FORECASTING
forecasting=> a prediction of food need for a ady or other specific period of time.
reasons:

historical data
=>

criteria for  selecting a forecasting method

CHAPTER 7 :RECEIVING, STORAGE AND INVENTORY

=> 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

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

-fresh fruit and vegetable : 40'F -45'F
- meat,poultry,dairy products, eggs: 32'F -40'F

INVENTORY RECORDS AND CONTROL
