Abstract
The food industry has a variety of distinct characteristics that make effective supply chain management a difficult task. One of the most important characteristics to consider is the perishable nature of food products. It relates to important issues like food safety, health and nutrition, and poses significant challenges in food supply chain management. In this paper, we present a mixed-integer linear programming model (MILP) integrating food quality planning in production and distribution planning.
