KiChDy- The Mix

Inventory management, supply chain concepts, demand-supply weighings all are not only applicable to companies but also Kitchen.
There's complexity in this so called looking simple SYSTEM.

KichDY = Kitchen Dynamics.

Let us make a thorough analysis of how KichDy is inter-relating these concepts.




From the market we need to know the CUSTOMER WANTS AND DEMANDS (1).Weekly/ daily forecasts are analysed and charts prepared in a company.

Mummy asks every1 @ home :
" Beta kya khaoge, kitne log khaenge sham ko, tum mei se koi bahar toh nahi jaaoge, aaj chole-bhature chalenge ? "

Once the VOC (Voice of the customer) is heard i.e demand sensed from the market. PRODUCTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS(2) is done; whether there is no production constraints is thoroughly analysed.
"Kya ghar par sabji, masale hai ? utensils ki toh maara-maari nahi hai naa ?"

After production analysis and satisfactory results in the analysis,PRODUCTION INITIATION(3) takes place as per demand.
"The required sabji, rice, dal or delicacies are prepared in the required time for required people and place."

Some days Khana zyada hota hai, sometimes the food is less. If the food is more, prepared food, cut n chop vegetables or even the unchopped vegetables they are put in refrigeration.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT(4) is done.

Carry forward of the same food takes place next day, to continue with the same for consumption.
Daily cleaning of utensils with good LEAD TIME(5) is done daily.

All and many more concepts lead to a complex web of Kitchen Dynamics.
