traceability in fish supply chains Tmas Hafliason Field trial - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

www.chill-on.com Operation of field trials and follow up activities to test functionality of technologies to improve quality, safety and traceability in fish supply chains Tómas Hafliðason Field trial operator, CHILL-ON 4th International Workshop "Cold-Chain-Management" September 27-28, 2010, Bonn, Germany

Content www.chill-on.com • CHILL-ON project • Preperation of field trials • Communication in field trials • Risk assessment during the trials • Follow up activities after the trials

CHILL-ON Consortium 25 partners from 12 countries www.chill-on.com Duration: 4 years (July 2006 - June 2010 => ext. Dec 2010) Total budget: 15,6 Mio. € EC contribution:10,1 Mio. € Coordinator: ttz Bremerhaven Intergrated project, FP6, Food Quality and Safety

Validation of CHILL-ON technologies in field trials www.chill-on.com CHILL-ON technologies Supply chains: – a holistic concept – Poultry – stand alone technologies • Germany • Italy Status – Prototypes - still in the • Brazil testing phase – Fish – Ready for • Cod IS-> FR implementation • Salmon, CSS NO-> FR – Commercial products • Hake - Chile • Tilapia - China

Mapping www.chill-on.com • Important for background information • Temperature • Locations • Processes • Explore full dynamics of the chain • Create local contacts • Explore boundaries of the chain

Overview www.chill-on.com • 15 – 20 operators in the chain • Different motivation in the supply chain • Some legs of the supply chains are broken further down – Logistics – Processing – Fishing

Communication www.chill-on.com Internal External

Internal communication www.chill-on.com Challenges Food industry • Cultural barriers Different countries • Language barriers Different scientific • Lack of understanding disciplines • Isolation R&D Technology • Competition - IPR Authorites Industrial partners • Motivation providers • Committment • Preparation for field trials • Implementation and validation of technologies • Integration, communication • Complementary motives and mutual benefits of partners

“Whispering game” www.chill-on.com

Risk process www.chill-on.com • Very important part • Was not only nice piece on a pice of paper • Live document iterated every time • Contingency plans were frequently used

Step Analysis and Action Points - SAAP www.chill-on.com Implementing technologies in field trials risk based approach Conduct Determine Establish Establish Establish Establish Establish risk action critical record monitoring corrective verification keeping analysis points limits procedures actions procedures procedures • Adapt the 7 steps of HACCP methodology • Analyse risks in the process of implementing technologies • Evalute all obstacles / Risk Assessment /Action points  SAAP – based on preventive measures

Establishment of Standard Operation Procedures (SOP) and TOR - Field trials scenarios www.chill-on.com Preventive measures Step... Partner Responsibility Document Step CHILL-ON reference documents Retail Storage Step Transport Step Processing Step Catching Step Analysis and Action Points SAAP • Assessment of the chains  Flow charts, process description,  Temperature mapping TOR – Field Trial Scenarios • SOPs for technologies /Application sheets Experimental design • Allocation of technologies in each link Validation goals • Risk assessment - Contingency plans

Example of risks www.chill-on.com • Backup of systems • Local communication • Lack of products • Participation of partners

Follow up process www.chill-on.com • Errors, events, fails, faults, ideas and etc registered during the trials. • Carefully filed – Linked to partner – Linked to process • Each run between – 30 – 100 records – 50 -100 pages of document • All communication was registered – During and after

Conclusions www.chill-on.com • Mappings – not only for basic observation • Communication – internal and external • Communication – formal and informal • Importance of follow up after the trials
