“…Quality management in the food industry is particularly complicated because it involves the complex characteristics of food and their raw materials resulting from the variability of restricted shelf life. This study adopted the Luning and Marcelis [39] model of quality management designed for the food industry. Quality management consists of the following: (1) quality assurance, which addresses setting requirements in the quality system, evaluating and organizing change and making consumers confident that quality requirements will be met; (2) quality improvement, a systematic approach to improving a system by paying attention to structural causes and solutions; (3) quality design as a method to translate the voice of the customer into the technical requirements of products and processes; (4) quality control as a basic activity of food quality management to control variation within tolerable levels by taking corrective actions, while understanding that statistical process control, acceptance sampling, and visual inspection are used in quality control; and (5) a quality policy that determines long-term quality goals and objectives and how to achieve the same results through quality systems [40,41].…”

Currently, the environment and sustainability are important topics for every industry. The food industry is particularly complicated in this regard because of the dynamic and complex character of food products and their production. This study uses structural equation modeling (SEM) and a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to investigate which factors are suitable for evaluating the environmental performance of Thailand's food industry. A first-stage questionnaire survey was conducted with 178 managers in the food industry that obtained a certificate from the Department of Industrial Work of Thailand to synthesize the performance measurement model and the significance of the relationship between the indicators. A second-stage questionnaire measured 18 experts' priorities regarding the criteria and sub-factors involved in the different aspects and assessment items regarding environmental performance. SEM showed that quality management, market orientation, and innovation capability have a significantly positive effect on environmental performance. The FAHP showed that the experts were most concerned about quality management, followed by market orientation and innovation capability; the assessment items for quality policy, quality assurance, and customer orientation were of the most concern. The findings of this study can be referenced and support managerial decision making when monitoring environmental performance.

“…Until these barriers be resolved, HACCP system will not be effectively implemented throughout the whole food chain and it will not be able to reach its full potential as prerequisite for the international trade of foodstuffs (Panisello and Quantick, 2001;Eves and Dervisi, 2005). Future food quality management researches and analyses should therefore be focused on assessing, quantifying and modelling those technological and managerial factors that contribute to food quality, on the dynamic behavior of these factors, and on how this behavior can be conditioned (Luning and Marcelis, 2007). Luning et al (2008) also stated that quantitative studies should be carried out in different food sectors in order to get more in-depth and specific insight in the major factors influencing the effectiveness of food safety management systems.…”

“…It involves the assessment of core control and assurance activities, where both types of activities contribute to the system output (Luning & Marcelis, 2009a;Luning et al, 2008). Control activities are aimed at keeping product and process conditions within certain limits and assurance activities are focused on setting, evaluating and modifying the system (Luning & Marcelis, 2007).…”

Foodborne outbreaks appear to increase with more incidences linked to fresh produce and derived food products. This indicates inadequacies in Food Safety Management Systems (FSMSs), which are currently implemented in companies along the fresh produce chain. However, the information related to these inadequacies is restricted and little is known about the status of the FSMS. This paper describes the development of a tool for assessment of FSMS implemented in the fresh produce chain. The tool consists of indicators and grids to assess activities that are important for fresh produce, and the system output in terms of microbiological and chemical food safety (that is, pesticide residues and emerging mycotoxins). Three sets of indicators, one for each stage of the production chain (primary production, processing and trade), have been validated by experts and tested in companies. The tool enables an integral and comprehensive assessment of FSMS across the entire supply chain. Users of the tool can identify improvement opportunities and learn how to develop towards more advanced levels of activities. For research purposes differences in FSMS can be identified and linked to type of commodity, production system, country, etc.
