I am implementing a weekly GMP Auditing program.I need to establish a guide sheet for my team explaining what they are looking for when they audit the separate departments.Can anyone help with a simple to do list for my auditing team members to use as a guide.
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 Delivery6.11.1 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.
