary and secondary source data were collected in the form of semi-structured interviews conducted with 29 current and former senior managers of SABMiller or their investment partners, all of whom were involved in some degree with the organisation’s internationalisation. The individuals interviewed related experience pertaining to particular cross-sectional time-periods within SABMiller’s internationalisation process. Data were then examined using thematic analysis and compared to theories posited in literature on the subject.
It was found that whilst extant literature on internationalisation provides useful, broad frameworks within which to analyse the paths followed by an organisation, a more holistic regard of the body of literature is recommended, particularly in analysing emerging-market multi-national enterprises (EM MNE) whose history and culture play a significant role in determining internationalisation behaviour.
The role of SABMiller’s South African home culture as a differentiator, as well as the development of a deep talent pool in enabling rapid expansion, was telling in their success. Operating excellence was a competitive advantage in the majority of markets they entered, whilst their in-house mergers and acquisitions (M&A) competence, coupled with a distinctive partnering ability, demonstrated clearly the advantage of building and maintaining strong relationships and network positions when internationalising.
SABMiller’s initial expansion sought to counter the threat of becoming a takeover target in their own right, as well as seeking new markets that were both affordable and could match the relative competitive advantages they had developed. As the company grew, their motivations expanded to a portfolio consideration of balancing risk and currency exposure in emerging markets, with more stable profit pool participation in developed markets.
In entering new markets, SABMiller utilised a beachhead approach whereby their main aim was to secure entry to a desired market from which they would be able to expand further – through either organic market share gain, increased ownership of their joint ventures, or further acquisitions within the market.
Firms engaging in foreign expansion for the first time need to understand clearly their relative advantages, to what they owe that endowment, and to what extent those advantages are sustainable in the face of global competition. Furthermore, locational advantages of a target country must be viewed relative to the competitive advantages they possess within the context of their product class, industry structure, nature of the knowledge to be transferred, and where the value generation lies within their structure.
Global government priorities and political stability are varied and can have an overriding impact on a firm’s choices and ability to internationalise effectively. Investment into local communities and alignment to priorities of social development and environmental preservation are becoming increasingly important and internationalising firms need to factor this into consideration in order to increase their chances of success.
The significant impact of governments on internationalisation is highlighted in the literature and is particularly evident in the case of SABMiller. With the added importance of investment towards societal goals, a study of the motivators and priorities of host governments may add value to firms in partnering effectively when internationalising, particularly within the realm of value chain development.
The author further recommends research be conducted on the impact of South African culture on internationalisation success – particularly where expatriation forms part of a firm’s strategy, whilst the role of leadership as a differentiator in successful internationalisation is an area not explored extensively within this study, nor was significant reference found in the literature. It was uncovered as a significant theme in SABMiller’s expansion, however, and thus is an area that may warrant further exploration.

Full textAbstract:
Heineken faces on-going business challenges due to the frequently increasing demand to attain more rigid production, sustainable, and financial targets. There are many factors which influence their ability to meet these targets within their production processes. One significant area which is often overlooked in industry is the limiting aspects within their cleaning in place (CIP) systems which includes; i) production down time, ii) cleaning costs, iii) effluent costs, and iv) quality control. This thesis details the work done in three projects completed by the research engineer for the EngD with Newcastle University in collaboration with Heineken. The aims of the projects were to benchmark the CIP costs within Bulmers fermentation area, to optimise the detergent cleaning phase of the CIP process for fermentation vessels, and to develop a predictive model to determine the theoretical end point of a cleaning process. The thesis also details business benefits which have been seen from the EngD. The research engineer has spent 3.5 years of the EngD working on site at Bulmers on the projects by i) collecting extensive data and site knowledge, ii) performing bench scale experiments, iii) analysis of results, and iv) on site verification of findings. The rest of the time was spent at Newcastle University for the taught section of the EngD, or performing pilot scale trials on the ZEAL pilot plant at Birmingham University. Based on the outcomes of the projects, the work done may be implemented to optimise the detergent CIP step, reduce chemical and water consumption, reduce effluent costs and reduce production down time. The predictive model may also be further developed for implementation on site to provide cost benefits in the same aspects of site cleaning. The overall implementation is predicted to save more than £2,000,000 per annum for Bulmers with the opportunity to be extended and provide comparable savings for all Heineken sites.

La ricerca di microrganismi fermentanti in grado di migliorare le proprietà microbiologiche, fisiche, chimiche, sensoriali e organolettiche delle bevande alcoliche fermentate come vino, birra, idromele, sidro, è considerata ad oggi un punto chiave per lo sviluppo del settore.
Negli ultimi anni, l'aumento della domanda al consumo di nuove bevande fermentate ha causato un enorme bisogno di tecnologie di produzione innovative al fine di ottenere diverse tipologie di prodotti caratterizzati da proprietà sensoriali peculiari. Per raggiungere tale obiettivo, l’impiego di nuovi microrganismi, sia fermentanti che non fermentanti, in grado di conferire al prodotto caratteristiche organolettiche peculiari ed uniche, può rappresentare una valida alternativa ai classici ceppi attualmente in commercio. Il settore vitivinicolo-enologico risulta quello in cui la ricerca ha sviluppato conoscenze sufficienti ad applicare nuove specie e nuovi ceppi di lieviti su scala industriale. La ricerca di lieviti non convenzionali applicabili alle bevande alcoliche che nell’Europa meridionale sono considerate secondarie rispetto al vino, ovvero birra, sidro ed idromele, risulta essere ancora poco investigata, essendo scarsi gli studi disponibili sulla fermentazione di queste bevande. In particolare, il settore birrario sta riscoprendo un rinnovato interesse nei confronti di lieviti isolati da matrici territoriali, considerati responsabili del miglioramento e della creazione di bouquet particolari, che consentono di ottenere produzioni legate al territorio e differenziate su un mercato in forte espansione.
Analogamente alla produzione di birra artigianale, la produzione di idromele sta attualmente vivendo un interesse a livello amatoriale e professionale in tutto il mondo. Sebbene non sia una bevanda molto popolare, il suo consumo in Europa è in costante crescita. Anche in questo settore la letteratura scientifica risulta limitata, specialmente in ambito microbiologico, dato che per condurre le fermentazioni alcoliche sono spesso usati ceppi di S. cerevisiae di origine enologica. Diversamente dal mosto d’uva, il mosto-miele risulta carente in fattori nutrizionali che limitano la crescita microbica. Per tale motivo, la ricerca di lieviti appropriati in grado di crescere e fermentare queste matrici risulta essere un punto cruciale per mantenere un elevato standard qualitativo di questa bevanda.
Sulla base di queste premesse, durante il triennio di Dottorato di ricerca è stata condotta uno studio inerente: l’ecologia microbica di matrici zuccherine; l’isolamento, la caratterizzazione genotipica e tecnologica di lieviti, sia Saccharomyces che non-Saccharomyces; la loro applicazione, sia singolarmente che in combinazione, durante le fermentazioni sperimentali di mosto di birra e mosto-miele; la valutazione della cinetica di fermentazione, metaboliti secondari, composti organici volatili ed analisi sensoriale dei prodotti ottenuti.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the British beer-brewing industry around 1800 as a case study exploring current themes in the history of science and technology: the imposition of reliable standards, the use of instruments and quantities, and the nature of industrial growth. I begin by addressing Michael Combrune, author of the first thermometric brewing account, showing the influence of Boerhaavian fermentation theory and the eighteenth-century agenda for "commercial chemistry" on his work: Combrune's fellow brewers, however, did not generally rely on the chemical scheme of management he had established, developing instead highly localised thermometric operations which did not challenge established understandings. Next, I consider the determination of beer strength, focusing here on the brewer John Richardson's innovation of the saccharometer, a gravimetric philosophical instrument. I show how Richardson presented both the device and the quantity in which it was scaled, later termed the `brewer's pound, ' as offering brewery-specific advantages, in order to ensure its acceptance whilst at the same time denying its roots in the disputatious field of spirits hydrometry. Richardson did not achieve his wider goal of monopolist control over the device, but his project of saccharometric determination was widely taken up, contributing to a significant change in the composition of beer, as brewers moved from using traditional brown- malts to the saccharometrically preferable pales. This development is then reviewed in the context of an analysis of the identity of London porter, the staple brown beer of London: I investigate the relationship of porter's identity to the uniquely vast and industrialised plants which produced it. Finally, I highlight the ambiguous nature of appeals to `science' or `chemistry' before 1830 by discussing the widespread contemporary panic over adulteration, popularly assumed to be practised by those who associated with chemists and did not pursue a `traditional' approach to brewing. This controversy was settled, I contend, only with the later development of a common laboratory-analytical context between brewers, pharmacists and public analysts who were able to redefine the concept of adulteration itself.

Full textAbstract:
The English brewing trade continues to be of social and economic significance having played an important cultural role well into the 21st century. It was, albeit it in 18th century London, initially at the forefront of the British Industrial Revolution. This required unprecedented levels of capital investment to finance the porter breweries that proved highly profitable and created long lasting brewing family dynasties such as Whitbread. This pattern was replicated in provincial 19th century England supported by an effective transport infrastructure, which led to the formation of national companies such as Bass Ratcliffe and Gretton at Burton upon Trent Staffordshire. Although the brewing sector has been covered in several trade and individual brewing company narrative histories the role of brewery management and particularly the role of accounting in the management process has remained a `mystery' (Gourvish and Wilson 1994: 397). The brewery accounting agenda has also been absent from the accounting history debates without any substantive academic work having been devoted to this important industry. The thesis has been constructed within a disciplinary framework, which has been derived from the work of the French philosopher and historian of thought Michel Foucault (1977), and developed further by the leading Foucauldian accounting historians Hoskin (1993), Hoskin and Macve (1986) and Loft (1986). Modern discipline is perceived as a duality of knowledge and power, which is exercised through disciplinary processes whereby performance and behaviour is conditioned by strategies of power. This becomes an omnipresent web of power relations which are the micro-physics of power within which Foucauldian accounting historians include the accounting discipline. This disciplinary approach is used here to explore accounting as an historical process in the English brewing industry from 1700 until 1939 as a management tool in the decision making process. Arguably this disciplinary approach will provide a body of historical accounting knowledge where none currently exists and also examine the robustness of the Foucauldian paradigm within this particular industrial context. It will be shown that this approach unsuccessfully explains accountings role within the English brewing industry between 1700 and 1939.

Full textAbstract:
A large part of the empirical work on differentiated products markets has focused on
demand estimation and the pricing behavior of firms. These two themes are key inputs
in important applications such as the merging of two firms or the introduction of new
products. The validity of inferences, therefore, depends on accurate demand estimates
and sound assumptions about the pricing behavior of firms. This dissertation makes
a contribution to this literature in two ways. First, it adds to previous techniques of
estimating demand for differentiated products. Second, it extends previous analyses of
pricing behavior to models of price leadership that, while important, have received limited
attention. The investigation focuses on the U.S. brewing industry, where price leadership
appears to be an important type of firm behavior.
The analysis is conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the recent Distance Metric
(DM) method devised by Pinkse, Slade and Brett is used to estimate the demand for 64
brands of beer in 58 major metropolitan areas of the United States. This study adds to
previous applications of the DM method (Pinkse and Slade; Slade 2004) by employing a
demand specification that is more flexible and also by estimating advertising substitution
coefficients for numerous beer brands.
In the second stage, different pricing models are compared and ranked by exploiting
the exogenous change in the federal excise tax of 1991. Demand estimates of the first
stage are used to compute the implied marginal costs for the different models of pricing
behavior prior to the tax increase. Then, the tax increase is added to the these pre-tax
increase marginal costs, and equilibrium prices for all brands are simulated for each model
of pricing behavior. These "predicted" prices are then compared to actual prices for model
assessment.
Results indicate that Bertrand-Nash predicts the pricing behavior of firms more closely
than other models, although Stackelberg leadership yields results that are not substanitally
different from the Bertrand-Nash model. Nevertheless, Bertrand-Nash tends to
under-predict prices of more price-elastic brands and to over-predict prices of less price-
elastic brands. An implication of this result is that Anheuser-Busch could exert more
market power by increasing the price of its highly inelastic brands, especially Budweiser.
Overall, actual price movements as a result of the tax increase tend to be more similar
across brands than predicted by any of the models considered. While this pattern is not
inconsistent with leadership behavior, leadership models considered in this dissertation
do not conform with this pattern.<br>Ph. D.

The liquor market is consider-ably influenced by government legislation and the state of the economy, hence companies operating within the liquor market are challenged with improving productivity in a changing environment. In order to facilitate productivity improvement, sales and production requirements need to be ascertained. The objective of this thesis is to design personal computer- based sales forecasting planning system that will aid a brewery productivity and minimise costs, through an integrated and production to maximise an ability to accurately forecast beer sales and translate such forecasts into efficient production plans. Fundamental to ensuring that the optimum production scenario is achieved is the need to generate a number of production scenarios for comparative purposes. To this end, the sales forecasting and production planning systems must be fully integrated, thereby allowing for the efficient generation of "what if" type analyses.

Financialisation has been understood in varying ways from different disciplinary perspectives. Developing a political economy approach concerned with the geographical and institutional variegation of national capitalisms, this thesis aims to provide a more finely grained, geographically sensitive understanding of financialisation which more thoroughly appreciates the constitutive roles of space and place. Taking the dramatic reductions in the number of pubs in Britain and Germany as the entry point, the empirical focus seeks to explain the roles of financialisation in the pubs business at both national and sub-national scales. The changing role and closures of pubs will be utilised to explain how the processes of financialisation are reorienting economic interests, transforming corporate forms, enrolling an increasing number and widening set of actors into the global financial system, and impacting the experience of an economically and socially significant sector of the economy. The international comparison serves to explain how while the processes of financialisation maintain certain general characteristics they are unfolding in geographically differentiated and uneven ways shaped by the institutional configurations of variegations of capitalism. Whilst exhibiting core constituents and common underlying tendencies, it will be argued that the spatially and temporally variegated phenomena of financialisation is enacted, mediated and resisted by geographically grounded actors and institutions.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the development of the “macro” and “craft” sectors of the brewing industry. After a comprehensive understanding of the history of beer, the focus segues into the economic development of the industry – including macro and microbrewery concentration, strategy analysis, and the recent emergence of craft breweries. Finally, two data sets are analyzed. The first examines overall industry trends against factors of horizontal differentiation, while the second observes how certain characteristics of an individual beer drinker indicate the degree to which their taste in / preference for beer has changed over the last five years.
Results show that with the diminishment of homogeneity (via quality of ingredients and cultural shifts), craft breweries emerged. Furthermore, traits such as the quality of a beer drunk and the number of beers drunk a week are strong indicators that an individual beer drinker’s taste for beer has changed in the last five years. These findings, supported by earlier industry observations, suggest that craft breweries will continue to acquire a larger share of the American brewing industry.

Full textAbstract:
Breweries generate extensive by-products particularly spent grain, slurry and yeast. Much of the brewery spent grain (BSG) from large breweries is processed on a large scale for animal feed because of its high protein and fibre content. Bulk processing is economic and provides a useful income to the large brewery. Grain from small, local breweries is delivered intermittently in smaller volumes. Such use is much less economic and may incur losses if not carefully assessed for transport costs. The main aim of this research is to provide an analysis of using food by- products in agriculture with specific focus on spent grains from beverage production. This aim is investigated using a survey addressed to UK breweries. This survey produced a range of data regarding spent grain production, collection methods, vehicles size, average load, time of loading and unloading, etc. The data allowed the breweries to be grouped into three sizes, small, medium and large according to the scale of production of BSG. In order to achieve the research objectives, three models were applied; namely spent grain costing model (SGCM), Linear regression and Co-product Optimizer Decision Evaluator model (Cattle CODE). In addition, initial experiments were conducted to investigate alternative uses for wet brewery spent grain (WBSG) particularly soil fertilization. The SGCM model revealed that the majority of vehicles used to transport WBSG from three different sizes of brewery (small, medium and large) to farms were between 1 to 6 tonne loading capacity and the average distance from these breweries to farms was 5 miles. Data analyses were conducted by three vehicles classes and they were categorized in terms of loading capacity 1 tonne, 3 tonnes and up to 6 tonnes. This analysis was conducted to determine the average cost of transporting WBSG from breweries to farms. The results indicated that the average transport cost per tonne of WBSG for vehicle with the sizes of 1 tonne, 3 tonne and 6 tonnes were £ 10.11, £5.20 and £3.27 respectively. Linear regression based on SGCM model results was used to investigate the relationship between the distance between the three sizes of brewery and farms, and the average transport cost per tonne loaded of WBSG using three sizes of vehicle (vehicle 1, vehicle 2 and vehicle 3). The results indicated that the estimated average transport cost per tonne loaded of WBSG rises by £1.99, £1.31 and £0.45 per one mile increase in the distance for the three sizes of vehicle respectively. The Cattle CODE model results indicated that with WBSG available at £0 per tonne the collection system had a small but clear impact on the value of the grains with WBSG from medium and large breweries giving higher returns than WBSG from smaller breweries. At a maximal substitution rate to cattle feed of 50% this difference is around £28 per head of cattle. With the profitability of cattle being so low this difference may make a considerable impact on the viability of small scale cattle production. Primary experiments were conducted to investigate alternative uses for wet brewers spent grains WBSG as agents to improve soil fertilization. These experiments were conducted to assess alternative agricultural uses of spent grains and were focused on assessing the effect of grains on plant growth using cabbage, lettuce, radish and leek. The experimental results showed that in most cases the WBSG produces a clear effect on growth at the 40% addition level. This is most evident for cabbage wet weight and dry weight which increased by up to 70% compared to control plants. A similar pattern is suggested for leek wet and dry weight but is clearly not so for radish where the 10% WBSG level has most effect. These differences may allow specific recommendations of use to be developed to allow optimal application of WBSG.

Full textAbstract:
Diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) is an important flavour active, oxidative compound that has significant impact on cellular health as well as financial impact in industrial fermentations. The presence of diacetyl in certain fermented beverages, such as beer, results in an unpleasant butterscotch-like flavour and its concentration needs to be reduced by yeast to below the taste threshold prior to filtration and packaging. This results in significant process inefficiency. Furthermore, diacetyl negatively impacts cellular health and has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases and general cell aging amongst others. The reduction of this compound is therefore essential for cellular health.<br>Several yeast cell enzymatic mechanisms responsible for diacetyl reduction were identified and characterised, including Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) isoforms and D-Arabinose Dehydrogenase (ARA1). OYE isoforms displayed different micromolar affinities and catalytic turnover rates for diacetyl and catalysed diacetyl reduction in a biphasic manner. ARA1 catalysed diacetyl reduction in a monophasic manner with a millimolar Michaelis constant.<br>Knowledge gained in these studies was applied in investigations of diacetyl production and reduction in industrial brewing operations and the enzymatic systems further exploited for the development of a novel enzyme based assay to determine diacetyl concentrations in beer samples. Concentrations as low as 0.2 muM were detectable with high repeatability.

Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree
Master of Technology: Public Relations Management
in the Faculty of Informatics and Design
at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology
2013<br>This study investigated how the KickStart project, a flagship project of Kgalagadi Breweries Limited (KBL), has contributed to KBL’s reputation. The research sought to understand the aims of the project and to examine whether KickStart’s objectives are aligned to KBL goals. It also discusses stakeholder engagement and youth perceptions about the project, paying attention to the ways these factors seamlessly contribute to KBL’s reputation. The study was framed around the epistemological assumption that the corporate social responsibility (CSR) of major companies is essential for addressing social problems within local communities and for building mutual beneficial relationships. However, these companies often exclude communities in their CSR programmes, or the programmes fail to meet the needs and expectations of the communities. These factors often impact negatively on the image and reputation of the companies involved.
This is a case-study of the KBL project-KickStart and uses a qualitative methodology to glean empirical data. The research methods include a questionnaire and interviews administered to 16 participants selected from KBL, Botswana National Youth Council, the Department of Youth, and youth who have received financial assistance from KickStart. A questionnaire were also administered to another youth group that received financial support under the Youth Development Fund, managed by the Department of Youth. An analysis of documents such as media reports and the Sechaba Breweries Holdings Limited past annual reports were made. Observations were also made during visits to youth businesses while the questionnaires.
The literature on theories of CSR and the responsibilities of business provided the conceptual and theoretical framework for this research. This body of knowledge attempted to tease out the main responsibilities of business, namely economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities and bring them to bear on the main focus of the project. Stakeholder theory provided the main theoretical thrust for this study because it highlights the multiple relationships that a company has with business partners, employees, government, suppliers, consumers, and communities, and that they all have expectations in terms of how a company should behave, and dictate
what acceptable behaviour is. The value of involving stakeholders in CSR programmes will enhance a company’s reputation if communities are happy with the programmes; they will buy the goods and services procured by the company and recommend the company to others, employees will be motivated, and the company’s productivity levels will increase thus increasing profit margins. Suppliers will be happy to do business with the company. Businesses, to fulfil their mandates, enter into several relationships with key stakeholders who are prioritised according to their power, legitimacy, and the urgency of the issues at hand.
Key findings from the study are that the aim of the KickStart is to empower youth to manage sustainable projects and create employment to improve the well-being of communities. KickStart is a flagship CSR programme of KBL, opening opportunities for the youth through development of their entrepreneurship skills. Its objectives are to support the government to address unemployment among the youth and facilitate sustainable economic development. The youth perceive KickStart as a good project; it offers them financial support, business management training, and a year’s mentorship to sustain their businesses. They acknowledge the contribution KickStart makes to uplift their lives and identify with the KBL brand, which positively reflects KBL as a good company.
Stakeholders are important; they must be involved in CSR programmes and their concerns and issues should be considered for the success of the programmes. KBL has limited its stakeholder engagement to internal stakeholders namely, the trustees and the project manager, and externally the media and judges. Collaboration with the youth organisations will give credibility to KickStart whose target audience is the youth.
While acknowledging limited stakeholder engagement, the CSR implementation framework is recommended for KBL to streamline and prioritise key issues around the high unemployment among the youth, identify key players to be involved, and specify what their contributions should be in addressing the problem.

Full textAbstract:
This work covers a reassessment of the 'Hot Break'
separation problem by a mechanical engineer from outside the
brewing industry. The solid-liquid separation problem was
therefore investigated without prior knowledge of
constraints or current practices.
During the brewing of beer an unwanted, insoluble
precipitate, 'trub' is formed, reported to have undesirable
effects on the finished beer quality.
The existing equipment, 'whirlpool' separators, designed to
eliminate this 'trub' performed poorly, allowing much of the
precipitate to be carried over to subsequent processes.
To remedy the problem, a program to either:
1. design suitable replacement separators or;
2 • modify existing separators to enhance their
performance,
was pursued.
To evaluate possible alternative separators determination of
the relevant physical (solid, liquid) properties,
measurement of the process parameters at peak production,
and review of the chemical constraints was necessary.
Performance of the current whirlpool separators was
ascertained to establish the extent of the ~xisting problem.
Existing efficiencies set a benchmark for comparison against
proposed alternatives.
Through exhaustiv~ literature review, consultive advice, a
series of experiments and rig testing, an extensive range of
separation techniques was evaluated, A review of over
forty-five reports on whirlpool performance and design
practices, the majority of which being the basis of doctoral dissertations, combined with the evaluation of a third
whirlpool at Milton Brewery revealed whirlpools to be the
most suitable and logical choice.
It seemed that the inherent problems in whirlpool design
stem from the haphazard approach adopted by the brewing
industry. To redress this problem an exp~rimental program
to optimize whirlpool tank geometry and operation was
initiated. Both experimental and hardware design were
fundamentally different to all previous endeavors to
establish whirlpool design guidelines. A pilot plant was
designed and commissioned such that direct measurement of
the 'whirlpool' response independent of other secondary
effects was possible.
The experimental program produced · over two hundred
comparative whirlpool indices over a range of geometric and
operational configurations. These suggested that whirlpool
performance could be optimised in shallow vessels using low
inlet velocities.
Finally, the need for secondary separators to be used in
conjunction with whirlpool tanks would diminish with
improved primary separation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a study of the challenge of the global big business revolution and the catch-up of large firms in relation to the Chinese brewing industry. Case studies on the global and the Chinese brewing industries, as well as Tsingtao Brewery and Yanjing Brewery, are conducted to study the topic. The research finds global giant brewers possess substantial competitive advantages. The current era has witnessed unprecedented global dominance by giant brewers from advanced economies. It is argued that compared with global giants, large indigenous brewers in China are at a disadvantage although they have made significant efforts to catch up. They are ambitious to lead the domestic consolidation and to go global. The research argues their burning issue is not going global, but rather securing the backyard in the face of aggressive foreign penetration. The research holds that the impacts of the increasingly popular strategic alliance between large indigenous brewers and global giants are more far-reaching that at first sight may appear to be the case. The alliance may impede instead of speeding up the catch-up process in that large indigenous firms run a huge risk of becoming foreign giants’ <i>de facto</i> subsidiaries. The research holds that a free market approach does not benefit indigenous large brewers’ catch-up, and calls for continuous state intervention. Lessening the state intervention has huge negative impacts on large indigenous brewers. The case of the brewing industry suggests that if the Chinese government fails to continuously facilitate large indigenous firms’ catch-up, many of the endeavours that it has made through tailored industrial policies during the past few decades may go to ruin. The research provides strategy implications for large Chinese entrepreneurs in reaction to the severe global competition and offers policy implications for large multinational firms’ cooperation, and competition with large Chinese firms.

Full textAbstract:
No matter how receptive or unreceptive an individual or a company is to the arrival of the age of technology, this phenomenon of change cannot be overlooked in the competitive global village. Companies must respond and change if they wish to survive into the next century. The results and testing of the hypotheses in chapters four and five clearly indicate that there is a need for a structured Total Quality Management (TQM) system in the East London Depot, of South African Breweries (SAB). The vision of the company states that they aim to be the “benchmark of South African industry and the brewing world”. The mission of the company states that they wish to provide their consumers with the finest quality malt beverages, brewed and marketed by world - class people in a socially responsible and innovative manner. Two of the core values of the company are: • Customer service and consumer focus • Innovation and quality (http://Beernet) Taking the afore mentioned as a guide line, it is evident that although there is a need for a structured TQM system at the East London Depot, there are key focus areas to concentrate on for the program to be successful. The main focus area will be to change the perception of the staff with regards to doing things right the first time. Customer service is very important and should be understood by all. A competent person should be tasked with the implementation of the system. This person should then manage the system and ensure that the staff training and maintenance of documented procedures are adhered to. A TQM committee must also be established in order to perform the necessary audits. As mentioned in chapter one, the aim of the depot management is to improve on it’s current national ranking. A structured TQM program will make a huge contribution towards achieving the desired result. This will result in better results and achievement of goals. With this in mind this paper aims to investigate the feasibility of establishing a T Q M system at the East London Depot of SAB.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (D. Tech.) -- Central University of Technology, Free State, 2008<br>The purpose of this study was to evaluate brewing and consumption practices and to screen for micro-organisms and mycotoxins associated with traditional beer produced and consumed in the marginal urban settlements of the city of Kimberley in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. The survey study revealed that traditional beer is no longer being brewed for traditional purposes only, as was the case in the past, but rather for commercial gain. Both brewers and consumers, however, appeared to be largely unaware of disease-causing micro-organisms present on the hands or bodies of handlers that can be transferred to the beverage during the handling process, and were seemingly not conversant with regard to the effects of hazardous ingredients sometimes incorporated during the brewing process. Unemployment and a lack of education emerged as pivotal factors related to the production of traditional beer and the ignorance of the associated safety thereof. The survey further indicated that although facilities such as the availability of potable water (taps in yards) and flushing toilets were sometimes in place, other facilities such as basins with hot running water were often not available.
In commercially produced and homebrewed traditional beer the mean counts for total coliforms and Staphylococcus spp. were circa 105 cfu.ml-1 whereas the TVC (Total Viable Counts) and total fungi counts were 106 and 107 cfu.ml-1 respectively. The total coliforms and Staphylococcus spp. counts for homebrewed traditional beer were approximately one log-phase higher than the commercial version. The counts in the homebrewed beer probably originated from contamination during handling, while in the commercial product contamination originated either in the raw ingredients or during postprocessing and consumption. Apart from staphylococci, considerable numbers of total coliforms indicating faecal contamination were noted. A rapid, easy, reliable and accurate technique that could be used to quantify the level of mycotoxins (deoxynivalenol and citrinin) in the beer was developed through validation of the ELISA Ridascreen methodology. Using this method, the deoxynivalenol (DON) level in the beer samples was found to exceed the recommended levels suggested by the European Union, while citrinin levels in the samples varied between 35.6 ppb and 942.2 ppb. In the case of citrinin there were statistically significant differences between spring, summer and winter samples, confirming the seasonal impact on fungal growth and consequent mycotoxin production. An R2-value of 0.409 was noted between DON and citrinin, indicating a weak positive association.
Finally, an awareness programme in the format of a poster with accompanying subscripts was developed to address issues of safety and hygiene of traditional beer in the study area. The poster utilises animatedstyle colour images of selected practices that need to be addressed, accompanied by slogans summarising the particular image in English, Afrikaans and Setswana. It is envisaged that, as part of a comprehensive awareness programme, the poster will contribute greatly to the quality, safety and promotion of traditional beer in the area.

This research study aimed to provide the South African beer industry and their advertising representative with insights into 18-28-year-olds’ perceptions of the communicated messaged in beer advertisements. This included the use of social and cultural references to attract their attention and the suggestions made by the advertisements about the consumption of beer in certain contexts. This research study aimed to determine the selected sample’s (NMMU students) perceptions of four South African Breweries beer brands, namely Castle Lager, Castle Lite, Carling Black Label and Hansa Pilsener, in terms of their use of references to social and cultural identity of males and females in South Africa within their television advertisements. The survey questionnaire helped determine what the selected sample’s perceptions were of each advertisement, and whether they fully understood the desired communicated message. It also helped to understand whether each advertisement captured their attention. A semiotic analysis of each advertisement was conducted to deconstruct the advertisements and to determine if they do contain elements of social and cultural identity in an attempt to sell products to their target audiences, or to affect the perceptions of the brand and drinking beer in general. This was achieved by examining the signs and imagery in each advertisement, looking specifically at the representamen, interpretant and object using Pierce’s model of a sign.<br>Hierdie navorsingstudie is daarop gemik om die Suid-Afrikaanse bierbedryf en sy adverteerders ‘n beter begrip te gee van verbruikers tussen die ouderdomme van 18-28, se waarnemings van die boodskappe in bieradvertensies. Dit sluit in die gebruik van sosiale en kulturele verwysings, wat veronderstel is om die verbruikers se aandag te trek, asook die suggesties wat deur die advertensies gemaak word met betrekking tot die verbruik van bier in ‘n bepaalde konteks. Die studie moes ook die gekose monster (“selected sample”), nl. die NMMU-student se persepsies bepaal van vier handelsname van die South African Breweries, naamlik Castle Lager, Castle Lite, Carling Black Label en Hansa Pilsener, en in watter mate daar in bieradvertensies oor die televisie verwys word na die sosiale en kulturele identiteit van Suid-Afrikaanse mans en vroue. Die meningspeiling het die groep se waarnemings van elke advertensie, asook of die boodskap wat gekommunikeer is ten volle verstaan word, ondersoek. Die vraelys kon ook vasstel of die advertensies hulle aandag getrek het. ‘n Semiotiese ontleding van elke advertensie is gedoen, om die advertensies te dekodeer en sodoende vas te stel of die adverteerders elemente van sosiale en kulturele identiteit gebruik het om hul produkte aan die teikenmarkte te verkoop, of om die idees rondom die handelsnaam en bier oor die algemeen te beïnvloed. Aan die hand van Peirce se semiotiese model is die tekens en beelde in elke advertensie bestudeer.

Full textAbstract:
From 1858 to 1917, Vancouver Island's brewing industry prospered in a community that, especially before the coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1886, was small and relatively isolated. Nevertheless, the Island industry paralleled in many ways its North-American counterpart, particularly in technological change, business practice and the ethnicity of the individuals who shaped it. In areas such as product preference, unionization and export opportunities, however, the industry was at odds with much of the continent. These conclusions result from attempts to answer such key questions as: what was the overall pattern of growth and development of the Island industry? What market factors, such as transportation and economic cycles, shaped and perhaps controlled it? What were the characteristics of the individuals who founded the many breweries? Was the Island industry as technologically advanced as elsewhere? What role did unionism and Prohibition play in the development of the industry in the twentieth century? These questions have been answered in varying degrees. Unfortunately, the industry left few primary documents with which to reconstruct its history. Consequently, much reliance was placed on the records of other agencies, mainly those of government which, while comprehensive in some areas, are often incomplete or contradictory in others. Such information was augmented from a variety of sources, ranging from newspapers to individuals, who themselves or through their families, have a connection to the industry. The thesis has been placed, where possible, against several sophisticated studies of the brewing industry in Great Britain and the United States. Sadly, with the exception of Martin Ian Bowering's Masters thesis on "The Art and Mystery of Brewing in the Nineteenth Century Toronto," few studies exist for the Canadian industry. From time to time, therefore, interpretation rests on assumed parallels within the industry as a whole, most often within the North American context. Regardless of these drawbacks, this study of an overlooked aspect of Vancouver Island's industrial history, brewing, reveals that despite the Island's remoteness and small population the local production of beer was a viable economic activity for brewers and investors alike. While it may be argued that this was because the permanent populace, augmented by the Imperial Armed Forces, represented a captive market, the flexibility and resourcefulness of brewers in overcoming a variety of factors cannot be overlooked. This thesis demonstrates that it was primarily these personal characteristics that allowed brewers to meet the challenge presented by the vagaries of local and national economic cycles, imported beer, a growing dependence on outside sources for sophisticated machinery and raw ingredients and, finally, the push by large, national brewers and foreign investors to dominate the North American industry. In conclusion, recognition of the importance of change, and the flexibility needed to adopt it where warranted, was arguablythe most important trait of Island brewers--a trait that allowed the industry to keep pace with the rapid advances in technology and business practice witnessed in the latter half of the nineteenth century; and to take full advantage of the market presented by increasing consumption and changing consumer tastes away from ale to lager. In short, by the time Prohibition had become a fact of life in 1917, the local industry had moved from a largely unscientific, frontier activity to become fully integrated into the sophisticated, large-scale business world of the early twentieth century: an enterprise that demanded both financial acumen and scientific precision.<br>Graduate

Thesis (M.Arch. (Professional))--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, School of Architecture and Planning, 2016.<br>In Johannesburg, sociability and drinking culture have complex pasts. Beer, especially, is tied up in multiple significances: a prominent role in many traditional African cultures; later, co-opted as a means of control by South Africa’s former government; rising as a strong socially cohesive identifier in emerging popular culture; and now, turning a new face to a culture of experimentation and excellence in the craft of brewing with one foot in the realm of wine snobs, and connoisseurs.
I investigate my own family’s history of brewing in seventeenth century England as an introduction to a brief history of two important global, social drinking cultures – Mediterranean and Northern European – and apply this cultural lens to a reading of local, Johannesburg beer drinking.
Beer can be understood as a strong symbolic agent in the construction of imagined communities and the realisation of experiences in multiple simultaneities of space and time. I investigate these imagined realities, and interrogate the current disjuncture between the consumption and production of beer.
Finally, I propose a hybrid brewing facility as an architectural intervention in Booysens Reserve, a small industrial suburb in the south of Johannesburg, and look towards the unique conditions to explore, and opportunities for intervention which this part of the city, the intersection of multiple cultures, landscapes and industries, has to offer.<br>GR2017

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a model of the determination of excise tax rates by studying the
substantial variation in the state excise taxes in the U.S. brewing industry. Two
approaches are used. First, assuming that the government is only interested in the public
interest, a socially optimal tax rate is derived. The magnitude of the tax rate is
determined by the negative externalities of drinking behavior imposed on nondrinkers.
Second, a special interest group that engages in lobbying activity and makes campaign
contributions is introduced into the model. The government not only cares about the
welfare of the society, but is also concerned about the abundance of its campaign
contributions. The lobbying activity by the interest group causes the tax rate to deviate
from the social optimum. Data from the beer industry in 1992 and 1995 are employed in
the estimation. Instrumental variable techniques are used to deal with endogenous
consumption and heteroscedasticity. The estimation indicates that states with a
production capacity one barrel per person higher than the average state will have a beer
tax 20 cents per barrel lower than average. The paper provides evidence that the power
of interest group hampers the economic efficiency of the local tax system.<br>Graduation date: 1999
