Abstract
Changing customer requirements, unpredictable disturbances combined with expensive
production facilities, are major problems for food processing companies to achieve synergy between the
economic and environmental performance. There notably is a lack of tools to support decision to explore
effects on performance related to new products introductions, changes in production equipment, changes
in planning concepts and their cross sections. We argue that interdisciplinary research that uses
operations research techniques, operations management insights, food process technology and product
design helps in exploring the effect of uncertainty in demand and production. As a result, process design
can be more robust: both economic and environmental. This position paper explores the problem and the
main elements of the proposed scenario-based simulation approach.
