Hi,
An easy example for an alert system to check if the FSMS system works appropriately, is warning system (bell) which ringing when the temperature decrease in cold room, refrigerator or freezer in a meat production factory.
You are able to make document the temperature changes through a temperature recording chip which record temperature fluctuations and transfer data to a PC and send warning message (ringing bell) when temperature changes is out of defined range.
Regards,
Hedayat

We received a NC for not documenting the test, the auditor was looking for someone not related to the company to gain access to the facility. We documented a review of customers, contractors & others attempting to gain access and the reactions by staff in those areas & whether it was effective or not (ie. delivery driver attempted to enter facility but was asked to wait in truck while load was received).
