Background of the Study
The food processing industry plays a pivotal role in Nigeria’s economy, providing essential products for both domestic consumption and export. However, the industry faces numerous challenges, including inefficiency in production processes, inconsistent product quality, and high operational costs. Olam Rice Mill in Nasarawa State, a leading rice producer, faces similar challenges in optimizing its production processes to meet increasing demand while maintaining product quality.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered process optimization offers a transformative solution to these challenges. By using AI algorithms to analyze production data, AI can predict and optimize production schedules, reduce waste, improve supply chain management, and enhance product consistency. Moreover, AI can detect anomalies, automate repetitive tasks, and optimize resource allocation, leading to more efficient operations and reduced costs.
This study explores how AI-powered process optimization can enhance operational efficiency at Olam Rice Mill, Nasarawa State. It assesses the impact of AI technologies on production outcomes, cost reduction, and overall competitiveness in the food processing industry.
Statement of the Problem
Despite its success, Olam Rice Mill, Nasarawa State, faces significant challenges in optimizing its production processes. Traditional methods of operation are inefficient and unable to meet the growing demand for quality rice. AI-powered process optimization presents an opportunity to address these inefficiencies, but its application in the food processing sector remains underexplored. This study examines how AI can improve process optimization at Olam Rice Mill.
