acredito que uma boa introdu??o ao Lean e ao Lean Six Sigma é essencial em projetos, hoje em dia a formula ja se encontra em algum sistemas de projetos como padr?o a receita é a mesma.

Apps for inventory are a great tool, but you must remember the quality of the data going in directly affects the data coming out. Insure you have the best data .

In the food industry, tracking wastage is key for effectively managing inventory. The adage "what gets measured gets fixed" holds true here. By using something as simple as a journal and a weighing scale to track food wastage, even small restaurants or cafés can measure what is thrown away daily. Staff can take photos of wastage to see what consumers dislike or have a tendency to leave, and discuss anecdotes as well. This data allows for smarter purchasing and preparation decisions, and maybe even reduce portion sizes. All this will help significantly cut down on unnecessary waste and costs. No complicated technology is needed to begin this process.

On the fly changes to offerings via digital platforms allows for both effective use of existing inventory, but also innovation in your menu with new, on trend features on your menu with the adage of effective use of DOH inventory.

Suppliers aren't just producers – they're our supply partners! By openly sharing our stock and sell-through rates, we give them valuable insight to plan their production efficiently. This transparency can even lead to advantageous offers to boost our secondary sales. Neglecting this communication creates a ripple effect known as the bullwhip effect. Imagine a retailer slightly over-ordering due to minor sales fluctuations. This gets magnified upstream, causing manufacturers to overproduce in response. Suddenly, we're all stuck with excess inventory, risking spoilage and waste. By working closely with suppliers, we ensure a smooth flow of ingredients, receiving them just in time for use – minimising waste and maximising efficiency.

A suppliers goals & needs are not the same as the goals or needs of the bar/restaurant. Bifurcation of systems is not only a prudent business practice for this reason, but also forces a company to maintain a focus on par levels, product trends & waste problems. Issues that can often be overlooked when involving a third party.

Forecasting your menu allows for the best ordering practices, and tying your Forecasting to your on hand inventory can reduce waste, food costs, and protect against lost profits.

Para gerenciar o estoque de forma eficaz e reduzir o desperdício de alimentos, utilize sistemas de gest?o de estoque (SGE) para monitorar níveis e datas de validade, sensores IoT para controlar condi??es de armazenamento, e ferramentas de análise de dados para prever a demanda. Adote tecnologias como códigos de barras e RFID para rastreamento preciso, e aplicativos de gest?o de desperdício para doa??es ou vendas de alimentos próximos do vencimento. Melhore a comunica??o entre equipes e automatize processos repetitivos. Integre digitalmente com fornecedores para pedidos just-in-time, mantendo níveis ótimos de estoque e minimizando desperdícios.

If you do not have a forecasting system you can always revert to institutional knowledge. Over time you’ll see trends and patterns emerge in service and be able to gauge what you’ll need for service and what par level your inventory needs to be at. Even with a forecasting system it’s good to understand the speed of movement in terms of product anyhow, so regardless of technology the institutional knowledge is valuable.

Employee training is crucial in reducing food waste, as well-trained staff are more mindful of portions, storage, and rotation practices. Integrating technology into training programs can enhance efficiency and accuracy, ensuring employees are well-versed in using inventory apps and waste-tracking tools or manual waste tracking also works. Regular training sessions can keep the team updated on best practices and new technologies. Investing in employee education not only minimizes waste but also boosts overall operational effectiveness.
