Ch 6 Worksheet Food Production 1. In a foodservice operation, what is production? - The managerial function of converting food purchased in various stages of preparation into menu items that are served to customers. 2. Discuss the costs associated with overproduction. - Food waste - High priced foods used in a low-cost menu item - Increase storage space - Spoilage of food 3. Discuss the costs associated with underproduction. - Additional labor cost - Customer dissatisfaction - Substitution of higher price items 4. What information should be collected to provide a good historical record that could be used for forecasting future demand? - Meal or hour of service - Quantity of each item prepared - Quantity of each item served - Notation of special event (holidays and weather conditions) - Food items prepared - Date and day of the week 5. What are the important factors to consider when selecting a foe=recasting methods: - Cost - Relevancy of past data - Required accuracy - Underlying pattern of behavior - Forecasting lead time 6. Explain the following forecasting methods. In what situations would each be appropriate? Time series - Causal :
o An identifiable relationship between the item being forecast and other factors such as: Market availability Selling price Number of customers - Subjective : o Used when relevant data are not available or relationships between the data do not persist over time. Qualitative information and opinions are used to inform the forecast. 7. Using both time series methods of forecasting, predict the number of meals that should be prepared for the next Monday. The forecast for the most recent Monday was 367 and for the most recent Friday was 354. a=0.3 Show your calculations DAY WEEK 1 WEEK 2 WEEK 3 WEEK 4 Monday 360 375 367 373 Tuesday 372 381 376 380 Wednesday 375 373 378 376 Thursday 358 368 360 363 Friday 333 377 353 370 Moving Average using data from only four previous Mondays. 360 + 375 + 367 + 373 = 1475/4 = 368.75 ~ 369 Moving average using data from most recent days (Tuesday through Friday) 380 + 376 + 363 + 370 = 1489/4 = 372.25 ~ 373 Exponential smoothing using data from previous Friday F = α s + 1-α (F’) F = 0.3 (370) + 0.7 (354) F = 111 + 247.8 F = 358.8 ~ 359 Exponential smoothing using data from previous Monday F = α s + 1-α (F’) F = 0.3 (373) + 0.7 (367) F = 111.9 + 256.9 F = 368.8 ~ 369
8. What information should be included in a production schedule to make it a specific action plan? - Employee assignments - Menu items - Special instructions - Production date - The unit - Quantity to prepare - Substitution - Customer count - Preparation time schedule - Actual yield 9. How would a production schedule for a ready prepared food production operation differ from a production schedule for a conventional operation? - Much of the production is for placement into inventory for future service in a ready- prepared operation. In a conventional operation most of the production is for service on the day of production. 10. Why should production meetings be held regularly? - Important to go over any new menus, changes to the menu, and if they are over/under production. - Makes everyone communicate with each other. 11. How would the cook’s job change if there was an ingredient room in the foodservice operation? - Contributes to cost reduction and quality improvement by stopping production of employees from withdrawing large quantities of products from storage whether they are needed. 12. Adjust the recipe for chocolate pudding to 110 portions using the factor method. Chocolate Pudding Yield: 50 portions or 6 qt. Portion: ½ cup Convert to 110 portions Conversion Factor (desired yield divided by base recipe yield) ____________ 50 PORTIONS X CONVERSION ROUND INGREDIENT AMOUNT DECIMAL UNIT FACTOR RECONVERT OFF Sugar, granulated 2 lb. 6 oz. Flour, all-purpose 6 oz.

Cornstarch 3 oz. Salt 1 tsp. Cocoa powder 8 oz. Milk 1 gal. Butter 8 oz. Vanilla 2 Tbs. 13. What is the difference between a quantity recipe and a standardized recipe? A quantity recipe is formatted differently from a home-style recipe. The ingredients are listed on the left side with the accompanying procedures on the right side. A standardized recipe is one that has been tested extensively in the foodservice organization where it is to be used. It is tailored for that organization and meets the standards for quality and quantity. The food cost per portion along with the selling price is predictable. 14. Identify five advantages for using standardized recipes. 1. Promote uniform quality of menu items 2. Increase productivity of cooks 3. Control inventory levels 4. Simplify training of cooks 5. Provide information to customers with special dietary needs 15. What are the three phases in the process of standardizing a recipe? 1. Recipe verification
2. Product evaluation 3. Quantity adjustment 16. List the major reasons for cooking foods - Destruction of harmful microorganisms (makes food safer for human consumption) - Increased digestibility - Change and enhancement of flavor, form, color, texture, and aroma 17. For each piece of equipment, identify how heat is transferred to the food. (More than one heat transfer mechanism may be involved.) - Conduction : Transfer of heat though direct contact from one object or substance to another. o Griddle o Grill o Deck, oven o Tilting braising pan o Deep-fat fryer - Convection : Distribution of heat by the movement of liquid or vapor; may be either natural or forced. o Steam-jacketed kettle o Convection oven o Steamer o Deck, oven o Tilting braising pan o Deep-fat fryer o Impinger oven - Radiation : Generation of heat energy by wave action within an object. o Microwave oven o Flash bake oven 18. What would be the best piece of equipment to produce the following menu items in a hospital foodservice operation? 1. Roast beef: Combination oven 2. Baked potatoes; Deck or convection oven 3. Broccoli spears: Steamer
4. Vegetable soup: Steam jacket kettle 5. Broiled chicken: Broiler 6. Poached eggs: Tilted braising pan 7. Crisp bacon: Deck or convection oven 8. Turkey gravy: Steam jacket kettle 9. Hot biscuits: Deck or convection oven 19. How may the temperature of foods be measured for doneness: can the same implement be used to used to measure the temperature of all foods: Internal temperatures of foods can determine doneness. However, in meat cookery carry-over cooking must be considered. The internal temperature of meats will continue to increase even after being removed from the oven 20. Calculate the number of carrots to purchase (AP) to produce carrot and raisin salad if 35# EP of carrots are needed. 1 lb. AP (As Purchased) = 0.70 lb. ready-to-cook or serve carrots 35 EP /0.7 lb = 50 lb. AP 21. Calculate the number of pounds of ground beef required to make a four-ounce (EP) cooked beef patty for 640 people at an 80 percent yield. 4 oz. x 640 people = 2560 oz. EP 16 oz. = 1 lb. 2560 oz./16 oz. = 160 lb. at 80% 160 lb./0.8 = 200 lb. AP 22. Identify three sources of loss that will reduce yield. - Preparation (equipment use) - Cooking (moisture loss) - Handling (includes portioning) 23. What is the correct size of ladle, or disher, or spoodle needed to produce/serve each of the following products: PRODUCT LADLE DISHER SPOODLE

Chicken noodle soup 8 oz______ Meatballs ½ Tbsp__________ Cornbread dressing 4 oz Turkey gravy ¼ cup Buttered peas 3 oz Beef stew 6 oz Pasta salad 4-5 oz Mashed potatoes 5 oz Seafood salad 6 oz Large drop cookies 2 1/5 Tbsp Oatmeal 1 ½ Tbsp Canned cherries 3 oz 24. Identify benefits that would be expected from controlling energy usage in a foodservice operation. - Lower energy costs - Good for the environment 25. How can the recommendation to use batch cooking for some menu items be reconciled with the energy conservation recommendation to cook in the largest volume possible? The primary responsibility is to produce foods of good quality. Some menu items can tolerate long holding periods without losing quality, but others such as cooked veggies are significantly impaired by a long holding period before service. When the choice is between good quality food and using more energy resourced to cook additional small batched, the better choice is produced small batches. 26. Identify how control of food production affects the output of the foodservice system. The output of the meals in the appropriate quantities and quality will be affected by using a good forecasting model, standardized recipes, and production sheets.
Customer satisfaction will be assured using standardized recipes that meet customer expectation, portion control, time, and temperature control in cooking. The output of financial accountability will be affected by the correct use of standardized recipes. portion control and the control of energy usage.
