...Foreign literature: The Baking Industry Research Trust (BIRT) is a sub-committee of the New Zealand Association of Bakers (NZAB), delegated the responsibility of administering the Trust Account. The Trust Account was set up to meet the requirements of the Wheat Industry Research Levies Act 1989 and to identify and make recommendations to the NZAB Executive. The NZAB Executive has legal responsibility for administering the Trust, and other levy payers on research projects. The BIRT committee is made up of representatives from the various levy paying sectors. These include plant bakers, small bakeries represented by the Baking Industry Association of New Zealand (BIANZ) (Baking Society) and biscuit manufacturers, as well as the Chair of the New Zealand Flour Milling Industry Research Trust. The two sectors frequently combine on research projects. Copies of completed research reports are available to all levy payers and BIRT would encourage all industry members to take advantage of research conducted on their behalf. Since the formation of the Trust in 1989, a key aspect of the Trust’s work has been to ensure that the research conducted is appropriate for the Industry sector the Trust represents. Consequently in addition to having representatives from all sectors, the trust has also conducted a number of strategy workshops in which industry personnel have outlined the research framework for the Trust to follow. The framework developed has provided the Trust with some clear...

...Pillsbury Cookie Challenge 1. What did the team learn from the study and what are the implications of this knowledge? There are two studies occurring in this case. The first one is “Usage and attitude study”. The insights is gained from the case: * 56% Canadian prefers to bake from scratch and 33% bake scratch every month. * Convenience and taste is the top two most important elements considered by Canadian when they choose cookies. Then they followed by quality of cookies. The kids’ favor is also put into considered when their parents decide to purchase. * Customers regard cookie dough as convenient. And acting on the impulse, increasing number of customers purchase cookie dough. Implications obtained from the study: First of all, it’s the preference of cooking method. We could regard this point as one of customer behavior features, to be detailed, or as how to use our product. Guillen should base on this behavior preference to improve the product. Second, it’s the purchase drivers considered by customer. Based on the study, when customers choose cookies, the product features should be listed as convenience, taste, quality and kids’ preference. This is critical information for Guillen to redesign or reposition his product. What’s more, it’s the motives of purchase. According to the study, customers always choose product impulsively without too much recognition or preference about certain products. There are two sides of this matter. One is positive....

...The baked goods industry, encompassing products such as bread, cereals, cakes, biscuits, pastries and scones, is well established in industrialized regions such as Western Europe and North America. Product innovation and healthier products and ingredients are fuelling market growth in these regions. Emerging markets such as Latin America, Middle/East Africa and Asia represent good market potential as western lifestyles and eating habits continue to be adopted in these regions. It is therefore interesting to explore the environment of craftsmen, Industrialists and consumers by following the trends that lead the industry; (EuropainIntersuc Study). Trend 1: Bakery = contemporary version for every moment of consumption: The consumer plebiscite places where he can buy but also consume on the spot at any time of the day. The goal here is to make bakery product more available to consumer. “In France, with 340 visits per day opening, bakeries are among the busiest retail proximity businesses” (www.devenir-boulanger.com). Trend 2: What is " good for me " is in my bakery: Here, we are concerned about consumer’s health and well -being, today's consumers are looking for freshness, nutritional quality, food safety and simplicity. The industry is focusing only delivering edible product but they also expect it to participate actively in good consumer’s food habit. For instance, if you’re diabetic you can still order a birthday cake, because they can bake one with no sugar. Trend 3 : Design...

...cookies after standard business operating hours. There are several immediate decisions to address including scale of operation, business partner relationship, operation and production systems, as well as pricing, ordering, and delivery policies. Kristen and her partner must determine which of various alternatives presented will help them achieve operational optimization. After a careful analysis, it is recommended that Kristen that all orders be standardized to one dozen, with rush deliveries limited to the first batch of the night while using existing equipment available. Kristen should continue to maintain her working relationship with her roommate in order to run the business out of their apartment using one oven, one mixer and two baking trays. Problem Definition Kristen needs to decide how to optimize the cookie making process to achieve the best business practices. The partners must formulate rules for accepting and fulfilling orders that will address any of the system’s current insufficiencies. The business is small, with limited resources in finances, space, equipment and time. The primary constraint is limited capacity. Kristen and her roommate also need to plan how to manage the constraints on their capacity, and on what strategy they will use to grow capacity and invest in equipment. Decision Criteria The following factors must be taken into consideration by Kristen when choosing which alternative or combination of alternatives should be implemented to create...

...Ice-Campusades has been open for just over a month now and there is a lot of business around RPI. Each day the same ice cream is delivered by the same supplier and is always the same price: $1.50 each. Although the same amount of ice cream is delivered each day, there are days when some ice cream goes unsold and other days when there is not enough ice cream for all of the customers. After much research, there are a number of factors that affect the demand for ice cream on a given day. These factors include substitutes to Ice-Campusades ice cream, weather, and sporting events. Future competition can also shift the demand for Ice-Campusades ice cream as well. There are two substitutes around the RPI campus that affects the sales of Ice-Campusades ice cream. One of these is the weekly sorority bake sale. Each Monday, one sorority holds a bake sale on campus. Since the bake sale is only once a week, students often opt for the baked goods instead of ice cream. Another substitute is the “All You Can Eat Pancakes” offered by the local diner on Wednesdays. Many students spend their money on the pancakes rather than on the ice cream these days. This information about the bake sale and all you can eat pancakes shows that on Mondays and Wednesdays the demand for Ice-Campusades ice cream on the RPI campus is lower than the normal equilibrium. This means that on these days there is a surplus of ice cream. Another factor that affects the demand of the ice cream is the weather. On warm,...

...Art can be found just about everywhere. I see it in our world outside, with all of the colors of the earth. The arts portray creativity though different means. For example, paintings with different mediums, creating things out of materials; I even think of cooking as an art form. I do tend to think of visual art when I discuss the arts, but I feel as though art is in everything around us. My mom made an interesting point one day. My sister is the artistic one with painting and sculpting. I am creative with the culinary arts. My mom is the writer of the family. We all have our unique talents to the family. I have always had a passion for the culinary arts. I eventually went to school to study culinary arts. My absolute favorite thing to do was to bake and decorate cakes. My talent was nurtured even more by a bakery owner I worked for. She encouraged me to practice on cakes and enter a competition. The bakery eventually closed, but I continued making cakes. I started sketching them out on paper. I mostly made my own children’s cakes, but there was a sense of pride when I had someone ask me to make them a cake. Working with fondant can be a lengthy process. To make the decorations, you need to do them a day early sometimes. The fondant needs to be rolled out to cover the cake, and the consistency is firmer than playdough. My back and feet are in pain by the end of making a cake, but the finished process is worth it. It can sometimes be hard to communicate what the...

...Cynthia Smith Professor Yaron M. David Principles of Management and Leadership September 7, 2004 Michael Bregman Case Questions 1. The major strategic issues Michael Bregman must address are (1) deciding on whether or not to focus on specialty-type restaurants or (2) deciding on franchising one or both of his companies. There are risks involved in deciding on which business strategy to pursue. For the focused business strategy, Bregman must decide on the type of specialty restaurant to pursue by marketing; he must also take into account location and demographics. For the franchising business strategy, not only must Bregman take into account location and demographics, but he must also consider the ramifications associated with franchising such as disclosure issues, liability and capital requirements. 2. The design layout and space makes it efficient for the employees at the Mmmuffins Shop to function well. Because Mmmuffins’ menu consists of only a few basic items, the employees do not have to be highly qualified. Management only has to supervise a small staff and be concerned with routine day-to-day activities. Management has established policies and procedures in place, which makes it easier for all involved. On the other hand, Baguettes is more complex in that the company is both a restaurant and bakery. Baguettes is larger than Mmmuffins and requires specialty staff for specialized tasks. In addition, management has to supervise a larger staff and without...

...ne morning I woke up and could not find my parents in the house. First I thought they were still asleep, but when I went to the kitchen I saw that my breakfast was on the table, and also a brief note from my mother. My mother informed me that I have to stay at home alone, as she needed to help her sister to organise a wedding party. My mother left $300 for me. This took me with surprise at is was the first time that I stayed at home alone. Whilst eating my breakfast, I convinced myself that everything will be alright and I also thought about all the household chores I need to do in the absence of my mother. After breakfast, I did the washing up and went to the market in order to buy food. As I didn't know by then what I wanted to cook for dinner, I just had a stroll around in order to gather some ideas. At the end I bought some noodles so that I could bake Vietnamese noodles for dinner. As I didn't know how to cook those noodles, I researched a recipe via google for 30 minutes, and at the end I found a video which demonstrated step-by-step how to cook the noodles . This was the first time I cooked a dinner for myself and I wanted it to look pretty. Just as it looked in the video, and just as my mother tought me. She always says: "When we cooking or making food, we have to think all about love and beautiful things, so our food can be more delicious." So, whilst cooking I was thinking about beautiful things, and I also cooked with all my heart. After 30 mins the noodles were...
