Cost-Benefit-Analysis of Quality- and Traceability Systems in Supply Chains of Animal Products
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a result of new EU regulations (regulation (EC) 178/2002) and the efforts of food retailers to avoid future food scandals, a qualityand traceability system (IT FoodTrace) along the supply chain of animal products will be established. Enterprises, authorities and other stakeholders will therefore face additional costs, which might result in their rejecting the new quality and traceability system. However, actors in the supply chain will receive benefits from the IT FoodTrace project, which are difficult to localize and even harder to quantify. Statements regarding the profitability and efficiency of the IT FoodTrace project can only be made with reservations. However, this is crucial to building acceptance of the program. Therefore the main objective of this research project is to carry out a cost-benefit-analysis that will focus on profitability and acceptability. This project is part of the BMBF-funded joint project IT Food Trace, in collaboration with IBM.
