Appendix 1: Grain Information
Dutch: Een korrel graan bestaat uit de volgende onderdelen:
Kaf - het oneetbare omhulsel waar de graankorrel - tijdens de groei aan de aar - in 'verpakt' is.
De zemel - het velletje dat om de graankorrel zit noemen we de zemel. De zemel is opgebouwd uit meerdere, met elkaar vergroeide lagen en bestaat voor het grootste deel uit vezelstof. Bij rijst wordt de zemel het
zilvervlies genoemd.
In de zemel zit het meellichaam (endosperm).Het meellichaam bestaat uit
zetmeel (het grootste deel) en eiwit, afhankelijk van de graansoort kan een deel van de eiwitten die in (en rondom) het meellichaam zitten, uit stoffen
bestaan die tijdens het kneden van deeg gluten vormen.
Gluten zijn nodig om deeg met gist - o.a. brooddeeg - te laten rijzen (ze houden het gas vast dat door de gist geproduceerd wordt).
In het meellichaam zit de kiem. De kiem is het deel van de korrel van waaruit
een nieuwe plant groeit. (www.dekooktips.com/.../ tarwekorrel.jpg) Figure 1.1 (Dutch)

Appendix 2: Action plan of making the week planning
1a First the planner calls with the sales department, how much bulk will be delivered
from Thursday until Sunday? This gives the planner an idea about the available stock capacity and what can be produced.
1b Then the planner counts the bulk inventory of flour. A calculator is used and the daily
report of the bulk inventory per cell per product.
been done in tonnages and it is not yet specialised which products are produced, only how many in total can be produced, is sold and will be stored.
2 First Mill 2 has been planned in total. Only on this mill can be processed rye and
buckwheat.
3 Then there is printed a list of all the customer orders for next month from Heart Profit.
And also the list of inventory of bags in the warehouse is printed.
4 Then the turnover can be divided by Laco Crumbs, Dr. Oetker and remaining. This can
be added to the Excel sheet. Dr. Oetker does packaging for Koopmans, so it is important that this company has enough flour delivered on time. Some flour types can be purchased.
5 Now the planner looks at the inventory lists of the bags in the warehouse. There are
placed notes of exclamation (!) to see quickly what needs to be produced and packed in bags.
6 The total planning of production per week is printed then.
7 After the total planning has been made, the sequence of products should be determined
for mill 2 and mill 1. What should be made at which time moment? This is called planning in advance.
8 In the weekly meeting sales and quality persons talk with the planner about the details.
This can have influence on the sequence of production.
9 If the meeting is over, the planning for the mill is finished. This planning is used for
planning per day and as source of information for other departments their planning.
Appendix 3: Action plan of making the bags planning
1. Print the overview of the inventory of bags and the current bag planning. 2. Compare the available and reserved volumes per product.
3. Look at what volumes are necessary.

1 Capgemini 1997 Long/medium/sh ort term, long is for one or more years, medium term planning is probably per month and short term is per week.
x A detailed model.
And it is
developed for the food processing industry. This one is related to the production process. It is already used for Koopmans. It is used in other companies and not matcht to production structure and dynamics.
2 Van Wezel 2001 Very precise. Three levels. Three months, 1 month or 1 week. And granularity is month/week, week/day and day/hour. Focus on flexibility. Four reasons why flexibility is necessary. Planning flexibility. Volume/delivery flexibility. Solution: information processing. Focus on flexibility. ERP systems and information processing are a solution to increase planning flexibility. Focus on planning Narrow view on planning, capacity planning and resource planning miss. Other parts of the organisation and long term and strategies are not
taken into consideration. 3 Soman 2002 MTO-MTS decision: few months-year. Capacity coordination:a few weeks-month. Scheduling: day to week. x Explicit about what to decide when. Focus on food processing industry. MTO-MTS decision interesting, and capacity coordination. It is not customised to Koopmans. Servicelevels and inventory policy are not determined at Koopmans.

Appendix 15: Evaluation
Positive• Talentproject at Koopmans Meel BV;
• Planning is interesting, much knowledge about planning, batch sizes, and food industry; • Worked in workgroup integral planning, good for commitment and related to research; • Good support by supervisors, H. Bijma en Talentproject;
• Planning of the process was very good and clear, this worked very well; • Experience with an ERP system;
• Omroep Friesland, on television because of Talentproject;
• Talentproject assessment: develop flexibility and broader thinking;
Negative
• English is not useful for Koopmans Meel BV, and is a weakness of the researcher; • Structuring and writing of the thesis were very difficult for the researcher;
• It is on one side nice to work with experienced and older persons, but on the other side the researcher missed younger persons, woman and broader thinking;
• The author had a lot of meetings at Koopmans, which started late, or are not well guided; • It is hard to divide time about the research, Koopmans and Talentproject. A lot of parties
