Abstract
This article analyzes the role of international standards - ISO 9001:2015, ISO 22000:2018 and the HACCP system - and their economic significance in improving product quality management at food industry enterprises in the Jizzakh region on a deep scientific basis. The leading food manufacturing enterprises of the region - “Bonu Shirinlikari” LLC and “Iruskon” LLC were selected as the object of research, and their activities were studied based on an integrated approach. During the research, economic indicators before and after the introduction of international quality standards in these enterprises were compared and dynamically analyzed. In particular, the main factors affecting export potential, competitiveness, product quality, production efficiency, and overall economic results were comprehensively assessed. The impact of the introduction of quality management systems on the internal processes of the enterprise and management efficiency was also considered. The results of the study show that the introduction of international standards has led to positive results in both enterprises: the level of product rejection has decreased by an average of 3-4 times, the export share has increased by 4-5 times, and the ROI indicator has formed around 120-140% with a payback period of less than 1 year. At the same time, a significant increase in product quality and consumer confidence has been observed. The article concludes with specific practical conclusions aimed at further developing the quality management system in the food industry.
