Food packaging is a crucial part of our current lifestyle. It is important to improve the quality of food packaging from time to time, catering to the needs of modern consumers. Despite huge technical advancements, the food packaging sector is still facing several problems and challenges which need to be addressed, to facilitate better packaging. The purpose of this chapter is to enhance the quality of food packaging and to come up with more innovative ideas and methods based on various tools of quality. Various approaches based on new (N7) and basic (B7) tools of quality namely cause and effect diagram, inter-relationship diagram, and affinity diagram have been applied to understand and eliminate the root causes of the various problems being faced by the key supply chain players in the food packaging industry. The results of the study show that the problem does not lie in the methods or techniques applied but in perspective and inclination of the management and key players of the food packaging supply chain towards the quality.

Plastic is one of the most used materials in the food packaging industry and is essential to food processing [1]. Its global use is mainly because of its versatility, lightness, high mechanical strength, low cost, and consumer-friendliness. Moreover, plastic accomplishes the primary purpose of food packaging which is, maintaining the safety from hazards and quality of food [2]. But plastic waste is one of the biggest environmental problems today and one of the largest contributors comes from the food packaging industry [3]. To solve these problems or at least reduce them requires the cooperation of government, society, industry, and science. The government must create the strategic plans and the financial incentives, the scientific community, with the funds, will develop the alternative products which are then mass-produced by the industry towards the society that will use the alternative products. Without one of these sectors, the whole problem will not be tackled efficiently. Strategic plans for this problem already exist, such as the European strategy for plastics reduction and the scientific community over the last few years has presented several alternatives to replace plastics [4]. The plastic industry, nowadays, is keen on changing their production of plastic to renewable and biodegradable polymers from natural resources thanks to the incentives from the government, and society is more aware of the problem than ever in history and is trying to make some real change, after all, we don’t have a planet B.

Abstract. Today's society has entered the era of big data, and the quality of surveying and mapping results has become the focus of government departments. As the statistical results of other industries, surveying and mapping results as one of the basic data sources provide data support for government decision-making, The status of surveying and mapping projects is constantly improving. This article introduces the ISO9001 quality management system implemented by the surveying and mapping production unit, the CMA quality management system implemented by the surveying and mapping quality inspection unit, and the first-level acceptance system for the two-level inspection of surveying and mapping products. Through the cause and effect diagram, taking the quality control of the fundamental geographical conditions monitoring of the national major surveying and mapping project as an example, the use method of the core tool 5M1E (Man, Machine, Material, Methods, Measurement, Environment) in the quality management system is demonstrated to prove that the quality management system plays an important role in the project. Provide reference experience for peers.

The development of edible films and coatings has seen remarkable growth in recent decades and is expected to have an important impact on the quality of food products in the coming years. This growth is attributed to the increasing knowledge of edible films and edible coating technology, as well as advances in material science and processing technology. Packaging is used in order to reduce synthetic packaging and can play a role as an eco-friendly biodegradable package or a protective coating on the food surface. A large amount of bio-based polymers have been used in the production of edible films and coatings. Novel sources of edible materials, as well as the novel processing techniques, are a subject of great interest due to their promising potential as innovative food packaging systems. This paper presents the concept and potential for application of new film-forming materials and management of food wastes from the fruit and vegetable industry, which can encounter problems in appropriate disposal. It summarizes the extensive knowledge about the new film-forming materials such as plant residues, flours and gums to show their protective effectiveness and suitability in various types of foods.

AbstractRecent media and consumer interest in the quality of food purchased in supermarkets and other outlets, is placing pressure on the agricultural industry to improve the quality of the product produced. The farmer has in the past been encouraged to produce quantity irrespective of quality, whereas today the emphasis is very much on the latter, with pressure to reduce quantity. Companies supplying the farming community must react to this changed situation, particularly if they are to be able to administer due diligence under the Food Safety Act.Dalgety Agriculture has thus embarked upon a quality initiative throughout the company involving training of staff on total quality management, registration of premises with the British Standards Institute under BS 5750 scheme and the adoption of the hazard analysis using critical control points (HACCP) technique to evaluate the areas of the company's operations where faults could most easily occur. The company has concluded that an approach to quality must be all-embracing involving all facets of our operations. The aim is to aid the company's farming customers in the attainment of a quality product for the customer of that farm.

Service Quality Management

Due to advancement of technology and globalization, the organizations are giving more importance to the supply chain integration, taking support from logistics service providers (LSPs) and practice several initiatives in direction of sustainability. The assets, processes and performance capabilities of LSPs can be used as an indicator to comprehend and evaluate effective and sustainable service quality management. In this article, there is an attempt to understand and analyse all important components required by LSPs to serve their customers with best quality of services. A comprehensive framework is proposed for evaluating the services of logistics providers. The services are evaluated on the basis of LSPs assets, processes, service quality attributes and sustainable performance parameters. A case study on Indian logistics service provider is taken to support the proposed framework in a real scenario. The assets and processes in context to given case organization are discussed in detail. The service quality index is also evaluated for estimating the quality of services of firm by taking inputs from their customers. After discussing service quality analysis, the performance analysis is done along with SWOT Analysis. Findings of the study will help professionals in developing appropriate strategies for effective and sustainable supply chain management.
