“…However, most design engineers do not receive formal training in safety methodologies (such as FTA and FMEA) common to the safety community, and many product safety tools are not systematically implemented by the design community (Main & Frantz, 1994;Main & McMurphy, 1998). Safety management tools and DFS are considered important, but the effectiveness of hazard analysis is still unclear (Marucheck et al, 2011).…”

Design-for-Safety (DFS), and product safety performance. We propose that the underlying assumption of safety first affects the espoused values (group level product safety culture at NPD) and artefacts of organizational culture (Concurrent Engineering and Design-for-Safety); espoused value influences artefacts; and artefacts impact product safety performance. These hypotheses are tested by structural analyses of 255 survey responses collected from 126 firms in the juvenile product sector. While management commitment to safety, product safety culture, andDesign-for-Safety are significant product safety predictors, as expected, Concurrent Engineering has no significant direct effect on product safety. We discuss the implications of these findings for the field of product safety.

“…The technologies used to increase the storage time and to ensure the safe consumption of highly perishable products, such as meat, have undergone a continuous evolution over the time [13][14][15]. Besides, the difusion of active packaging, systems capable of interacting dynamically with the food and/or with the atmosphere in order to save the healthiness of the product and to extend its shelf life, is increasing [16].…”

Urgent need of increased food production and availability are crucial in humankind future. A key aspect concerns the food preservation, wherein packaging is a main aspect. Packaging is still in a primitive form, utilized as a way to separate food from environmental conditions, not considering the inside situation. Improvement of packaging means less cost, more food available, and waste decrease. Several solutions are emerging to face this challenge. They are focused on three aspects: the antimicrobial agent; the packaging material; and the technological implication in the inal production of packaging. Biotechnology is expected to play a central role in the future food to solve central points, as retain integrity and actively prevent food spoilage. In this phase, several projects are moving, still waiting to converge in adequate products. The galaxy of smart packaging is rapidly moving and increasing in researches. This phase represents a chaotic period of several proposals production and tentative in solving the food preservative problems, using new technologies and advanced techniques, like nanotechnology. Waiting the collapse into a central paradigm, it is interesting and useful to follow the scenario of researches on smart packaging based on natural products here reported.

“…External aspects were identified by comparing the existing processes to the current national regulation and international best practices as described in [9]. Based on this information, opportunities for improvement were defined as possible actions to be carried out based on compliance of certain aspects denoting the possibility to increase the capacity to meet the requirements or improve the performance of the RSRAT alert response process.…”

--One of the operational risks to which a Health Care Provider (HCP) is exposed is the receiving and use of products such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices that could become subject to a health alert. This patient safety issue has to be managed in order to prevent and mitigate adverse events at the last echelon of the supply chain. This article aims to expose a characterization of the alerts response process at the HCP level based on a review of the literature. Additionally, local regulations, strengths and weaknesses were identified. Finally, the study allowed for the identification of the principal opportunities and barriers that should be addressed in order to integrate the recall management process within and outside the HCP. Among these opportunities is traceability along the supply chain, and among the barriers is the high investment in the technology required to facilitate supply chain integration.Keywords --Health Care Provider, alert, recall, traceability, supply chain. Barreras y oportunidades en la gestión de retiro de productos farmacéuticos en las instituciones proveedoras de saludResumen--Uno de los riesgos operacionales a los que está expuesto un Proveedor de Atención Médica (HCP por sus siglas en inglés) es la recepción y uso de productos farmacéuticos y dispositivos médicos que podrían estar sujetos a una alerta de salud. Este problema de seguridad del paciente tiene que ser manejado con el fin de prevenir y mitigar los eventos adversos en el último escalón de la cadena de suministro. Este artículo pretende exponer una caracterización del proceso de respuesta de alertas desde el HCP basado en una revisión de la literatura. Además, se identificaron la normativa local, fortalezas y debilidades. Finalmente, el estudio permitió identificar la principales oportunidades y barreras que se deben abordar para integrar el proceso de gestión de retiro de productos dentro y fuera del HCP. Entre estas oportunidades está la trazabilidad a lo largo de la cadena de suministro, y entre las barreras está la alta inversión en la tecnología requerida para facilitar la integración de la cadena de suministro.
