Government inspections and third party audits are not enough to ensure an understanding of the status your food safety systems. Certification from a third party audit is valued by your customers, but only internal auditing, completed by trained auditors can reach to the necessary depth to uncover company strengths and weaknesses visible only from an inside view.
Internal auditing will allow you to capitalize on your strengths to reduce risk and address weaknesses before they become food safety incidents or audit failures. In the current economy, you cannot afford to fail. This seminar will allow you to learn essential techniques to ensure effective, value-added internal audits.
Auditing your food safety and quality system yields benefits beyond meeting regulatory and customer requirements. It assures your audits provide information you need to manage product safety/quality, personnel performance, and production efficiency – information essential to business success. Our training program will help you begin an effective auditing program or enhance the results of your current auditing efforts. It can help you meet internal auditing obligations, validate the results of your auditors, give you an objective viewpoint, and prepare your organization for inspection by certification companies, customers and regulatory agencies
Our comprehensive training approach establishes a firm foundation for compliance by focusing on management commitment to safety/quality, and providing timely, practical feedback to quality and compliance questions. We understand and train regarding the application of risk management to ensure effective corrective actions
following inspections, audits, or enforcement actions. We train to assure auditors can identify systemic problems and develop comprehensive plans that address root causes while supporting business objectives.
