Here's how you can navigate supply chain disruptions by developing adaptability as a food scientist.

Establish relationships with multiple suppliers across different regions. Benefit: Reduces dependency on a single source and minimizes risk of disruption.

Je pense qu'il est important de cibler les matières premières critiques, et celles avec les plus gros volumes pour pouvoir diversifier les fournisseurs et ainsi assurer une potentielle défaillance de ceux-ci

Help create avenues for proper strategic planning, and efficient allocation of scarce resources in generating sustainable solutions on consistent and timely manner and thus, driving and sustaining growth process.

A weighted risk matrix considering Probability vrs Impact is what I would recommend and suits better for this case. You can have a risk matrix with Probability: High (15), Medium (10), Low (5), Unlikely (1) and Impact: High (15), Medium (10), Low (5), Insignificant (1). List each risk and assign them a grade, multiply Probabilty times Impact and higher values need your urgent attention. Hacer una matriz de riesgo Probabilidad vrs Impacto con pesos ponderados es lo mejor para estos casos y asignar una nota (score) a cada riesgo siendo esta nota el resultado de la multiplicación del peso de Probabilidad y el peso de Impacto (P x I). Las notas más altas demandan atención inmediata para encontrar soluciones.

Supply Chain Management is key to success in food manufacturing industry. KNOW your suppliers well during suppliers and ingredient risk assessment prior to approving is key component. What to consider during risk assessment for suppliers and ingredients along with how and when to conduct risk assessment. What should be included in Supplier Approval program and how often to do supplier evaluations of performance monitoring is key! Not to forget- supplier contingency plan and how to manage supplier database!

Foster strong, collaborative relationships with suppliers and partners. Benefit: Enhances communication and cooperation during crises, leading to more effective problem-solving.

In addition, working with local suppliers can minimize food fraud risk if supplier approval and assessment t of local suppliers is done diligently !

Promover relacionamentos saudáveis com clientes e fornecedores é crucial para o sucesso de qualquer negócio. A comunicação assertiva, transparente, educada e ética é a base para construir e manter essas relações. Compartilhamento de Informações: Mantenha os clientes e fornecedores informados sobre mudanças, desafios e avanços relevantes para o relacionamento. Honestidade: Seja honesto sobre as capacidades, limitações e status dos projetos ou produtos. Evite promessas que não possam ser cumpridas. Gerenciamento de Expectativas: Defina expectativas realistas desde o início e atualize-as conforme necessário.

Fostering collaborative relationship in the different value chain line is very paramount in ensuring sustainability and building a consistent service delivery system.

This should be planned for as part of the sop manual design and be flexible to allow the introduction of new, advanced, tested and profitable ideologies.

A inovação é o carro chefe de qualquer profissional atualmente, quando estava na faculdade em 2019 a 2020 fiz meu tcc baseado na Moringa oleifera uma planta pouco explorada no Brasil e com inúmeros benefícios, a importância da inovação de como implementar essa PAN”c na alimentação foi um desafio porque como era pouco conhecida então tinham basicamente 5 estudos daqui a respeito, entao eu fui atrás de saber se ela continha toxinas pro consumo humano, utilizei artemias salinas que são micro crustáceos, fiz o extrato da planta e alimentei esses animais com base a estudo da linha da morte, e o resultado foi ótimo poucos micro crustáceos morreram, o que era um excelente resultado, trazendo informações ao público local e inovação

Work with multiple suppliers are essential in current times, especially we are focusing sourcing locally. Understand the basic functional of the key ingredients ensure you are able to identify the correct suppliers with the correct product porfolio to meets your requirements.

Depender de um único fornecedor apresenta vários riscos significativos para uma empresa, incluindo interrupções na cadeia de suprimentos, aumentos de preços e qualidade. Monopólio do Fornecedor: O fornecedor pode aumentar os preços, sabendo que a empresa depende exclusivamente dele. Falta de Alternativas: A empresa tem menos capacidade de negociar melhorias na qualidade se depender de um único fornecedor. Controle de Qualidade: Se o fornecedor não mantiver padrões de qualidade consistentes, isso pode impactar negativamente o produto final Diversificar fornecedores, desenvolver parcerias estratégicas, monitorar o desempenho e planejar contingências são estratégias essenciais para mitigar esses riscos.

As a food scientist, you should be able to create your own building block of key functional ingredients for the recipes. Ensuring these ingredients are easy to handle in plants, require minimal special trucking requirement (ie ambient stable). Ideally these building block material can be moved easily between plants.

Implement sophisticated inventory management systems. Benefit: Ensures optimal stock levels and reduces the impact of supply delays.

Ser flexível de maneira proativa e desenvolver uma equipe versátil são aspectos cruciais para enfrentar desafios nos processos da linha de produção. Antecipar Mudanças Monitoramento Contínuo: A gestão precisa acompanhar as tendências do mercado e avanços tecnológicos que podem impactar seu negócio. Planejamento Contingencial: Desenvolva planos de contingência para diferentes cenários, permitindo que a equipe reaja rapidamente a mudanças imprevistas.

As Food Scientist, the experiences of using various ingredients are crucial and leveraging on the science knowledge and how ingredients function in the the recipes, it allows the Food Scientist to re-design the recipes and still maintain the final product consistency. Better still, in time of supply chain challenges, take this opportunity to develop a 2.0 version of your products, which taste better!

Design products with flexible ingredients that can be easily substituted. Benefit: Maintains production even if certain ingredients become unavailable.

The key to survival in the modern supply chain is having contingency. The days of single supplier relationships and not having options has gone. Itbis hugely important to resource your sourcing and technical teams well so they can handle the demands of a multi supplier based supply chain model

Avoir de bonnes relations avec les concurrents directs Alors l’idée nous est venue d’aller vers notre géant concurrent car nous avons de très bonnes relations malgré que sur les boissons gazeuses nous sommes concurrents. La direction s’est alors adressée au géant concurrent qui sans hésiter nous a accordé le prêt d’un chargement de charbon actif qui nous as permis de juguler notre perturbation qui a durée 4 jours d’arrêt de la production ce qui n’a pas heureusement jouer sur les ventes grâce à notre stock de produits finis
