With the establishment of an environmental management logistics system, organizations in the production chain of food products should provide evidence of their ability to control safety and environmental dangers. Logistics systems should be applicable to all organizations, regardless of their size, which are involved in any aspect of the food chain, from production preparation to waste management.

This paper presents a general approach to the product conformity assessment which is required by EU New and Global Approach. As an example, some of the results of the project TD-7082B are presented relating to the harmonization of machine tools with the requirements of the relevant EU directives and harmonized standards.

Determination of a product's phisical features is the responsibility of design engineering. This involves decisions related to the number of components, the role of each component, the choice of material, choice of methods etc. Those decisions depended upon the nature of relationship among customer - desired attributes of a product and its phisical features. Decisive criteria of machine tools quality are the productivity and working accuracy. The number of spindle - bearing systems supported on ball bearings with angular contact are proportionally increasing in accordance to this increasing demands on machine tools. By the variation of the bearings and their arrangement in bearing node, value of contact angle, magnitude of preload and type of flanges can be suitably optimised resulting stiffness and speed- ability of the spindle-bearing system. Rapid evaluation of various spindle-bearing system variants in the preliminary design stage has great importance for the design engineer. His selection can be correct, if he has suitably chosen criteria for the spindle bearing-system design and adequate experiences in this field. In this paper is introduced as well simplified mathematical apparatus for evaluation of basic spindle - bearing system parameters as also recommended selection criteria. In the paper, the design and verification of simplified mathematical model for computing of bearing arrangements parameter and stiffness are given.

The aim of this research is to analyze parallel implementation of BSC as a strategic management system and quality management system by the principals of ISO 9000 certification. We will analyze advantages and disadvantages of the models. Further more, the research will analyze cumulative advantages of the two systems implementation. The research will present possibilities for BSC implementation in QMS environment, underlining the processes. We will put the accent on improvement of firm's effectiveness by Strategic Management System (BSC) and Quality Management System's implementation.

Appearance of a number of management systems with various and so metimes divergent demands, demands for revise of optimal strategy on implementation of these standards in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the attempt on their integration into integrated management system are suggested even more. Firstly question on choice and reasons for implementation of standards is raised. Manag ement and employees expect benefits on the implementation and they pass and minimize the implementation barriers. Basic concept on integrated management system (IMS) into SMEs and analyse on reasons, advantages and barriers at IMS implementation are presented in this paper.
