Food production technological processes management

Effective technological processes of food industries require constant management. The main factor in improving the manageability of technological processes is the introduction of automated control systems in them. The practical experience of implementing automated control systems to technological processes of food production has shown that it is based on the knowledge and experience of specific single specialists. The proposed solution to the indicated problem is to formalize the definition of the stages of the technological process, the automation of which will ensure its optimization based on minimizing the likely risks (failures). In order to be adapted, the “Failure Mode and Effect Analysis” methodology was adapted and an algorithm for finding options for optimizing technological processes of food industries was developed. The proposed adapted methodology and algorithm for the search for optimization of technological processes of food production allows to identify the likely risks (failures) of the process and estimate the possibility of minimizing them through automation, which will reduce subjectivism in the automation of technological processes.
