Keywords:
food industry, management efficiency, Lean Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, digital transformation, sustainable supply chain, foreign experience.Abstract
This article analyzes advanced foreign practices for improving management efficiency in food industry enterprises. The practical application of Lean Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, digital transformation, sustainable supply chains, and AI/IoT technologies is demonstrated using examples from major companies in the USA, European Union, Japan, and New Zealand (Gorton's Seafood, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Lerøy Seafood, Unilever, Fonterra). It is proven that these methods have enabled a 25-35% reduction in operating costs, 15-22% increase in production, 25% decrease in waste, and 22% reduction in carbon footprint. Practical recommendations are provided on adapting these experiences to Uzbekistan's conditions, including pilot projects, personnel training, government support, and implementation of international standards (HACCP, ISO 22000). By 2030, OEE is projected to reach 88%, exports to reach $2.5 billion, and energy savings to reach 25%.
