The Effect of Implementation Quality System on the Quality Culture of Farmers (Case Study on Edamame Production Industries)

Abstract

In conjunction with the quality of raw material suppliers, farmers need to be developed to implement quality standards internationally recognized so as to form a high-quality cultural behavior in production activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the application of HACCP management and quality management on quality culture through the performance of farmer groups. The study was conducted on edamame soybean production centers in Jember, Lumajang and Bondowoso. The study can be used as input for the management company to assess the implementation of the core variables of research that has been conducted in order to improve the performance of farmer groups and cultural quality of the plasma, and then as input for the plasma to determine production strategies in order to produce a quality product.Sampling methods for farmers is done by using snowball sampling. To examine the relationship between variables observed with latent variables, use the software SEM. The results of the analysis and testing of suitability models were then compared with the size of the goodness of fit. The results showed that the conceptual model of structural equation models have met the eligibility (fit), this result indicates that the model fits the empirical conditions. Theoretical research model is an adaptation of the concept of quality management system. According to our model, HACCP Management and Quality Management System has positive influence on the Quality Culture of Edamame Farmers through Group Performance. Partially, quality management culture has positive effect on the quality of edamame farmers.
