Analyzing quality management status Quo and relationship of food industry in China

摘要

Using ISO9000 series standards and the excellence performance model of China, we design a survey questionnaire to investigate quality management status quo of food industry in China. Through questionnaire investigation and statistical analyses, we find the quality management status quo of large-scale enterprises are better than that of medium-scales and small-scales, while medium-scale enterprises are better than small-scale ones in many aspects. Moreover, we analyze the relationships among system factors, processes factors and results factors, then find that the most important factors for food industry in China to improve product quality are ‘leadership’, ‘basic management’, ‘information and measurement’, ‘design and development’, ‘manufacturing and inspection’ and ‘distribution and service’. We also find that the ‘distribution and service’ is the only factor that affects product quality directly. For food safety respect, the improvement scopes are to enhance government supervision, communicate safety information among food supply chains, and reprimand illegal behavior rigorously.
