Overview: While not captured in most audit reports, one of the biggest mistakes an organization can make is to have insufficient self audits.
Internal audits are a core component of the Quality Assurance and Food Safety program. Ensuring the team representatives are trained and calibrated is a critical aspect of the program. An untrained team will miss important audit items, compromising the confidence in the company s ability to assess and improve its own systems.
Why you should attend: Maintenance is often found to present the greatest area of opportunity for improvement in the food safety chain. Lack of control of parts and condition of equipment often contributes foreign material to the product resulting in costly product recoveries. Untimely repairs affect productivity as well as customer order fulfillment. A systematic approach to maintenance is critical to operations, quality and safety.
