FOOD QUALITY MANAGEMENT BASED ON QUALIMETRIC METHODS

Fusing best international and local quality management and control practices is one of the most effective ways to gain competitive advantage. Among other things, this includes implementing "customer focus" and "factual decision-making", the key principles of Universal Quality Management, through qualimetric models. The authors have identified qualimtric models with the best quality management potential across the food processing industry, at different product life cycle stages. They especially emphasize the potential of applying qualimetric forecast to food quality and safety. The authors have identified the main stages of product quality metrics forecasting to predict and achieve the desirable food quality in the most effective way possible. The proposed methods are a combination of qualifying methods and world’s best quality management tools and techniques. With the example of quality management in curd products at the development stage the authorship points out the indicators defining product quality and safety, ranks value in building product quality, gives a math formula to describe product quality and an algorithm to assess product quality based on a comprehensive quality indicator and deduce recommendations to achieve desirable and predictable product properties. The proposed stages of qualimetric forecasting, based on the integration of qualimetric models in quality management, have been tested on some curd products in production and proven to be practically effective

Risk analysis within the production process of fish preserves

One of the primary tasks for today is the production of high quality and safe products according to the legislation of Russian Federation. There are a number of risks within the production process. The common problem is the heat treatment process. This problem is for fish preserves. Such products can classify as perishable. It is necessary to carefully approach the choice of raw materials and compliance with all technological regimes. Since there is always the possibility of various dangers. In order to minimize dangerous factors, it is important to use a quality method with identifying the most important of them for factors matrix for production process of fish preserves proposed to develop a diagram of quality and safety indicators and identify the most important of them for further use to form a matrix of technological factors that have a direct impact on quality and safety indicators in the production of fish preserves
