In many ways , planning , knowledge of computer systems , ultimately the work of the miller should be closely aligned to the economy , along with the maintenance manager , and the manager of the laboratory.
The miller should be aligned with the sectors of wheat purchase , quality, sales , transport , human resources and general manager of the factory.

DETERMINING blends WHEAT
The miller boss should determine mixtures of wheat to be milled , determining the precise amount for each type of wheat aligning with quality and price.
In small factories ( ie , up to 300 tons is not an easy task due to the price of the raw material ) and sometimes in the middle of the conditions of purchase of the mill.
The miller , on the other hand should be able to combine the costs and quality , and the value of the raw material can represent up to 80 % of the costs of the plant.
Basically , the miller boss is responsible for the production of high quality and , usually , for which a face mix is needed.
To meet the demands , and generating profitability for the mill, the miller must work to the fullest with the raw material to it, with a maximum percentage of extraction and with minimal energy consumption.
With the increase in technology , anyone who aspires to become a miller boss, you first need to have much experience with the general work of the mill, being prepared from the factory floor in the operational part , working with the raw material and knowing all the details process .
This kind of knowledge is invaluable , because with experience can make decisions as to the best use of a type of flour to do inside the mill.
MEET THE DEMANDS OF CLIENTS
Having the knowledge and practice of work on the shop floor it can work to meet the demand of their clients' products .
This can be difficult because the quality of the grain is not always constant due to changes in the genotype of wheat . Factors such as the gluten content and quality, falling number , grain hardness vary batch to batch .
PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
Daily miller boss must manage the millers and provide them with the daily schedule to meet production based on the products required for the sales department . The miller need to calculate the time needed rest to the flour before marketing it to give the flour time to mature .
Should always work with FIFO - First In , First Out - First product that produces should be the first out , it usually represents a period of two to three days .
The chief also oversees miller millers shift , so that they can meet the needs of demand and maintain all ongoing maintenance and technical work necessary for the proper conduct of proceedings .
To keep all the millers in rhythm miller boss should review the production planning and let them informed of any changes therein.
Daily miller boss must manage all documentation is completed by millers turn be updated as changes made and any technical problems encountered in the process , and be prepared to solve all that millers shift were unable to solve .
Should closely monitor plant performance , percentage of extraction out of flour , with the release of the same lab , etc. .
After each change in the diagram must ensure that plant performance is correct . If there is much difference between the desired and actual , then the miller must first seek a specialized study and then make a commitment to be the head miller .
These studies also include high level due to the need of the modern food industry mathematics , physics, knowledge of raw materials , acquiring this knowledge , need to adjust the mill until the desired values are achieved.
Sometimes , when there is wear on the grinding rolls , the miller boss has to change rolls .
A sign that the rolls must be changed when it becomes difficult to perform scraping bran or reduction of endosperm particles .
Sometimes , a low extraction rate occurs due to problems in system regulation . If this happens , miller's chief job is to identify the problem and solve it .
Maintain balance / gain grind .
The miller boss has to ensure that the production of flour is correct always meeting the customer's need . If a problem occurs , learn to manage the situation .
To ensure a good % gain in grinding , the miller boss must manage closely the % added water in the process and the rest time of the wheat because it has great impact on extraction efficiency RF energy efficiency .
Always be aligned with the quality manager checking what are the limits of moisture that can be achieved without affecting the shelf life of the product .
The miller must work to meet all market requirements in order to monitor data and make improvements , Fulfilling the standards for food production so that you can satisfy your customers . ( HACCP )
