Abstract

The article examines the specific features of implementing a quality management system in accordance with the requirements of DSTU ISO 9001:2015 in the operations of a young meat processing enterprise specializing in the production of high-protein snacks. The relevance of applying international standards in the food industry is substantiated, considering the need to harmonize national practices with global market requirements and to strengthen consumer trust. An analysis of the enterprise’s quality management system revealed several problematic aspects, including the absence of a quality policy, insufficient process formalization, lack of systematic risk monitoring, and no practice of internal audits. Based on this analysis, proposals were developed for the integration of quality management system elements, including a quality policy, a process interaction scheme, and an internal audit procedure. The proposed approaches are aimed at strengthening production task discipline, increasing process transparency, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. The expected results of implementing these measures include reduced production costs, stronger competitive positions, enhanced corporate image, and the creation of prerequisites for entering international markets. It is concluded that systematic implementation of ISO 9001 in the meat processing sector should be considered not only as a means of confirming product quality but also as a strategic tool for improving operational efficiency, oriented toward sustainable development and long-term market resilience.
