If you are working to SQF 2000 you could start by breaking down the requirements of the standard and turning those into questions and making up some checklists for example:

6.11 Transport and Delivery

6.11.1 Loading, Transport and Unloading Practices

6.11.1.1 The practices applied during loading, transport and unloading of food shall be documented, implemented and designed to maintain appropriate storage conditions and product integrity. Foods shall be loaded, transported and unloaded under conditions suitable to prevent cross contamination.

6.11.2 Loading

6.11.2.1 Vehicles (trucks/vans/containers) used for transporting food shall be inspected prior to loading to ensure they are clean, in good repair, suitable for the purpose and free from odors or other conditions that may impact negatively on the product.

6.11.2.2 Loading practices shall be designed to minimize unnecessary exposure of product to conditions detrimental to maintaining product and package integrity.

So how so they do that, what procedures are they working to, what is acceptable and what is not acceptable, what do they do if there is a nonconformity, who is reponsible, what documents and records are used in this process, who is trained and to what level? I think you get the picture.

Dear bri,

As Simon has described, the best way to make your very own GMP Auditing Guide Sheet is to make your auditable standard(s) a guiding tool to make a to do list. Googling with the key words (GMP, GMP+checklist, GMP+audit) may lead you towards wealth of information. I am adding here some examples of checklists. May be these provide a foundation to start.
