Journal of Information Systems Engineering and Management, 6(2), em0139. https://doi.org/10.29333/jisem/9671 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Published: 4 Feb. 2021 The average rate of fruit and other fresh food products that perishes during transport varies between 10 and 25%. This volume of losses justifies the need for quality control means. Under the Software as a Service (SaaS) paradigm, the Real-Time Logistic Monitoring (RTLM) system aims to respond to this problem through real-time monitoring of the conditions in which the fruit is transported. The RTLM project integrates a responsive web application, a monitoring services system, an Extract, Transform & Load (ETL) engine, a set of integrated services through sensor plugins developed with Arduino technology, and a Grafana dashboard instance. Keywords: real-time logistic monitoring, cloud computing, SaaS, arduino sensors prototype, web responsive application, dashboards, HACCP, ISO 22000:2018 INTRODUCTION Context and Motivation The analysis of data provided by the Portuguese National Statistics (INE) and Transports and Mobility (IMT) Institutes, allows the conclusion that by 2018 there were 387 054 vehicles providing road transportation of fresh food products every day (INE, 2019) (IMT, 2018).

The fully revised 2018 version of ISO 22000, first published in 2005, works to reduce this by helping food organizations implement a food safety management system that defends against the potential hazards and risks that lead to contamination.

INTRODUCTION In June 2018 the revised version of ISO 22000 has been published. This is the first revision since the original publication of the standard in 2005. All ISO 22000:2018 requirements are mandatory requirements for all scopes of FSSC 22000. To support the users of FSSC 22000 this interpretation document has been developed to provide guidance for the most important changes in the new version and for the implementation of HACCP to ensure an effective food safety management system. This document does not replace the ISO 22000 requirements and is not pretending to be the “only truth”. The document aims to achieve a higher level of standardization and harmonization for all organizations that are currently certified for FSSC 22000 or want to be certified in future and for organizations involved in the certification process. This interpretation document does not cover all ISO 22000:2018 requirements but focusses on the two significant changes: • Alignment on ISO High Level Structure which brings new structure and new management system requirements in relation to risk-based thinking at organizational level. • Elevation of OPRPs closer to CCPs into the ‘Hazard control plan’ in place of HACCP plan, with clarification of the requirement for the categorization and management of both two types of hazard control measures. Another significant change is the control of externally provided processes, products and services, including externally developed elements of the food safety management, but they are not addressed here (see clauses 7.1.5 and 7.1.6 of ISO 22000:2018).

The aim of this study is to analyze the applicability of ISO 22000 FSMS standards for food and beverage companies, which have ISO 22000 FSMS Certificate in İzmir/Turkey. For the research part of the study, 8 quality and hygiene managers of food and beverage companies which have ISO 22000 certificate in İzmir were asked selected questions. Thus, face-to-face interviews (semi-structured interview) were conducted to see manager’s opinions. The obtained data were analyzed through content analysis method. The results of the study showed that each company confronted with some, small problems about the applicability of ISO 22000. However, the managers of food and beverage companies primarily believed the usage of ISO 22000. Then, they could easily apply this system as a result of constructing the infrastructure (stores, kitchen area, etc.) and superstructure (training, personnel, etc.) structures by using required resources.

Many factors including, the lack of personnel hygiene, poor sanitary conditions and improper manufacturing practices during the production, packaging or any other step of the food chain can lead to food unsafety. The consequences of unsafe food can lead to serious health problems for the consumer; thus, the adequate control throughout the food chain is essential. All parties participating in the food chain should give their complete effort to ensure food safety. ISO 22000 is an industry specific risk management system standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization. It outlines food safety management system requirements for any organization in the food chain. The standard is applicable to all organizations, regardless of their size and type, that stand within the food chain range, from feed producers and primary producers through food manufacturers, transport and storage operators, subcontractors to retail and food service outlets (together with inter-related organizations such as producers of equipment, packaging material, cleaning agents, additives and ingredients).
