Tiivistelmä
This study explores the logistical flows of film catering, and identify the risks therein in Finland. The aim is to identify possible risks in film catering, and present solutions for their management and mitigation. Film catering can be defined as the process of providing the film crews of movies, TV series and commercial productions with their food during the filming of their projects.
This study is based on both theoretical and practical issues that help caterers with their job task.
The main research question is “What are the risks in the logistical chain of film catering, and how are they managed and mitigated?”. The sub questions are: “What is the risk management process in logistical chains?”, “What are the differences between the logistical flows in commercial film caterings, TV series caterings and movie film caterings?”, “What trends are coming up in film catering and how do they affect the risk management?”
In order to answer the research questions, there is a theoretical section in this thesis to explain the different concepts. The information in the empirical part is collected from books about catering in general and about movie making. Part of the information is also collected by interview. The risks are analyzed by with the help of Pareto analysis matrix..
The findings show that there are various risks that affect all three logistical flows, and the main mitigation solution for them is to have a good information flow between all parties during the prodcution. Food trucks are also an upcoming trend that reduces product and material risks.
