“…However, only a few links in a supply chain are using software for internal traceability, and the diversity of the system also makes the integration difficult (Bechini et al 2005). Implementing traceability system is preferred in large industry than small ones or rural areas.…”

i CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS FOR IMPLEMENTING TRACEABILITY SYSTEMS IN CHINESE FOOD ENTERPRISES MEIYIN MIAO ABSTRACTFood safety has always been the focus of worldwide attention. Chinese government has promulgated a series of initiatives, laws and regulations to implement the traceability systems since 2004. However, the implementation of traceability system (TS) in China faces many challenges which are creating major barriers to the traceability system implementation success. This research aims to identify critical success factors (CSF) for implementing TS in Chinese food enterprises. More specifically, the study attempts to develop a set of criteria of TS implementation success from theoretical and practical point of views and identify and propose a framework of critical success factors for TS implementation success.To achieve the research objectives, this research adopted both qualitative and quantitative approaches.

“…Simulation systems, prototypes, frameworks and data models have been researched to pilot emerging technologies and standards in recent years for enhancing existing quality management system with tracking and tracing functions or developing new traceability systems [2], [55], [56], [71]. Based on EPCIS (EPC Information Service) standards and framework, R. Wang et al have developed a proof-of-concept prototype to simulate processes of key food identification, data sharing within and across enterprises and tracking and tracing, in Auto-ID enabled frozen food chain [66]; M. Thakur et al introduce a new methodology for modeling and sharing food traceability information through aggregation, transition and integration of EPCIS events [63].…”

Abstract-Demands on safe, high-quality and healthy food are unprecedentedly increasing in both emerging economies and advanced countries. Food safety incidents and scandals, frequently breaking out around the world, are significantly reducing the confidence of consumers in food safety and quality. It is even more difficult to achieve the full transparency, visibility and traceability of dynamic cross-border and global food supply chains, which is critical to ensure food safety and quality, due to: the personalization and globalization of consumer demands; the diversities of food products, raw materials and ingredients; the loose relationships between food business partners; the technology and resource barriers in aligning business processes, coordinating and sharing information; and the changing government supervision mechanisms and standards. Social networking technologies and social software are promising enablers to facilitate end consumers, food companies and government agencies to participate in open discussion, comments and feedback on the quality and safety of cross-border foods. They are able to connect, interact, communicate and collaborate with each other in loose, open, effective and flexible ways for enhancing the transparency and visibility of cross-border and global food supply chains through collective wisdom and intelligence. In this paper a framework is proposed for developing social networks enabling food traceability systems, which not only leverages enterprise Manuscript received November 8, 2013.

Traceabilit y is an integral requirement in the agri food sector especiall y due to the perishable nature of food and the potential for health risks through transmission of bacteria. There are various traceabilit y s y stems that allow companies to keep track of their products both upstream and downstream.Radio Frequenc y Identification (RFID) is one such technolog y that facilitates eas y and automatic data collection. With the prolif eration of traceabilit y s y stems using different technologies, it becomes imperative for these s y stems to be able to interact with one another and be integrated into the compan y 's existing information infrastructure. This work aims to review the current research in this field with special emphasis on RFID s y stems. We also seek to identif y future areas of research in this field.
