Methodology or Experimental Procedure
The model is for biscuit production line which includes 12 workstations in National Biscuits and Confectionary
Company (NBCC) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
As (Noorwali et al., 2012) considered characteristics of food processing system and different types of variability
in food. The steps start with process map and simulation model. This paper will continue with the method steps in
order to investigate more in food variability level.
The steps are lean in food by categorise types of wastes in biscuit processing system. Then, Taguchi and
orthogonal array method will be applied to design the framework for the simulation models which represent the
factors that affecting with food processing system. Finally, the correlation between variables will be applied to
define the most impact variable. The method will be explained in detail in the following sections.
