Dear all on the forum,
Recently I am thinking one word present in BRC or IFS standards.
The word is "objectives".
In BRC or IFS standard quality and safety objectives are the key targets covered by respective policies stated by factories.
How to explain such objectives? In China, a popular method is explaining by means of statistic data. e.g. Customer satisfaction rate above 99%. Final product conformity rate above 99% etc.
However, in Codex or EU legislations I often observed one or two sentence to express the objectives of the written document. e.g. In CAC/RCP 1-1969 General Principles of Food Hygiene, page two, one objective is stated as identify the essential principles of food hygiene applicable through out the food chain (including primary production though to the final consumer), to achieve the goal of ensuring that food is safe & suitable for human consumption.
My question is that whether it is possible to state the factory quality objectives in manner of description, but not in manner of setting a number taget? And how to review the described objectives in your management review? If yes, would you like to give some examples following your comment?
Any opinion would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Jason
