To enable the students to analyse and understand food production
chains and the interdependence of the parts of these. The focus is
on understanding of the interactions between quality, chemical
issues related to raw material and safety as well as process
design, production planning and innovation aspects on a basic
level.
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
Analyse a food production chain and identify safety, quality
and planning issues.
Apply process analysis to overview a production chain from raw
material to consumer.
Identify interactions between product quality, food safety and
process operations.
Access and qualify information from various sources.
Validate solutions to practical problems using quantitative and
qualitative methods.
Plan a project and analyse a task as well as breaking the task
into phases.
Write (as group-work) a technical report suitable for decision

company.
Kursusindhold:
The course pertains to analysis and understanding of basic
interactions along food production chains. The interactions concern
quality, safety and production planning all of which must be
considered as integral in order to make proper production planning
and design. Problem analysis and solution in teams is central in
the course which will be build around study cases that exemplify a
wide range of common issues in various steps associated to food
production. Separate elements on process technology, food quality,
food safety, challenges for the food industry and production
planning as well as project management, innovation and presentation
techniques are included. If possible, an excursion to a relevant
actor in the chain will be arranged. Guest lectures are
included.
