Test that determines best count, weight, or quantity and typically used on fruits and vegetables
Raw food test
general process of formal method (3-step)
- issue bid request
- tabulate and evaluate bids

Test that determines portion cost after waste, trim and usually done on meat and poultry
butchering test
market classifications of quality
grade
partially processed ingredient or ready-to-serve
convenience foods
Process in calculating requirements for perishables (5)
- compute for minimum stock requirement
- provide allowance for safety stock: 5-20%
- Total requirement: #1 + #2
- Add allowance for Lead Time Usage (LTU), when applicable
- compute for maximum requirement for each ingredient
Tests in setting quantity standards
- raw food test
- butchering test
- canned good test
- cooked test
System where the stock is brought back to a certain level each time an order is made, regardless of amount on hand
par stock system
What are two ways to do sample product specification
indicates:
- equivalent weight or measure per kilo
- uses (dishes)
purchasing process (8)
- identify needs
- determine standards of product quality
- estimate quantities needed
- calculate desired stock inventory levels
- identify amount to order
- develop purchase order
- market research on vendor’s product availability
- select and negotiate with vendors
formula for maximum stock requirement for groceries and consumables
min stock + safety stock + LTU
Who are the usual buyers? (5)
- manager
- food service supervisor
- chef steward
- chief cook
- purchasing agent
Formula for %yield
Yield (EP)/AP weight x 100
Purchasing-related forms
- purchase order form
- purchase requisition form
- inventory form
method where shipment is at state intervals or as needed over a period at company’s prices
spot contract
Process of par stock system
- establish a par stock for each item/item used on a daily basis
- check stock as of last inventory
- determine amount needed to reach par stock
purchased raw in its natural basic form
conventional foods
Which items require the establishment of product specifications
expensive or daily use food items
formula for amount to order
Max - inventory
what does failure in purchasing process lead to
high/increased costs or financial loss
example of perishable items
fruits, vegetables, eggs, MFP
T or F: convenience foods are usually more expensive
TRUE
items purchased as often as possible
perishables
written request to a vendor to sell goods or services to a facility

purchase requisition form
inventory system used for most items
mini-max system
What factors are assessed to determine correct purchasing
- quality
- quantity
- source
- time
- price
Consolidation of the total requirements of an ingredient within a period
minimum stock
Difference of PR and PO
PO: from food service to supplier
PR: within organization (between fs unit and purchasing unit)
items that spoil without refrigeration/cold storage
perishable items
characteristics of buyers
4 I’s
- integrity
- information
- intelligence
- interest

- bargaining/negotiation skills
Test that determines final portion cost as served plus evaluation of portion size and sensory attributed
cooked test
process of formal or competitive buying
- bid requests are issued to vendors
- bids are sealed opened only a designated date
- test samples are requested from qualified bidders
- contract is awarded to most responsible, responsive vendor with the most advantageous price
Two types of inventory systems
- par stock system
- mini-max system
What is determined/assessed in cooked test
- final portion cost
- portion size
- sensory attribute
Formula for % shrinkage
Shrinkage/Yield weight x 100
different multiple organizations arrange a single order
cooperative purchasing
