Hi all, I hope everyone is enjoying their Bank Holiday.
I wanted some feedback on a question which has been bugging me for a while:
My prerequisite plans cover what is set out in the BRC Standard and other Retailer guidelines we work to. The plans take what is written in the standard and apply it to our site and how we meet it.
(as an example: 'XYZ Foods shall ensure we have a system in place to ensure products are protected from theft or malicious contamination whilst on site. This shall be achieved through.....')
When it comes it Internal Audits (specifically 3.4.1) - We audit all the Sections of The BRC Standard (in our own internal format) - But it also asks to audit prerequisite plans.
What I'm struggling to get to grips with is....my prereq plans and QMS are based on the BRC Standard and are extremely similar.....why should I audit them twice?
Am I doing something wrong or is there something I don't quiet understand?
Any input is very much appreciated :)
