FSSC Audit

:yay: We just survived our first FSSC audit and escaped with a few minors that will be pretty easy to fix.  It was a little hairy at times but soon we will have our certificate I'm sure.

Well done Merle, good going since you only just switched from SQF to FSSC.  

Give yourself a pat on the back and enjoy your weekend. :beer:

Congratulations, Merle!

Curious...how would you rate the FSSC22000 audit versus the SQF audits you had in the past? Tougher? Easier? Similar?

Thanks Simon and Chris :spoton:

Simon: 

Obviously I didn't have as great a part in this audit as my last I was in coming into this system 3 weeks ago.  But luckily some of what I did do helped to stop us from getting one minor and showed him continuous improvement from their documentation audit.   But I did have a big part in helping to get everything out to show him and I'm going to be having a much bigger part in fixing the minors and moving forward.

Chris:

The audit today seemed "harder" though I would say that obviously different standards, auditors, and CB's create a different situation.  Also the differences between the systems and the  manufacturing plants were numerous also.

However I think that this inspector did a much more comprehensive audit than the SQF inspector did at my last plant.  I feel very confident moving forward that we were properly inspected here and that we have a very complete (minus the minors of course) system and a safe to use product.

Congratulations Merle, and congratulations to all your team!,

Nevertheless Merle a good result to kick-start your new role.

Well done Roberto. :clap:

Well Done Merle

Can you enlighten us on the minors? Were they related to ISO 22000 or TS ISO 22002?
