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, and the interactions between these and process
operations.
Apply process analysis to overview a production chain from raw
material to consumer.
Define innovation and explain different innovation models.
Describe the elements of an innovation process in a food
company.
Describe the major parameters that influence the quality of
food.
Evaluate where in the value chain optimisation in relation to
quality can be addressed.
Validate solutions to practical problems using quantitative and
qualitative methods.
Identify raw material properties of importance to the final
product.
Make a concise oral presentation of a technical matter.
Give constructive feedback to contribution from other course
participants.
Write (as group-work) a technical report suitable for decision
making in a company.
Kursusindhold:
The course aims to teach the student analysis and understand the
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. Problems will be analysed and solutions
suggested by teams. Team work is central in the course, and the
teams will study cases that exemplify a wide range of common issues
in various steps associated to food production. Furthermore,
separate elements are included such as process technology and
challenges for the food industry as well as market strategy,
innovation and presentation techniques. If possible, an excursion
will be arranged to a relevant actor in the food sector. Guest
lectures are an important part of the course.
