Abstract

By introducing new international standards into management systems, most enterprises obtain recognition by the market participants relative to different aspects of their activity. At the same time, problems with the enterprise units management arise rather often. The primary intent of this research is identifying the technical approaches aimed at creating an integrated Quality Management System (QMS) for the food enterprise, which reflects the branch specificity and is based on international standards ISO 9000 and HACCP principles. The paper presents the possible benefits for the food industry originating by the introduction of an integrated QMS based on the analysis carried-out analysis on modern QMS trends. Additionally we present the generalized results of the researches conducted on the "Process model of Raimbek Agro Company". Finally, a technique for the assessment of productivity and continuous improvement of QMS is developed. Originality/value: the developed technique for productivity assessment and continuous improvement of QMS allows to establish causal relationships between planned and reached results, thus highlighting the effects. The introduction of an Integrated Quality Management System (IQMS) will enable the enterprise to meet the present-day market requirements and to ensure the competitive goods production.

Regulatory Impact Analysis Roles for Agricultural Products’ Qualities: Customers’ Perspectives for Sustainability Entrepreneurship

“…This was demonstrated by creating common networking sites where farmers will always project quality productions and the consumers' willingness to patronize such products provided they are eco-friendly ones (Corsi and Mazzocchi, 2019). Other groups of researchers propagated that integrating quality management systems will enable various enterprises to enhance striving towards meeting up with modern days' market necessities and also embrace healthy rivalries for better productions (Akhmetova et al, 2017).
