Each person at a certain moment in his life has faced with the question of choosing his future profession, which will affect the course of his life. Moreover, if someone, being still a child who is just learning to perceive the world around him already knows who he will become in the future, and someone, even after graduating from school and holding a certificate with an ORT certificate, does not know who he wants to become.
As for me, I, like many other people, did not immediately decide to become a food technologist. As a child, I wanted to become a lawyer, after that I wanted to become a doctor who saves lives, but by the time I got older I realized that all this was not mine, that I wanted to work in production, produce various products, and also create and invent my own assortments. Then I decided that I would become a food technologist and take part in providing the population with food products.
However, choosing this profession, I could not even think about the connection between logistics and the profession of a technologist. What is this connection?
In order to answer this question, let us first look at the definitions of these two concepts.
"Logistics is the science of organizing, planning, controlling and regulating the movement of material and information flows in space and in time from their primary source to the final consumer."
At first glance, there is nothing in common between "logistics" and "food technologist", but if you think about it and look from the other side, you can determine the relationship between them. Let us look at this.
Firstly, as we already understood, logistics deals with processes that ensure the delivery of goods from manufacturer to consumer.
In addition, in our case, the food production technologist ensures the production of products, and with the help of logistics, the turnover of products from the manufacturer to the end consumer has carried out, and the export of products has ensured.
Secondly, production requires primary raw materials, which have delivered to the plant or warehouse using logistics, which guarantees the delivery of goods in the right quantity and at the right time.
And thirdly, the logistics of the food industry is responsible for planning and developing modes of storing finished products in warehouses before being sent to store shelves, and then into the hands of the consumer.
Thus, we realized that the subject of "logistics" is the most important and integral part of food production. A food technologist must have logistic skills in order to ensure a high-quality market turnover of products.
