The food industry, which I choose as my professional activity, is one of the foundations of the existence of society. Nutrition and provision of reserves for the people - that is task of society. Many centuries ago, a person concluded that the raw materials that agriculture and animal husbandry give us must be able to properly procure, prepare and store. This is what food technologists are doing.
Why did I stop at this profession? I was interested in many areas into which the food industry is subdivided. Milk and bread, meat and fish, vegetables and fruits, confectionery and drinks are the main branches of food production.
The technologist is in charge of the entire process of processing, preparation and storage of products. It all starts with determining the quality and selection of raw materials. Than follows by the creation of recipes and building the cooking process, be it drying, freezing, conservation or cooking. The process ends with the selection of containers and storage conditions for food products. This requires precision and creativity, which have become part of my interest in the profession.
What is the role of logistics in my future profession?
The role of logistics in food production is primarily has aimed at providing the enterprise with reliable information about suppliers, customers, the structure and dynamics of demand, tastes, desires and preferences of consumers. Logistics should start by looking at customers, suppliers and demand levels. The object of the study is also the technical equipment of enterprises producing homogeneous products and their sales markets.
A modern technologist must think not only about the safe production of food products, but also about the profitable sale of products. This is the role of logistics in my profession. The manufactured goods must be competitive, delivered and sold in the shortest possible time, without damage and damage to the products, in compliance with all norms and standards.
Knowledge of logistics helps to calculate the place, time and relevance, marketability of a given product in a particular region.
A technologist who understands the intricacies of logistics will always satisfy any demand and supply of even the most sophisticated consumer.
