The coffee industry is growing rapidly, particularly in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
First Pasha Coffee, a premium coffee producer in Oman, seeks to enhance its production efficiency while
maintaining product quality. This study analyzes the production process of First Pasha Coffee, identifying
key inefficiencies and proposing improvements using Six Sigma (DMAIC), Value Stream Mapping (VSM),
and Lean Manufacturing. The findings indicate that implementing automation in mixing, filling, and
packaging significantly enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and ensures product consistency. A financial
analysis demonstrates the feasibility of automation investments, showing a strong return on investment
(ROI). The study also explores sustainability initiatives to align with environmentally responsible coffee
production.
