Food Quality Management by Pieternel A. Luning,Willem J. Marcelis Pdf

Also available as E-book see food-quality-management For more information about the e-book, please contact Sales. Consumer understanding of food quality is crucial as their concerns for healthy, safe and sustainable food production remain high. This forces actors and stakeholders in the agribusiness and food industry to use quality management as a strategic approach in production and innovation. This book describes Food Quality Management (FQM) in one integrated concept. Firstly, all relevant aspects of food quality management are combined into one FQM-function model, which shaped the structure of the book chapters. Secondly, the authors have embedded the techno-managerial approach in the book. This approach starts with the notion that food quality is the outcome of the combined effect of food behaviour and human behaviour. The core principle of this approach is the concurrent use of technological and managerial theories and models to analyse food systems behaviour and people's quality behaviour and generate adequate improvements to the system. Topics covered in the book include food quality properties and concepts, essentials of quality management and food technology, and details about food and human behaviour. Furthermore, this book describes in detail the technological and managerial principles and practices in the five FQM functions, quality design, quality control, quality improvement, quality assurance, and quality policy and strategy. Moreover, for each function a special topic relevant for the function is highlighted, namely consumer-oriented design, product versus resource control, quality gurus and improvement, quality assurance standards and guidelines (like GMP, HACCP, ISO2200, IFS and BRC), and Total Quality Management. This publication is a must-have for students, researchers and agribusiness and food industry professionals active in various areas of food production in the supply chain. The integrated approach with technological and managerial principles and concepts for analysing food quality management issues makes this a valuable reference book.

Quality Planning and Assurance by Herman Tang Pdf

"Quality planning has been a fundamental industrial practice for several decades, yet there are few comprehensive quality planning textbooks dedicated to the understanding of this subject at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In the quality field, professionals often consider Toyota as a role model for best practices. While one can learn Toyota quality for its principles, its specific practices are not necessarily applicable for every situation. In The Toyota Way to Service Excellence, Dr. Liker and Ross stated, "the Toyota Way training was designed to teach principles rather than specific methodology" (p.32). Similarly, this book focuses on the fundamental principles of quality planning, and extrapolates on their applications in various industries throughout each chapter. For current and future quality professionals, you can start learning these principles, with supporting application examples in this book, and later apply them towards your unique applications. Like one of my students said, "What I enjoyed most about this course was taking the information learned in this course and being able to utilize it within the industry that I currently work in.""--
