We got very good learning of biscuit, cookies puff manufacturing as the desinging of any product cannot be in the isolation. This visit was necessary for us as we had many ideas about the kind of biscuit/cookies to look upon for the project. From my experience in the related field, I was aware that the implementing an idea on commercial scale is quite different due to number of constraints in the operating system. We also got the same feedback from the Nilgiri factory about the difference in body and texture of the biscuit demanded by the market VS what they manufacture.
We have also seen the manufacturing condition of the plant. Nilgiri is making basic stuff while we have came up with lot of value addition in our biscuit. As are also looking for the real fruit, nuts, where the perishability will be the major issue and hence we need to focus on improving the shelf life of raw materials by maintaining the hygienic condition.
