Abstract

In the last couple of decades, the emphasis has been placed from stand-alone operations toward the integrated manufacturing facility, producing a more complete range of value-added products from the raw seed to the dinner table. During this transition, operations have become more dependent on each other, as the individual functions involved must now consider the impact of their actions on the total process. At the same time, the scope of knowledge each operation must have of other functions has expanded, and it is important that at least a basic understanding of the “big overall picture” be available to the decision-maker. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the typical processes and interrelations associated with a total integrated facility.
