Clinicians diagnose thyroid dysfunction based on TSH and FT4 testing. However, the current lack of comparability between assays limits the optimal use of laboratory data. The International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) gave a mandate to the Committee for Standardization of Thyroid Function Tests (C-STFT) to resolve...
Purpose: Recent literature emphasizes the application of lean manufacturing practices to food processing industries in order to improve operational efficiency and productivity. Only a very limited number of studies have focused on the implementation of lean manufacturing practices within Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) operating in the fo...
The quality concepts represent one of the important factors for the success of organizations and among these concepts the stabilization of the production process contributes to the improvement, waste reduction and increased competitiveness. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the production process of solid wood flooring on its predictability and ca...

Stakeholders entail increasing demands on food safety management systems (FSMS) stimulating ongoing efforts of companies to progress to more advanced systems. However, the actual microbiological food safety (FS) output is not only a result of the performance of an FSMS, but it also depends on the system's context. Based on the assumption that compa...
