Resumo (PT): In this paper, the main complexities related to the modelling of production planning problems of food products are addressed. We start with a base model and build a roadmap on how to incorporate key features of food production planning. The different “ingredients” are organized around the model components to be extended: constraints, objective functions and parameters. We cover issues such as expiry dates, customers’ behaviour, discarding costs, value of freshness and age-dependent demand. To understand the impact of these “ingredients”, we solve an illustrative example for each model and analyse the changes on the solution structure of the production plan.
