A techno-managerial approach in food quality management research

A concurrent diagnosis of microbiological food safety output and food safety management system performance: Cases from meat processing industries

“…The criteria underlying riskiness are ambiguity and uncertainty, and vulnerability. Ambiguity in food quality management situations is due to the dynamic and complex mechanisms in food and human systems, combined with a lack of understanding of these mechanisms (Luning & Marcelis, 2006).Decision-makers are confronted with uncertainty due to a clear need for information combined with insufficient availability of specific information (systems) (Luning & Marcelis, 2006. A situation is vulnerable when products or production processes comprise risks (e.g.…”

Simulation modelling for food supply chain redesign; integrated decision making on product quality, sustainability and logistics

“…The design of Food Supply Chains (FSCs) is further complicated by an intrinsic focus on product quality Beulens 2002, Luning andMarcelis 2006) and demand for environmental sustainability (Hagelaar et al 2004, Srivastava 2007. The way in which food Also, apart from being a performance measure of its own, product quality is directly related to other food attributes like integrity and safety.…”

Assessment of Food Safety Management Systems in the global fresh produce chain

“…The assessment tool for FSMS in (fresh) produce has been developed in alignment with principles for analysis of FSMS considering both technological and managerial factors (Luning & Marcelis, 2006, 2009a. 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).…”
