Figure 1. Functional model of the production as a quality management system
The management of the external and internal communications which can be direct
and inverse, the detection of causation among them, ensures the efficiency of the
functioning of the system by reducing the risk of the probability of occurrence of the
inconsistencies during its operation.
Due to the existing horizontal and vertical connections, the subsystem of
technology in the production system can not be considered separately from other
subsystems. Given its complexity, it is expedient to decompose and consider it as a
separate integral system with internal connections.
The developed model of the subsystem of technology of the frozen fruit and
vegetable products (Figure 2) indicates that it is not a set of its components, but is a
qualitatively new organization with straight and inverse links.
In the technology subsystem the factors of influence are grouped into groups:
controlled, random, and restrictive.
The controlled factors include those that can be traced, monitored and effective to
achieve the ultimate goal of ensuring the quality of the finished products. These are:
variety, quality, safety of the raw materials, duration of its storage prior to freezing,
storage conditions, methods of processing the raw materials (chemical processing,
blanching, cleaning and cutting), temperature parameters of freezing, kind of packing
materials, storage conditions.
