Food

Food manufacturers will have their work cut out for them in the coming years. Amidst a backdrop of climate change and labour shortages, supply chains will continue to be disrupted. Companies are competing to develop and deliver new innovations in food production, storage, and distribution. Sustainability has now become a key pillar of the food industry.

Customer demand is also seeing a global shift towards increased health and environmental awareness. Examples include continued growth and demand for organic, non-genetically modified, and vegetarian foods, as well as a strong push for food manufacturers to reduce the amount of plastic packaging used across the food value chain.

Food companies must rise to the challenge of implementing these changes, while at the same time working to ensure:

Reduction of production costs

• • Cost of production
  • Ways of working
  • Hygiene control
  • Raw material acquisition
  • Manufacturing cycle time
  • Workforce qualification

Supply chain efficiency

• • Inventory control
  • Raw material standardisation

Commercial efficiency

• • Commercial strategy
  • Adequacy to the market

Food safety control

• • Monitoring systems
  • Data monitoring and analysis

Quality control

• • Compliance with norms and standards
