3. Objectives and challenges of a quality approach
In France, consumers are still very attached to the taste of foodstuffs, and innovations over the last few years have seen a return to "traditional" type products, as well as the proliferation of "health foods". But all these innovations can only be justified and developed if their production enables the company to remain competitive.
Competition from emerging countries, the ever-increasing demands of customers, the need to reduce production costs, and changes in regulatory and standards requirements are prompting manufacturers to develop methods for designing and operating production tools (equipment, workshops, lines, factories) to guarantee the manufacture of products that comply with all the quality objectives defined by the company to meet consumer tastes, regulatory constraints and increased operating efficiency.
