Making profit with traceability and improved Quality Management in agro-food chains along the Dutch German Border

Effective quality management in the agro-food industry depends on traceability to enable knowledge- and information exchange between the various links of a production chain. It improves productivity, leads to better consumer care and reduces risks. Practical solutions for its support within food chains leave ample room for improvement. Analysis of the supply chains in the food industry shows that even today the boundaries of businesses, production stages and countries still arbitrarily separate quality management activities that are interdependent on each other. The international association GIQS develops a tool box of IT systems that support chain oriented quality management in food chains of Germany and the Netherlands.
