Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point is a food safety management system designed to ensure the safe production and packaging of food. The HACCP process (Table 1) has both strengths and limitations. It provides a systematic and effective method to analyze a process, and identifies potential biological, chemical and physical hazards that can occur in food. In addition, HACCP requires the development of strategies to prevent the inclusion or reduction of these hazards to an acceptable level in the food.
Today's manufacturer faces an era where the problem is no longer one of not being able to collect enough data on manufacturing processes, but how to effectively use the massive volume of data collected. It is generally accepted that process based manufacturing intelligence is the best path to effective manufacturing enterprise management.
