Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food quality control and management has been an important issue since the time when ancient people dried meat, vegetables and fruits to be used in the next season. Over the years, people became more involved in the processing and production of safe and sustainable food items that brings better taste and quality to the consumer. But the fact is that the processing methods, the results and the way in which food was preserved for later use became even more complicated and sophisticated. One of the first preservation techniques used in ancient times was salting. Salt was used to reduce the risk of developing fungus and other microorganisms in food. Though, the lack of knowledge in microbiology and food pathology hindered the development of more techniques to preserve quality, texture, taste and aroma. For this reason, as the time passed, people started to develop new techniques that preserved food in it natural characteristics. It was studied how to control the decay process and how to improve the food quality by controlling various risk factors effectively. These methods were introduced with the help of increasing knowledge in the field of microbiology and biotechnology. The findings helped to develop different substances, methods and equipment to reduce the risks in preserved and packaged food. These techniques were useful for improving shelf life and for providing sustainable food items that stay healthy for a longer period of time. Nowadays, advancements in food quality and control have brought the innovative features of quality management that collect: management, checks, inspection and testing procedures. There is a great emphasis on managing the quality factor through multiple aspects and implementing the highest standards of HACCP and ISO so that consumers take safe and healthy food. The more recent developments are towards the environmentally friendly packaging and use of healthy methods to reduce risks to the ecosystem. This book covers all the basic concepts regarding the history, present practices and all the future possibilities affecting quality control in the food industry. This will help readers in the understanding of the importance of food quality control in the food industry and its evolution towards the highest standard of consumer-focused production.

Book excerpt: Risk Analysis is coming to medical laboratories. But for too many labs, Risk Analysis is a buzzword without meaning, an approach without defined technique. At worst, it threatens to appear like science while being implemented like guesswork. In this book, Dr. Westgard surveys the ISO standards, as well as published CLSI guidelines, and the long-established Joint Commission methodology for Proactive Risk Reduction. After providing an overview of the general Risk Analysis approach, Dr. Westgard explains how to adapt the principles for the medical laboratory, with performance-based tools and practical implementation tips: * Process maps, flowcharts and fishbone diagrams * Risk Acceptability matrices * Assessment of hazards through Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) * Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Actions System (FRACAS) * Six Sigma metric integration into Risk Analysis Using Six Sigma metrics, Dr. Westgard shows how Risk Analysis can be converted from qualitative and ephemeral to something more quantitative and concrete. When performance data informs Risk Analysis, the decisions become more relevant to medical laboratories and the patients they serve. Don't settle for arbitrary guesswork in your Risk Analysis. Combine the power of Six Sigma and Risk Analysis tools.
