Summary
A food production management system utilizes minicomputers to automatically adjust recipe costs. This enables flexible weekly menu changes based on fluctuating food prices.
Area of Science:
- Food production management
- Agricultural economics
- Supply chain optimization
Background:
- Managing food costs in production is complex.
- Menu planning is often rigid.
- Fluctuating food prices impact profitability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a novel food production management system.
- To enable dynamic menu adjustments.
- To respond to market cost variations.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a minicomputer-based system.
- Development of a recipe recosting algorithm.
- Integration with weekly cost data.
Main Results:
- Standardized recipes are automatically recosted.
- Menus can be updated weekly.
- Adaptation to food cost fluctuations is achieved.
Conclusions:
- Minicomputer systems offer efficient food cost management.
- Dynamic menu planning enhances operational flexibility.
- This system aids in mitigating financial risks from cost volatility.
