What are the key challenges in managing food safety related processes?

Regulatory requirements, customer expectations, together with technological advancements of the 4th industrial revolution are pushing the food industry into reinventing itself by exploring new means for compliance, efficiency, brand protection and sustainability.  FSMA has had significant impact on the way the industry approaches supply chain management resulting in  new challenges and opportunities for food safety and quality assurance teams.  Technology and smart solutions are the primary tools food safety professionals are using to facilitate compliance and ensure transparency.

Challenges

1. Time spent in reporting

2. Real-time visibility into non-conformance events

3. Tracking changes in FSQA program components.

4. Lack of business intelligence

5. Audit Readiness

You've perhaps forgotten employee training and understanding

Indeed. Training and continuous assessments  are important. Again organizing specific content for role , process and analysis  topics relevant to the type of business is also key.

Thanks very much
