Yakult Factory Visit
Written on: Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Time: 8:13 PM

On 22nd Sept, SCMC went to the one and only Yakult factory located at Senoko; everyone was excited about this fieldtrip. For some of us, it is the first time that we visited a factory or manufacturing area. The person who was conducting the tour was a Microbiologist with over 20 years of experience under his belt. He still managed to answer our queries regarding Supply Chain due to his vast experience with Yakult.





We were ushered to the classroom that they have especially for visitors to the factory. We were greeted with a bottle of Yakult and 2 handouts. He started off by giving us more insights on the running of the Yakult factory in Singapore. It was followed by a multimedia presentation on Yakult. He then explained with a flowchart the process required for the making of Yakult.

We were then given a tour around the factory to take a closer look at the processes that were required to prepare the Yakult drinks before it reaches us as consumers. All in all it was an eye-opening experience for all of us.








About Yakult

Yakult has a rich 74 year history since its beginning, with Japan being its country of origin and has now expanded its unique brand to 32 countries around the world. Yakult has been in Singapore for about 31 years.

Yakult ships out an average of 180,000 bottles of the cultured milk drink to different sources in Singapore each day.

With such massive quantities of Yakult bottles being shipped out everyday, it is essential to have a properly and carefully planned transporting system in place. About 60 trucks are used to deliver the 180,000 bottles of Yakult to different outlets in Singapore.
