Statistical analysis. Operational modeling. Facts, not interpretations
Our strategic partners
Why are we doing this?
Modern food quality and safety management requires not only ongoing control, but also strategic management of operational data. EQS International provides trend analysis and operational expertise to objectively identify factors affecting process stability, quality repeatability and operational risks.
Our reports are not summaries of auditors' opinions — they are the result of a methodical analysis of numerical data, classified according to the definition of non-compliance (critical/large/small), processed statistically, and then interpreted taking into account the technological, organizational and cultural context of a given establishment.
Facts That Matter in Practice
Our experts blend statistics with production know-how to spot risks and measure quality. We work close to the floor, delivering reports that reveal the truth—not just polished data.

Scope of our expertise
Statistical analysis of data from audits and production supervision
- Aggregate analysis of data from multiple locations and time periods
- Non-compliance repeatability rates (NO/100 audits, M/M trend, median errors per location)
- Correlations between error categories and environmental and organizational factors
- Predictive risk models (e.g. logistic regression of critical errors)
- Operational maturity scales based on hard data (BRAG model, individual scoring)
Process risk profiling
- Identification of key risk points in the process (technological, personnel, logistics)
- Aggregation and segmentation of sources of non-compliance
- Internal and external benchmark — positioning of the plant against the comparison group
- Diagnosis of the inefficiency of the corrective action system — defect recurrence ratio
Repeatability and product quality assessment
- Statistical analysis of sensory evaluation results: between-lot variance, conformance to specification (ICC, SD, outliers)
- Quality stability curve over time (time → sensory coherence)
- Comparison of organoleptic vs. process data (sensory-technological parameters correlation)
Analysis of suppliers and networks of production facilities
- Supplier ranking by KPI: quality, effectiveness of corrective actions, auditability, compliance with standards
- Strategic indicators for buyers and own-brand managers (e.g. sustainability compliance vs. operational quality)
- Predicting audit risk for a new supplier (early risk indicators)
What does the methodology look like?
Exemplary applications
Verification of the real operational quality of the supplier network
(before signing a contract, investment or contract change)
Evaluation of the effectiveness of quality strategies and corrective actions
(in time and space)
Preparation of data for board meeting, supervisory board or investor
based on hard, statistically significant indicators
Preparation of the plant for certification, change of line, launch of a new brand
with full analysis of risks and operational discontinuities
EQS International — Data. Analysis. Recommendations.
What makes us different?
Methodological rigor
We do not create charts “for presentation purposes”. We are working on data that can be verified. We analyze actual operational indicators, not narratives.
Statistics and expertise in one
We combine analytical workshop with operational experience. Our recommendations are feasible — they are not academic, they are industrial.
Interpretive Integrity
We do not embellish the results. We show the real picture, even when it is difficult — because only then can you make a change.
Confidentiality and Ethics
EQS expertise is created in full compliance with the principles of confidentiality, GDPR and audit ethics. No data is shared with third parties.
