CHAPTER 7 :RECEIVING, STORAGE AND INVENTORY

HELLLO... YOU ALLL

Today I will continue with the next chapter, the next chapter is about receiving,storage and inventory.......
firstly I want to intro about what is the receiving.......    

RECEIVING

what is receiving??????
Receiving is about  food service  operation inspects product and takes legal possession of the product ordered.

A GOOD RECEIVING PROGRAM SHOULD INCLUDE:::::::::::

1) COORDINATION WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS
=> Purchasing,production and accounting are 3 key area need a will defined working relationship...
this is they are rotated purchasing,production

2) training for receiving personnel
=> this receiving should include  knowledge of food quality standards, written specifications and documentation procedures.
=> this personnel specifically allocated to and trained in proper receiving contribute to an efficient and effective  program.

3) facilities, equipment and sanitation
=>a well designed receiving area should be as close to the delivery docks storage as possible with easy access to the storage facilities of the operation.

4) scheduled hour for receiving
=> hour receiving should defined to avoid the busiest production time in the operation and  access the arrival of to many deliveries at the same time

5)security
=>security measure prevent theft and deliberate contamination a food and supplier
=>personnel should not have access to the receiving area

POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A POORLY PLAN RECEIVING PROGRAM INCLUDE:
-short weights
-substandard quality
-double billing, inflated price
-mislabeled merchandise
-inappropriate substitutions
-spoiled and damaged merchandise
-pilferage or theft
    * this is the act of stealing, usually in small quantities

THE RECEIVING PROCESS
the receiving process involves 5 key step :
 1) physically inspect delivery and check it against the purchase order.
2)inspect the delivery against the invoice.
3)accept an order only if all quantities and quality specification are met.
4)complete receiving record.
5)transfer goods to appropriate storage.


THIS ABOUT STORAGE
in the storage, there are 3 basic type of storage that must be maintained  and managed for maximum shelf life of products

1) DRY STORAGE
=> this is intended for nonperishable food that do not require refrigeration.
=>the food dry storage area are that it be dry,cool and ventilated

i)TEMPERATURE AND VENTILATION
=>that temperature not be over 70'F
=>
ii)STOREROOM ARRANGEMENT
=>food should be storage using the FIFO method

iii)REFRIGERATED AND FREEZER STORAGE
=>recommended temperatures:
-fresh fruit and vegetable : 40'F -45'F
- meat,poultry,dairy products, eggs: 32'F -40'F

INVENTORY RECORDS AND CONTROL
-receiving
-storeroom issues
-perpetual inventory
-physical inventory

CATERING SYSTEM


CHAPTER 2 : THE SYSTEM APPROACH

System approach is based on the idea that complex organization are made up to interdependent parts(subsystem) that interact to achieve common goal.


CLASSIFICATION OF FOOD SERVICES

The food service can divide into 3 major categories:
      Ø  Commercial  
      =>example: restaurants, supermarket, convenience store, delis (more to pastry & baking) , snack bars, and other retail food establishment. 
     Ø  Noncommercial: sometimes called institutional or on-site

=>example: business, educational, governmental, correctional, or other organization that operate their own foodservice. 
     Ø  Military
  This type of foodservice organization, a broad scope of service is offered. 
Ø  Scope of service is the number and type of business units offered by individual foodservice operation. 
=>for example: in the hospital the departments food and nutrition offer the patient meal and nutrition services.  
The system concept and approach 
Ø  A BRIEF HISTORY OF SYSTEMS THEORY
·         This included the scientific management theory, which put emphasis on efficient work performance. If all performed efficiently, the goals could be reached. 
·         The human relation movement found that social and psychological factor was important measure of employee satisfactions. 
Ø  A SYSTEMS MODEL 
·         CONTROL => the self-imposed plans and legal documents that effect the organization function. 
·         MANAGEMENT=> the integration and coordination of resources to achieve the desired objectives of the organization. 
·         MEMORY=>records of past performance that assist in improving future effectiveness. 
·         INPUTS=>resource such as money, material, time, and information required by system. 
·         OPERATION=>the work performed to transform inputs into outputs. 
·         OUTPUTS=> finish product and service of an organization. 
·         FEEDBACK=>information on how operation worked or failed, or how they should be changed or modified to restore equilibrium. 
 Ø  3 area of common use of this approach are as follow: 
·         System philosophy or thinking is a way of thinking about phenomena in term of the whole, the    part, and their interrelationships. 
·         System analysis is a method of problem solving or decision making. 
·         System management is the application of system theory to managing organization or          subsystem. 
TYPE OF FOODSERVICE SYSTEM 
These 4 types of foodservice system: 
Ø  Conventional (traditionally) 
·         Raw food are purchased, prepared on-site, and served soon after preparation. 
·         Typical users of the conventional system a smaller foodservice operations. 
·         For example: restaurant, schools, colleges, hospital and health care facilities.
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
ROTIONALE
  • Quality control
  •  Menu flexibility
  • Less freezer storage required

  • Stressful workday
  •  Difficulty in scheduling workers

  • Foods may be procured with limited amount of processing
  •  Conventional system demand skilled labor












Ø  Ready-prepare(cook/chill or cook /freeze)

·         Food is prepared on-site, then chilled or freezes and stored for reheating at a later time.
  • cook/chill method =>prepare and cooked by a conventional or other method,then quickly chiller for use at a later time.
  • cook/freeze method=>prepare and cooked by conventional or other method, then frozen for use at a later time
  • Rethermalized (chilled or frozen food are return to eating temperature)



  • a  blast chiller used to bring bulk food from cooking temperature to 37 F in 90 minute or less
















ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
ROTIONALE
  •  Reduction of “peaks and valleys” of workloads
  •  Reduction in labor cost
  •   Improved quality and quantity control
  • Need for large cold storage and freezer units
  •   Need for costly rethermalization equipment in some cases
  •  Reduced labor expenses
  •  Decreased need for skilled labor
  • Volume food procurement may decrease food cost

 Ø  Assembly/serve system

  • Also known as the “kitchenless kitchen“ fully prepare food are purchased, stored, assembled, heated and served.
  • example:7e

ADVANTAGE
DISADVANTAGE
ROTIONALE
  •  Labor savings
  •  Lower procurement costs
  •   Minimal equipment and space requirements

  •  Limited availability of desired menu items
  •  High cost of prepared foods
  •  Additional freezer space requirements
  • Concern over recycling or disposing of packaging material

  •  Assuming a lack of skilled labor and an available supply of highly processed foods, this system can be successful.


 ØCommissary (center production kitchen)

  • central production kitchen or food factory with centralized food purchasing and delivery to off-site facilities for final preparation.
  • typical user of this system are airline caterers, large city school system, franchised or chain restaurant organization that provide food for their various outlet and vending companies.
  • example for commissary :secret recipe.
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
ROTIONALE
  •  Large volume food purchasing reduces cost
  •   Effective and consistent quality control

  •   Many critical point where contamination of food can occur
  •  Specialized equipment and trucks are needed for food safety
  •  High cost of equipment and equipment maintenance

  • Accommodates remote service areas
