The global sourcing of ingredients has created complex supply chains, significant management challenges, and additional regulatory compliance requirements. This has placed tremendous pressure on food manufacturers, many of whom lack the knowledge, concepts, techniques and procedures to comply with these increased requirements. Providing a roadmap for leveraging existing investments in food safety regulatory compliance into superior inventory management, this book explains how to implement Lean operating principals to determine what needs to be improved, in what sequence improvements must be addressed, how one improvement feeds another, and the prerequisites for each improvement.
