Food production, BPMN, business processesAbstract
This paper models and analyzes business processes in the food manufacturing industry using (Business Process Model and Notation) BPMN 2.0 to improve operational efficiency and minimize waste. In particular, we examine the packaging, storage and distribution processes and identify time losses and bottlenecks in the warehouse area. The study evaluates the impact of shuttle systems on productivity and proposes improvements based on Value Stream Mapping (VSM) analysis of BPMN 2.0 models. The findings aim to strengthen decision-making and contribute to operational excellence in the food manufacturing sector.
