ABSTRACT
The individual who will derive the greatest benefit from this book is the executive in a small-to medium-sized food or nutritional supplement manufacturing company, a segment that has been ignored by most authors who have written on how to achieve organizational excellence. The value to the reader isn’t restricted to one discipline or function within a company and applies to the following:
• General management/ownership • Regulatory compliance • Recipe/formula management • Planning and scheduling • Manufacturing operations • Materials management • Supply chain management • Quality management • Distribution/logistics/transportation
nutraceutical industry will also benefit from reading and studying this book. Every reader will benefit because each operates as a major contributor to the process flow that results in a safe and profitable product delivered to the marketplace. Understanding the best practices of each discipline by the other disciplines creates an empathy and cooperative spirit that drives improved regulatory compliance and factory and supply chain performance. The expression “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” is a major theme of this book (Figure 1.1).
