Design of an integrated supply chain model for supporting traceability of dairy products

An efficient traceability system must follow some rules that define which data must be gathered and stored in each stage of the supply chain. This is achieved by data standardization and typification of the messages that enable storing and communication of the data. By establishing and modelling these concepts, we developed a model that supports traceability in the food supply chain. The reference model presented in this paper consists of three distinct phases that represent stages of real-life supply chains, and is the basis for the development of a web application for traceability management in the dairy sector.
