1ABSTRACT Topic: Effectiveness of Waste Audit in Inventory and Waste Management for the Food Companies: A Case Study on Subway ABSTRACT The purpose of this research study is to explore the significance of waste audit and waste management in the food industry of New Zealand. To narrow down the research subject, Subway, the subs and salad restaurant, has been chosen as a case study. It has been noticed that the amount of waste is quite high in the food industry, and in New Zealand, the level of food and inventory waste is a serious concern for the government and the food industry. The incidences of food insecurity, malnutrition, hunger, poverty etc. are increasing quite rapidly across the world and hence, the sustainability in the food industry should be implemented. To achieve the sustainability, the primary step is to reduce the food and inventory waste and control that. Subway also faces the challenges of high amount of food and inventory waste, which not only affects the food production but also increases the cost of operations and reduces level of profit of the Subway outlets.Thus, through this research study, the effectiveness of waste audit and waste management will be evaluated. A research proposal has been prepared to provide an outline of the study to be carried out. The aim, objectives and the research questions are presented, followed by an extensive literature review and the methodology that would be adopted to conduct the study. The estimated cost and timeline are also proposed in the research proposal. A presentation is also provided that outline the background of the study, aim and objectives, scope of research, and brief of the findings from the literature review. The importance of food waste control is also discussed in the presentation along with examples of New Zealand and USA. Lastly, a summary of the findings from the
2ABSTRACT interview conducted on a manager and an employee of Subway is also presented in a tabular form. In the next part of the research, a detailed report will be prepared by analyzing the interview responses and secondary information to get to the conclusion of the study. Based on the findings, some recommendation will be provided to improve the efficiency of the waste audit and management system in Subway and reduce the amount of food waste.
