FUNDAMENTALS OF SUPPLY CHAIN-From Farm To Fork
Supply Chain Management Flowchart
“Components of the environmental impacts of a typical food
chain”
 Supply Chain Management - Fundamentals

With regards to Food Products, the logistics activities are carried out by different
operators such as manufacturers, distributors, service suppliers, consumers, and
could be grouped in 7 categories-
 Order Management (Order receipt, elaboration, transmission, implementation and
invoicing)
 Management & Stock Control (Definition of supply timing and quantity, inventory
upload and download, products and packaging codification)
 Warehousing (Conservation of goods, qualitative and quantitative controls before
shipment)
 Shipment (Activities related to product movement and shipment receipt)
 Packaging (Pallets)
 Delivery (Products delivery from the starting point, to the destination)
 Sales Returns Management and Waste Disposal

EVOLUTION IN LOGISTICS SERVICES
 Logistics Services

3 Different steps in the evolution of Logistic Services are as follows-

1st Step - Logistics is intended as a part of the production system

2nd Step – Companies, in order to reduce costs, are developing outsourcing

strategies, also for logistic activities

3rd Step – Companies are attempting to achieve a better competitive positioning

and give logistics a new strategic role, within cooperative strategies
DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE PROCESSING, PACKAGING AND
DISTRIBUTION
 Processing, Packaging & Distribution- Insights

 Reduction in uses of energy, water & materials will require close links between raw
material production, primary and secondary processing, packaging, waste
management and reprocessing

 Identification of improvement potentials from sustainability analysis will be an

important driver for innovations that are directed towards new and novel
technological solutions for foods processing, packaging & transportation
 Challenges & Deliverables
Challenges
1) Reduce uses of energy, water and materials
2) Improve utilization of food raw materials and reduce waste
throughout the production chain
3) Reprocess valuable food waste to food or feed
4) Promote recycling, recovering and management of
biomass, organic wastes and byproducts
5) Optimize energy production in industry including the
development and use of alternative/renewable energy
sources
6) Utilize and recycle by- and co-products of food chain as
energy and active compound sources
7) Develop new techniques and new materials for packaging
8) Promote storage and transport with “zero-release” of
contaminants
9) Integrate different industrial systems, including food
primary production and food industries in ‘industrial
ecology’ relationships, exchanging matter, water & energy
and economic value in inter-industrial networks
Deliverables
1) Methodologies for value chain analysis
2) Identification of wasteful food processing,
packaging and transportation operations with
potential for substantial improvement
3) Methodology for integrated assessment of
sustainability of food production systems
developed
4) Scientific approaches underpinning sustainability
of food production systems and clearly
established sustainability measures
5) Development & implementation of novel
processing, manufacturing, packaging and
distribution methods based on research on
sustainable food production
6) Development & implementation of highly
integrated sustainable village systems, including
food production
TRANSFORMING QUALITY IN AGRI FOOD PRODUCTS
 Improving Quality - Insights

 Technology could help food producers, railway or maritime transport operators are starting to
suggest shipments on refrigerated mobile bulks, allowing for perfect product conservation without
breaking the chill supply chain, and also simplifying, where rendered possible by health and duty
authorities, administrative procedures
EXAMPLES:
 For instance, Sicilian oranges are delivered from Sicily to the CeDi of COOP in Northern Italy on railways, using
mobile bulk with passive refrigeration systems. At this moment the service involves 3 bulk delivery daily on
Trenitalia trains, but if only 15% of all oranges delivered by road would use this service, 3 trains/day could be filled
 Another example about how logistics could support food production comes from maritime transport: MAERSK has,
for the first time, has delivered a refrigerated mobile bulk of Sicilian oranges to Japan, a rich market where
Tarocco oranges cost 1 Euro a piece. In this winning case, logistics creates value for Italian agriculture
 Also the CPR system experience, a Consortium managing reusable green boxes for fruits and vegetables transport,
is important: this system has evident environmental advantages, and has also allowed a reduction of 2/3 in
packaging costs. CPR System estimations state that 50% of fresh food price comes from logistics costs, thus,
possible gains are huge, and advantages are connected to an improvement of the whole logistics chain, with
benefits to all operators (producers, distributors and customers)

Logistics providers have to “invent” innovative and affordable solutions

as to make demand and offer collide
