Peter BryarBackground

After serving for 21 years in the Australian Army, Peter decided to form his own consultancy specialising in human resources management and training and development.

To substantiate his field experience in human resources management, he completed a Master of Business in Industrial Relations and Human Resources Management at Victoria University of Technology in 1997.During this program, he became unsatisfied with the direction of his work and wanted to improve his knowledge and praxis relating to consulting skills and change issues.In 1995 he enrolled in the RMIT Master of Applied Science (Innovation and Service Management) program.During this course of study he changed both the direction of his worklife and the way he practiced.He graduated in 1998.

He is now undertaking a full-time Doctoral study in the area of horticultural quality systems.His project is loosely titled 'Supply Chain Quality Improvement: The Case of Small Horticultural Enterprises (SHE) '. Peter is currently working in the area of organisational change / process improvement.He is an Associate Fellow of the Australian Human Resources Institute and the Australian Institute of Management, and a member of the Quality Society of Australasia.

Research

Proposed Title of Thesis: 'Supply Chain Quality Improvement: The Case of Small Horticultural Enterprises (SHE)'

Small Horticultural Enterprises (SHE) are the heart of the Australian fresh fruit and vegetable industry.Market demands and consumer awareness have pressured the horticultural industry into rethinking the way that they manage the food supply chain from paddock to plate.SHE, like their larger counterparts have an important role to play in producing food safe and quality lines of produce.

This action research based project is essentially exploratory in nature and will study SHE developing, implementing and managing a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) based quality system.The results should encourage the development and adoption of a systems approach to quality management and produce safety within on-farm componenets of the food supply chain.
