I have been using IFSQN for the past 3 years to development my knowledge in food & beverage manufacturing. I know I was getting bashed by some of the senior members due to my age and lack of knowledge in the field being a 25 year old QA MANAGER/SQF Practitioner.
Well 3 audits in 2.5 weeks- and I am finally able to take a few days off
Nestle 3 day audit-Grade Satifactory
SQF Level 3 3 day audit- Score 94
Rich Foods 2 day Audit- 91.2
Our quality plans have a few adjustments, however all OIPs or recommendations, nothing considered a minor or major.
Our facility has been the down fall of our scores- its an older "wet facility" with very little SS machinery-AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THE IMAGE.
My goals for the next few years are to improve the facility with multiple continous improvement projects to enhance our production area. 1. stainless conveyors, 2. upgraded floors, 3. more efficient equipment. More so, I am going to a advanced practitioners course and haccp course to better myself. And I plan on attempting to pursue my green belt.
