Description
Summary:In order to find an efficient alternative for the implementation of a food safety management system (SGIA) that is related to the small and medium-sized food companies (SMEs) of our country, a case study and a survey of 100 food SMEs in Panama. A methodological model is proposed using three basic pillars: minimum concepts of human resource management, a project engineering tool and good hygienic practices (BPH) as part of all SGIA. The development of the first pillar is presented, in which the concept of safety culture is pointed out as a key component of the strategic plans for implementing management systems. As part of the model, the main challenges facing the staff were evaluated and the minimum requirements that a Human Resources Department must have were identified, which, once adequate, allow companies to achieve success in terms of quality and safety.
