The principles of lean manufacturing increasing efficiency,
reducing waste, lowering costs and improving control may be applied
to any industry. However, the food industry is unique, and creates
unique demands. The political, social and economic importance of
food is unrivalled by any other form of produce, as is the scrutiny
to which the manufacture of food is subjected. For the food
industry, lean manufacturing is not simply a cost-saving strategy,
but is directly linked to issues of sustainability, the
environment, ethics and public accountability. Handbook of Lean
Manufacturing in the Food Industry is a major new source of
information and ideas for those working in food manufacturing.
Offering a fresh and modern perspective on best practice, it points
the way to fewer breakdowns, reduced quality faults, improved
teamwork and increased profits. With a focus on operations
management and new process development, the book is accessible and
easy to read, and is complemented by a wealth of practical examples
drawn from industry. The author s conversational style and
questioning approach will be invaluable to food manufacturers who
are seeking solutions to fundamental issues. The book is directed
at those who are working in food manufacturing or the wider food
industry, particularly factory operations managers and training
teams who are looking for resources to help with lean manufacturing
implementations. Others in the supply chain, from producers to
retailers, will also find it invaluable. The book is a clear and
timely introduction for students and lecturers in food science and
technology who want to access the reality of lean manufacturing as
well as the theory.
