Hazard analysis and critical control points, or HACCP /hsp/, is a systematic

preventive approach to food safety and biological, chemical, and physical hazards in
production processes that can cause the finished product to be unsafe, and designs
measurements to reduce these risks to a safe level. In this manner, HACCP is referred
as the prevention of hazards rather than finished product inspection. The HACCP
system can be used at all stages of a food chain, from food production and preparation
processes including packaging, distribution, etc. The Food and Drug
Administration(FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) say that
their mandatory HACCP programs for juice and meat are an effective approach to food
safety and protecting public health. Meat HACCP systems are regulated by the USDA,
while seafood and juice are regulated by the FDA. The use of HACCP is currently
voluntary in other food industries.
HACCP is believed to stem from a production process monitoring used during World
War II because traditional "end of the pipe" testing on artillery shell's firing mechanisms
could not be performed, and a large percent of the artillery shells made at the time were
either duds or misfiring.
[1]
HACCP itself was conceived in the 1960s when the
US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) asked Pillsbury to design
and manufacture the first foods for space flights. Since then, HACCP has been
recognized internationally as a logical tool for adapting traditional inspection methods to
a modern, science-based, food safety system. Based on risk-assessment, HACCP plans
allow both industry and government to allocate their resources efficiently in establishing
and auditing safe food production practices. In 1994, the organization of International
HACCP Alliance was established initially for the US meat and poultry industries to assist
them with implementing HACCP and now its membership has been spread over other
professional/industrial areas.
[2]

Hence, HACCP has been increasingly applied to industries other than food, such as
cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. This method, which in effect seeks to plan out unsafe
practices based on science, differs from traditional "produce and sort" quality
control methods that do nothing to prevent hazards from occurring and must identify
them at the end of the process. HACCP is focused only on the health safety issues of a
product and not the quality of the product, yet HACCP principles are the basis of most
food quality and safety assurance systems,and the United States, HACCP compliance is
regulated by 21 CFR part 120 and 123. Similarly, FAO/WHO published a guideline for all
governments to handle the issue in small and less developed food businesses.

S.NO ENTREPENDEUR INTRAPRENEUR
1 Independent:
An Entrepreneur is an
independent person in his
business operations.
Dependent:
On the other hand an intrapreneur is
completely depending on the
Entrepreneur for everything in the
organisation. He cannot take any decision
by himself.
2 Need not be highly educated:
It is not necessary that an
Entrepreneur should have a high
education. He can learn
everything by experience provided
he has the basic qualities of a
successful Entrepreneur.
High educated:
An intrapreneur enters into an existing
organisation with a high education and
qualification. He is indeed a business
specialist in the chosen field.
3 Fund raising:
An Entrepreneur himself raises
funds necessary for starting and
establishing his enterprise.
No fund raising:
An intrapreneur is completely free from
the botheration of raising funds
4 Risk bearing:
An Entrepreneur has to bear all
the risks involved in the business
by himself.
No risk bearing:
An intrapreneur need not beat any risk
involved in the business.
5 Routine work:
Entrepreneur is more concerned
with doing routine work and
something he may not know the
important details of his own
business.
Specialist:
An intrapreneur acts as a apecialist in his
chosen field and serves as an outside
professional.
6 Operation from outside:
An Entrepreneur always operates
from outside. The owner is
different and the enterprise he
owns is different.
Operation from inside:
But, an intrapreneur operates from within
the organisation itself. He is a part and
parcal of the organisation.
7 Strong authoritarian:
Generally, an Entrepreneur
operates with a strong
authoritarian back-up.
Less authoritarian:
On the contrary, intrapreneur is less
authoritarian. He is more adaptable in
the organisation.
