Statistical analysis increases yield and throughput for meat-processors

摘要

For meat and poultry producers, optimisation of the cooking process is serious business. Ayield increase of even a few percent can mean millions in long-term savings. In search of similar results, Findus, a leading international frozen food processor,sought an optimisation tool for its flat-meat product line. "We wanted to increase yield, decrease weight variation, optimise the use of our equipment and increase productivity," says Kenneth Malmqvist, factory manager of the plated meal and meat plantin Bjuv, Sweden.
