Hi there,
You should start by looking at and following CODEX Recommended International Code of Practice General Principles of Food Hygiene
On page 21 you will find HAZARD ANALYSIS AND CRITICAL CONTROL POINT (HACCP) SYSTEM AND GUIDELINES FOR ITS APPLICATION.

Tony's suggestion is great. After that, you should take a training course in HACCP. There are many places that offer them, but I would recommend that you use one that is accredited by the International HACCP Alliance or another similar organization. To be the HACCP coordinator/manager you are required to be trained in how to implement HACCP.
There are specific steps that are needed to set up a HACCP plan, and you will learn them from reading the Codex Alimentarius that Tony linked you to and by being trained.
Good luck!

Yes I agree with both of the above posters.
Reading up on HACCP will help but it may be hard to understand all of the concepts without practical experience.
HACCP training is a very good idea and will help you a lot and if you will be working in HACCP I believe a good training session is invaluable.
Make sure the HACCP training course you take is accredited by a good accrediting body such as the HACCP alliance.

Dear Experts,
Can anybody give the format/ template for Gap Analysis and HACCP plan in details from identifying the process to calculate the CCPs ?

Both of you just want to start off with big questions from the start.
I would read Codex and or NACMCF before taking the HACCP IHA class. You don't want to take the class without at least preparing yourself because it will be a lot to absorb and you want to make sure you focus on things you don't understand rather than trying to learn everything from scratch. You'll need to take it more than once. If it's your first time and have never seen a HACCP Program you may want to consider hiring a consultant.
A GAP analysis and HACCP Program would be very specific to your product and process.
Take into consideration this part of NACMCF under the first principle:
"Hazards identified in one operation or facility may not be significant in another operation producing the same or similar product."
