Description

Expected Inputs:
– [Food_Product_Type: e.g., Dairy products, Baked goods, Processed meats, Frozen meals, Beverages]
– [Key_Production_Stages: e.g., Raw material intake, Mixing/Batching, Cooking/Processing, Packaging, Quality Control, Cold Storage, Shipping]
– [Documentation_Reviewed: e.g., Production schedules, HACCP plans, Process flowcharts, QA checklists, Machine utilization logs]
– [Key_Metrics_to_Analyze: e.g., Cycle time per batch/unit, Throughput, Yield %, Waste %, Downtime, OEE, Temperature adherence, Cleaning cycles, Defect rate]

Results:
– A report summarizing process inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas for optimization.
– Detailed analysis of workflow sequences, task durations, and dependencies.
– Identification of root causes for delays, waste, or quality/safety issues.
– Recommendations for process re-engineering (e.g., lean manufacturing), automation, layout changes, or staff training.
– Projections of potential improvements in efficiency, cost, and food safety.
