Hi Charles,
I should have clarified that we also produce the cheese in question (Cheddars, Jacks, and Feta) however we do not allow cardboard or wood in the cheese production area of the plant. We currently do not allow cardboard into the cut and wrap side of the plant mostly due to space issues. Labeling and boxing happens in a sperate area for the same reason so this has not been an issue in the past. Revised enginers drawins show un boxing and finished cases in this room. This has been brought up but i can find nothing specific to support not doing it. My reasons for not wanting to do it this way arethe same as MerelW and Tony's. Gap Audit is in two and a half weeks.

Hi Kevin,
I suggest that you put your advice in writing to your manager and copy everyone that has the power to make decisions or has influence within the company.
I find that few senior managers listen to words if they don't want to hear them but when something is put in writing they tend to act!
Regards,
Tony
