Quality Control

Currently, the demands on the food industry for safety and security are increasing day by day.


Things that previously would not have been treated as a problem as long as the law was followed can now become problematic depending on how consumer voices spread due to the spread of social media, and there are many cases in which this has affected the survival of a company.


Large food manufacturers are responding to public demand by investing large amounts of money in equipment and facilities, but this remains a difficult task for financially strapped small and medium-sized enterprises.

Improving quality control levels is a challenge that all companies must address, but if a company finds itself in a situation where it has to strengthen its quality control system only to find that its productivity has dropped significantly, it will be difficult to continue its business.

Even in a situation where "if you do not meet the demands of your current customers, business will be terminated," it would be counterproductive if the costs of quality control were to exceed the profits you could gain from those customers.

What small and medium-sized enterprises need today is a balance between safety and productivity.

It is important to obtain certifications such as ISO to improve quality control systems, but if your company meets the safety standards required by its customers without obtaining such certification, it may not be necessary.

Investing the money and time that would have been spent on acquisition in improving productivity will increase profits.

There are various ways of thinking about risk, but the method known as "risk management," in which risks are evaluated from the perspectives of "frequency of occurrence" and "impact," then the "risk level" is calculated from the product of these, and measures are considered according to that level, is a necessary method regardless of the size of the company.

Even if you obtain an ISO or similar, it is meaningless if you do not execute it.

Why not try to understand the level of quality control that is appropriate for your company by utilizing various methods such as risk management, and work to ensure that this level is implemented?

Management should take the lead in determining the balance between safety and productivity, and all employees should work together to maintain a high level of quality control.
