...Chapter One General Introduction This chapter aims at introducing our study of the control of the tomato yellow leaf curl disease. It includes an overview of the historical of tomato cultivation and Tomato yellow leaf curl disease in Somalia. It presents the research problem and hypothesis and set objectives as well as the limitations of the study and its significance to the academic writers and to the university. Chapter One General Introduction 1.1Origin of Tomato Cultivation in Somalia All basic cultivated plants were probably derived from wild species. Cultivated plants have undergone extensive modifications from their wild prototypes as a result of the continuous efforts to improve them. The difference between cultivated and wild types are largely in their increased usefulness to humans, due to such factors as yield, quality and reduced shattering of seeds. Through the centuries, people selected from many thousands of plant species the few were most satisfactory to their needs and which, at the same time, were amenable to culture. Primitive people were masters in making these selections, and modern times have added little of basic importance. There is a scientific hypothesis that in order to find where a food crop originated in the world, you should look for the area where there is the most diversity of that crop growing in the wild. Applying this idea to the tomato, scientists conclude the mountains of Peru in North America were the birth place...

...PERFORMANCE SUPPLY CHAIN SUPPLY CHAIN THE &THE VS. HYPE REALITY 46 SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT REVIEW · SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2001 www.scmr.com The conventional wisdom is that competition in the future will not be company vs. company but supply chain vs. supply chain. But the reality is that instances of head-to-head supply chain competition will be limited. The more likely scenario will find companies competing— and winning—based on the capabilities they can assemble across their supply networks. By James B. Rice, Jr. and Richard M. Hoppe A n increasingly vocal and popular sentiment holds that the nature of competition in the future will not be between companies but rather between supply chains. If this does, in fact, represent the future, how will these chains actually compete against each other? And what can practitioners do now in anticipation of this future? In contemplating the much-ballyhooed supply chain vs. supply chain (SC vs. SC) proposition, we first sought examples of this competition in action. Yet for as many examples of SC vs. SC competition that we found, there were at least as many places where the model didn’t fit. On the one hand, we saw vivid examples where one company or a series of companies had designed supply networks to act with singular focus against other unique companies or groups of companies—for example, Brax, Perdue Farms, and Tyson Foods. Yet more often, we found a different kind of competitive scenario playing out, as in the...

...2013 Pest Management Standards For Food Plants i INTRODUCTION T he National Pest Management Association is pleased to release the 2013 Pest Management Standards for Food Plants. Since 2007, these standards have been the cornerstone of NPMA’s Commercial Division activities. Of note in the 2013 revision is the move away from prescriptive instructions regarding placement and monitoring frequency of pest management devices. Instead, a more results-oriented approach to pest management, based on pest trends, inspection observations, and professional knowledge is embraced. As stated in previous editions, these standards also do not preempt local, state, provincial, and/ or federal regulations. Any service provided must comply with government regulations or statutes governing pest management, safety, and food protection. In addition, food plants may have requirements more stringent than these standards. By embracing these standards, pest management firms demonstrate the industry’s role as protectors of food and property. In addition to these standards, a comprehensive online testing site can be found at www.npmatesting.com. This website includes the study guide and other resources noted in the standards. Through this site, NPMA is working to provide the tools necessary for pest management firms to comply with the standards and raise the level of competency of pest management professionals servicing food plants. We hope that you find these standards to be a...

...Analysis of the Smackey Dog Foods, Inc. Audit AC555 – External Auditing Devry University Professor Dorothy Brandt Keller Graduate School of Management Introduction Smackey Dog Foods, Inc. is a private own dog food manufacturer. The company was started by three sisters in the suburbs of Chicago. Smackey’s clientele are veterinarians, local pet stores and groceries stores. Smackey is in the process of expansion, and the purchase of new equipment produced the demand for an independent audit. The company has two divisions, one produces regular, and the other, gourmet dog food. Keller CPA’s task is to analyze Smackey’s business environment, perform an audit and issue an opinion on Smackey’s financial statements to be used to secure a loan at the local bank for the purchase of additional manufacturer equipment. Analysis At the Keller CPA Firm we follow all SEC, and other agencies, rules and regulations. According to Arens, Elder and Beasley (2010), the SEC has influence on setting GAAP and other disclosures, it has authority to develop requirements to guide auditors and CPAs to better design and prepare audits, and financial statements. Not all SEC rules will be applied to Smackey Dog Foods, Inc.’s audit, because this company is not public held, but the auditors will follow SEC’s rules in regard to private companies and determine if the financial statements are fairly presented. (Arens, Elder & Beasley, 2010, p.31). Auditors accumulate evidence in order to reach a...

...Worksheet for You Decide Questions: Q1: Discuss how the SEC has influence (if any) over the audit of Smackey Dog Foods, Inc. Solution: Since Smackey Dog Foods, Inc (“Smackey”) is not a publicly traded company, it would not be subject to SEC regulations and therefore would not need to file the required reports under the securities acts.

...the company management. The case reveals three critical issues, two of them are organizational issues and the third one is related to human character and integrity. The critical issues are as follows: a) the company had lack of quality control system, b) the company had lack of inventory control and management system, and c) Paul showed unethical behavior and influenced George to follow the same. Detailed analyses of each of the critical issues are discussed below with appropriate references. Quality Control The company did not seem to have an effective quality control system in place. The night shift employees were asked to complete the job without putting any emphasis on the quality of the product. The management was happy as long as the assigned job was completed within the period of night shift. The company provided no training to the employees (as evidenced by the instant hiring and putting George at work immediately with no training) on how to establish, monitor, and assure the quality of the product that they produced. The night-shift employees had no idea about the harmful effects of the polluted product on the consumers and the possible consequences the company would have to face for it. Not to mention that if the consumers get sick due to their poor milk product, the company could be sued and might even go bankrupt. The night shift employees could not see the big picture and were worried to lose only 500 gallons of milk. If the quality control system were...

...locations across America and Canada. When his sons decided they weren’t going to college, Jerry and Janie took the money they had saved for their college and opened a Five Burgers and Fries. Currently, Five Guys gave expanded to over 1,000 locations in 47 states and 6 Canadian provinces. The three main reasons for the success of the company are quality, value and the salesmen. The culture of Five Guys comes down to meat and potatoes and loyalty. The company has been getting its beef from the same supplier for more years than Murrell can remember, and it chooses to use Idaho potatoes for its fries rather than faster-growing, cheaper crops in Florida and California for the simple reason that, in Murrell’s opinion, they taste better. Five Guys’ loyalty extends to its identity as a burger joint as much as to its suppliers. In an age of expanding menus, when even so iconic a brand as McDonald’s is as well known for its salads, coffee, and wraps as for its Quarter Pounder. However, there was a lot of temptation along the way to do other things, like milkshakes or other items. Their philosophy was to stick within their own four walls and have the food do the talking for them. An owner must have great confidence in his product if he is willing to tell other place they aren’t the fastest company out there and for Five Guys that is fine. They take pride in not being the fastest burger joint out there because they take pride in...

According to ISO:900, quality is the degree to which a commodity meets the requirements of a customer at the start of its life. The product should provide total and continuous satisfaction to the consumer while the consumer is using it. For an organization to function, it needs customers. For this reason the organization must understand the expectations of the customer and be able to meet then and or even exceed them and thus the only time when inconsistence is welcomed. This means the quality of a product mostly benefit the customer since he or she is the focus at attention by everyone in the design, manufacture, distribution and sale of the particular product (BS EN ISO 9000:2009). The implementation of quality in a biotechnological industry is very crucial because of the uniqueness of this industry as it manufactures its products using living organisms. Some of these products include biopharmaceutical product such as therapeutic proteins and drugs, medical biotechnology products like diagnostic and treatment tools and also food products like cheese, bread and wines, to name a few. These products have a profound effect on the quality of human life, thus there is need to deliver these products safe, efficient, potent...
