Applications of quality management systems in beer production enterprises

Abstract

The article clarifies certain issues related to the implementation of quality management systems in beer and soft drink companies, including in the process of harmonizing local legislative and regulatory requirements with European Community legislation. The divergences are analyzed, which appeared at different stages of implementation of the new standards, certain gaps related to the substitution of post-Soviet standards with international standards. The implementation of this model of production organization has faced certain reluctance, caused by the retroactive way of designing and treating processes. The key element, which reluctantly accepted the implementation of quality management systems, was the operator, which required a longer period, necessary for this phenomenon awareness. Continuous quality improvement has become applicable in terms of process and product quality control and monitoring only after the implementation of the KPI (Key Performance Indicators) system.
