    PASTA PRODUCTION DAY:

    The following are the steps that I will follow to plan a PASTA production day.

    Step 1:
    Market your product and take orders to establish how many pasta dishes you need to make.

    Step 2:
    Do a risk assessment to prevent any serious disasters. Based on past experience it is in my best interest to make sure I have extra stock available in case the outcome of the product is below standard.

    Step 3:
    Establishing objectives/outcomes:
    – Schedule that all prepared ingredients are ready to be assembled by 11am
    – Schedule that the final pasta dish as a complete product is assembled, according to standard, by 12am
    – Schedule that delivery starts between 12h and 12h30
    – Ensure that all payments are received before or at the time of delivery of the product

    Step 4:
    Plan to get feedback from your clients, by handing out a questionnaire, to improve quality of future production

    1. Do thorough market before planning the production day. 2. Market the pasta dishes while at the same time taking orders for your products. This ensures that you don’t produce too much or too little of something. 3. Order your ingredients well ahead of time. Order enough ingredients incase something flops or goes wrong. Always use a reputable supplier. 4. Before the production, work out a working schedule for your staff. This way everyone will know exactly what must be done and by when it must be done (set deadlines).

    1. you most decide what type of pasta dish you will prepare and decide on the cost of each dish.2. market your product correctly because production will take place according to the amount of products that has been marketed.3. order your ingredients in time and make sure you order extra.4.make a work scheule and hand it to the workers two days before the production day so that they may read it and understand what is expected of them on the day of production.5.make sure that as the production goes by, check each step the workers are doing and make sure you correct any mistakes.6. make sure all deliveries are done on time.get feedback from your consumers and thank them for their support.

    1.Plan your production day, handout early recipe specifications,order ingredients and start market your product to customers.2

    • lwando August 18, 2011 at 1:25 pm #

      1. Make the order list of ingredients immediately send to the supplier and then start selling pasta to the customers so that you will know how many pastas you need to make in the kitchen.2.In the kitchen now check the ingredients available,equipment working well and start pre-preparation.3.Give instructions to your staff e.g cleaners,markrters and cooks. Ensure each task has setting time to finish e.g before lunch pasta must be done after lunch start preparing filling.4.Markerters start labelling and packaging the product and deliver to the customers who ordered.

    production day for Pasta dishes:
    1. decide how many dishes will be prepared as well as the variations for each. if possible test each recipe before the production day to ensure the recipes work well, and to estimate the time involved as well as the amount of workers needed for specific tasks.
    2.draw up a marketing sheet/order list for the marketers to allow them to sell the dishes,. the list should be handed out at least a week before production day so that each marketer has enough time to sell the dishes.
    3. order the ingredients and packaging well ahead of time i.e. at least a week before to ensure all ingredients will be ready on the day, also order extra as a precaution in case anything goes wrong.
    4. draw up a production day schedule, allocating the starting and ending time as well as the time required for each step to ensure each person knows exactly what is required of them. also provide each cook with a copy of the recipes, and make sure it is read thoroughly before they start.

    Supervisors need to know how many products are to be sold and have to devide the products among the marketers.Give the marketing list one week before the production day for the marketers to place orders on time.On the production day,ingredients and suitable packages are ordered..there are enough cooks and cleaners so that the work runs smoothly and everyone goes home happy

  8. Nkosazana Jack August 11, 2011 at 8:12 am #

    1. Test your recipe beforehand and detail down all the changes made on the recipe.
    2. Market your product as much as you can, the more popular, the more people will know about it and buy it.
    3. Do a costing whereby you calculate how many ingredients you will need and how much the production will cost. Then add you markup wherether its 15%, whatever you decide but be reasonable.
    4. Draw up a production plan and distribute duties so that your workers may know what to do at what time.
    5. Make sure beforehand that all the money is collected from marketers before production so that you can be sure of how many products to make.

  9. Sheila Bandoraho August 11, 2011 at 10:41 am #

    1.decide on the pasta dishes you want to make and how many to give a arough idea of how many orders will be taken.

    2.draw up a marketing list but before that do some research on the target market and find out wether they will be interested in buying the pasta dishes.

    3.make order lists and order ingredients that will be needed for the pasta dishes. start marketing pasta dishes around when the order for ingredients has been made. it is best to market to everyone and not judge people as the ones you think wont buy are the ones that usually buy.

    4. on the day get all the marketing lists and collect the money from the marketers and make sure that deliveries are made.

    Planning o production day where Pasta dishes will be prepared and sold:

    Our most important goal here is to make good quality product that satisfies our customer needs and still make profit.
    -Marketing list should be handed out on time to the markerters(atleast a week before)
    *That gives marketers enough time to reach all our potential customers and make money.
    *It gives us an idea of the maximum amount of dishes to be prepared
    -A working scheduled must be handed out to all the workers in the morning during production day(so they all know their resposibilities),finishing time given to the cooks and cleaners.
    -Product manager must supervise the workers through out the day(for quality control and
    time management)
    -Marketing manager must make sure that markerters deliver all products and all money collected from customers
    t all product

      1.the managers should research for the pasta recipes and do the tasting of the pasta recipes that they have chosen to produce for the production day togehter with the marketers and cookers so that they may establish which one’s are failing and which one’s are they going to produce to produce.

      2.draw out the marketing list for the marketers with the certain number of listed pasta dishes, the date of day of production the price of each dish and time that the orders will be delivered.

      3. now that you have established how many of the dishes your consumers has ordered can start to draw the cooking schedule for the cookers with the required ingredients that are organised on time, method of the recipes that you have tested and the time the cooking should be done and packed to be deliverd.

    Plan the production day. first of all decide on the variety of the pasta dishes. how many dishes will be prepared. will the prepared varieties be a good choice in terms of marketing? have enough workers for the production day (supervisors, quality controllers, cleaners, cooks, marketers, kiosk staff0. put on a cap before collecting the ingredients. wash your hands. collect the required ingredients in time. prepare the dishes. take a break. get back to work. pack the pasta dishes and deliver them to the consumers, cleanup the kitchen and sanitize. supervisors dismiss the workers.

    planning a production day for the production of pasta:

    step1- decide on a type of pasta thats fairly simple and economical. market the pasta and take orders to establish the amount that needs to be made.

    2- Order, in advance, the correct amount of ingredients plus a little extra in case of any problems that may occur. order the packaging that needs to be used.

    3- designate jobs to the workers so that everyone knows what is expected of them and draw up a schedule so that production runs on time.

    4- prepare the food in a timely fashion so that it can be delivered to the customers on time.

    Planning a sucessfull production day for PASTA dishes:
    1. This will depend on advanced and thorough planning as well as accurate knowledge about the dishes that will be made.This knowledge can be attained by “recipe testing” sessions well before hand which will allow one to forsee any possible faults and causes that may occur and then find solutions to it.
    2. You will by then be aware of all the requirements needed for the smooth running of your production day eg. type and quantities of ingredients, equipment needed, number of workers and each of their responsibilities etc.
    3. With that in mind you will then be ready for the paper work that includes Costing, ordering of ingredients(from a trusted source), price and description of the products that will be sold, Drawing up and issuing of market lists as well as a Production day work scedjule etc.
    4. In conclusion you will gather information from the markrting lists in order to know the exact amount of orders that will be recquired to go out…at all times communicate the scedjule with your workers to motivate them an make them aware of any urgencies etc.
