Hygiene and Manufacturing Practices, Interagency Collaboration, and a Proposal for Improvement: A Case Study of Community Food Enterprise in Thailand

Sudarin Rodmanee and Wen-Chi Huang

Abstract—This study reports the current hygiene and manufacturing practices adopted in a women’s community enterprise (WCE) for processing an herbal seasoning product in Sakon Nakhon Province, Thailand. A multidisciplinary team comprised researchers and inspectors from government agencies was formed to conduct interviews and evaluations by using a good manufacturing practice (GMP) checklist. The results showed that the WCE did not pass the GMP standard. We formed an action plan to identify the requirements for GMP implementation. Non-compliance factors were delegated to each stakeholder for action and implementation. To achieve an action plan, the participation of every stakeholder is crucial.

Index Terms—Good manufacturing practices (GMP), inter-agency collaboration, community enterprise
