quality production, safety and reliability at all levels of a business process. ISO facilitates a
business with the deals of minimizing the production errors, and waste hence increasing the
productivity quality. Additionally, ISO standardization sets the appropriate measures to ensure
equality in packing and packaging of products and services during production. This body of
certifying the quality of production oversees standards within more than 160 countries
worldwide. According to the tools set by the ISO, every member country focuses on effective
implementation and robust ISO 9001 quality in management information systems. These factors
are very important for the improvement of business in terms of efficiency in operations and
business development system provides a sound foundation of increased productivity and growing
profits. ISO provides the most significant network system standards that enable the business
management systems to provide standard processes. Food safety is a sensitive role production to
ensure no hazardous issues in human consumption, and ISO standards play essential role of
supplying Cruise ships with food and beverages around the world.
The current ISO in the world, functions under a robust environment. The body sets
standards with change of different factors in the world such as technology. The standards of the
quality management system in the member countries operate under anticipated changes of
production. Therefore, technology acts the most upcoming challenge that keeps the ISO to
change the sets with time to merge the productivity standard with the emerging technology
environment. ISO sets serious standards of food safety management that helps organizations to

identify and control food safety hazards. These standards ensure the safety of food production
and healthy consumption of food for human around the world. Currently, ISO standards play
essential role of supplying Cruise ships with food and beverages around the world.
1.1 History
Consequently, the history of the ISO standards is the most important case that worlds
took as a step of ensuring safe and quality production. ISO certification standards began to set
out overall standards and requirements of the for a quality management system in the world. The
requirements of the ISO define the steps on behave of the organization to demonstrate ability to
control safety especially in food stuffs supplying companies.1 However, effects unsafe food
supplying have been adverse and serious in past and ISO’s safety management standards enabled
organizations to identify and control food safety hazards from the past and existing events of
threats and unsafe food disasters.2 Historically, International Organization for Standardization
was founded in 1947 by 25 countries members which were group of delegates with 67 original
committee members of ISO technical group.3They came together and set universal goals of
operating the production process to ensure the products and services are safe, of valid quality,
Significantly, a number of bodies created ISO as founders and they set pace of unified
goals towards the safe and quality in production especially in food products. United Nations

The Organizations are subject to seek ISO’s standardization that offers solutions for
quality and safety assurance in food processing and production. Generally, in food industry, ISO
plays important roles by providing safe guidance and concise overview of the requirements of
food safety during the production process.5 The aspects of international Standards avail the
qualifications guidelines of an organization to all productivity quality and safety food production
and supplying.6 All aspects of providing and feeding population in the world depend on ISO
rethinking from time to time to ensure safe sources of food production chains to pave the
pressure of the effects of unsafe food consumption.7 Due to rapid growing production of
population in the world, many organizations have set business of food production as business

international standards offer solutions to only qualified members to implement the system of
sustainable food production methods and testing to encourage safety, quality, and efficiency in
Notably, international standards set prerequisite elements that company require before
implementing the system of ISO from all the member countries. All players of food production
chains supplying the Cruise Ships with food and beverages fall in the same category.8 The
prerequisite elements of the organization before implementing the ISO system are product and
services requirements review records, design and development of output records of review.9
Additionally, the review records of controls of quality, input, professional and personnel
management, change design and development review changes.10 The company demonstrates the
kind and quality records of the services and goods produce.11 The system of the change control
records acts as conformity of acceptance of criterion the company use in monitoring the
results ,and is one of the crucial prerequisite. To implement the system, the organization must
also produce the monitoring system program for the quality and results of change records.12
However, the results of the management review are an actual request from the International
Standards to set a review corrective action based on the ISO implementation actions.

overall limitations that may hinder the quality of the study. Notably, there are distinct factors that
make the study to face limitations and develop a potential negative impact for the entire research
activity. Limitations of the review effectively lead to failures of some parts of the research.13
Therefore, the greatest and the potential impact of the study limitation affect the quality of the

acquiring the best answers to the research questions due to the distinctive and diversity of foreign
language. Set the of standard language such as English may allow the responds to be positive to
the only native speaking language people. To some extent, not everyone can communicate in
English and that may affect this international research. Lack of the common language during the
research may cause lack of clarification of some crucial points that study requires hence leading
to informal results.14 Therefore, the language barrier is a challenge that may affect the quality of
this research.
Choosing the wrong population may lead to the wrong data collection. Poor selection of
the population during research limits the validity of the data. In addition to that, the population
reduces the chances of achieving the correct demographics of the study. Consequently, the
description of the population becomes low in terms of giving the expounded characteristics.15
Therefore, the affirmative confirmation of the sound population leads to valid findings, but if the
population is invalid the data of the study may limit the purity of the research.
1.6.3 Time
Time is another limitation that may affect this research due to limited time of
interpretation and drawing conclusion. A research requires an appraisal and interpretation of the
impact in given time. Lack of enough time may affect the schedule of the study due to the scope
that require set of enough time for pure conclusion and compiling of the research results.

The findings show that ISO should present baseline of the practices in the Cruise ship and
industrial principles to follow in food and beverage production. According to the interviewees
ISO sets levels of quality and reliability through basis of comparing the food chain companies
and the solutions behind their services and goods.85 The Social Hostesses demo that 90% of the

5.1 Recommendation
ISO standards are useful if they are implemented by the key role players. Consequently,
the roles of the ISO in Cruise ships are to set standards of the safety food production chains
supplying the ships with foods and beverages.88 According to most of the ISO international
standards, the food chain suppliers should maintain the actual standards of quality in food
production to avoid waste but regulate reliability.89 However, the standards are not only set for
measures but also to ensure the prevention of health hazards in the cruise ships. The standards
are not the rules set by the ISO organizations to ensure quality, but also management of quality

in Crusieship. According to the findings from the case study, most of the ship food suppliers
depend on the standards on packing the food. Quality management systems are set in the Cruise
ship to safeguard the safety of food throughout the series of the production chain. Due to high
and rapidly growing population in the world, the demand of food that is safe grows from day-to-
day.91 Moreover, the ISO standards guide the food professional handlers to develop an assurance
of quality at all levels of production. On the other hand, the quality management technology
helps the ISO body to attain goals regarding quality of food production.
However, the training of the employees about the new technology concepts helps
organizations to improve the production methods and retain reliability, low cost of production,
and avoid waste of resources. The ISO standards helps the productivity of food to save the
environment and control all the hazards surrounding food production. Health hazards concerning

5.2.1Technology Vs OSI
Technology and OSI are two tools that work together to offer sound standards of food
safety in Cruise ship. Technology in Cruise ship helps the professional production chain to
improve the quality of Companies supplying food and beverages. The ISO also sets ethics of
food technology. The suggestions f he rapid growing technology in food technology may also
have an adverse effect on the quality, ISO need test phases of technology on food to ensure
sensitive based on technology regarding the effects. 93Therefore, technology helps the process of
producing quality improvement, but requirements of setting the actual standards of technology
may be a need in the production chain. Technology and ISO are crucial factors that help the
The effects of training employees about technology improve the rate of quality

technological solutions improve food safety protocols through ISO standards and make it faster,
efficient, and accurate in inventory management, auditing, keep safe, and training the workers
about the food safety.95 Establishment of healthy community and safety procedures can build a
Human resource management should apply ISO standards to manage personnel fairly,
effectively, and legally to enable the food production chains to realize sound returns. ISO set
standards for workers on considerable manner to evaluate the experience and skills of human
groups and agencies of government that investigate low-quality production projects of foods.
The management of resource builds the favorite means of delivering the impacts of the quality
change of quality in production. Training of the employees on ethical concerns of quality manual
procure and maintain high discipline towards the achievement of quality is part of ISO standards.
Therefore, human resource management engages in several quality tests. During production, the
managers encourage the employees to participate in the quality control programs. Moreover,
human capital requires guidance the helps the employees to acquire skills of requirements of
ISO.

Conclusively, the study exposed the applications of the ISO standards can help the
development of standards and offer the best practice that can prevent poor quality foods from the
chain food producers. Cooperation to develop an overview is another potential technical aspect
of practicing the quality management and measures of safety food production. The exploration of
this study sets the roles of international Organization Standards (ISO) play on the Cruise ship

productions is to understand the requirements of the quality management procedure and integrate
the standards of the chain supplying food production and safety standards. According to the

support reports of the standards of the Cruise ship to develop technical experts, the efforts of the
management towards quality improvement remain a role of the organization. The food and
beverage production chain companies also require to understand that, supplying the food
production chain companies supplying the Cruise ships are meeting the potential standards of the
food safety. Therefore, according to the International Standards Organization (ISO), food safety
is a sensitive role production to ensure no hazardous issues in human consumption, and ISO
standards play essential role of supplying Cruise ships with food and beverages around the
