| Abstract [eng] |
The main purpose of this master thesis is to understand the impact of digitalization on the different efficiency aspects of the food safety management system. The Master thesis started with a deep scientific literature analysis to identify the different digital tools used for the food safety management systems and to look for the finding of existing papers concerning the efficiency of food safety management systems. Following this, the author carried out a qualitative research using interviews with experts representing companies that offer digital tools intended for the food safety management system, food safety auditors and quality managers of food industries who have presented answers to research questions. The performed research revealed that digitalization helps in improving the overall efficiency of the food safety management system through a strong traceability system across the food supply chain. Also by eliminating the waste of time or resources compared to the non-digitalized methods. The experts believe that this positive impact of digitalization on the efficiency of the food safety management system is moderated by some factors like the mindset of the management toward digital solutions and the resistance to change by the personnel. |
