I have been trying to implement SQF into a packaging manufacturing plant that has been run for 45 years without any level of comolisnce or accountability. For 7 month's i have written programs, created forms, training, document control systems and we are no closer today than the day I started. My attempts to develop an effective food safety team of departmental managers has bern in vain. Every manager is over committed already. I am now working with our 3rd COO who is questioning mmy knowledge because he has not taken the time to read the code. I have now been tasked to redesign an implementation plan that is realistic and workable with limited rresources both financial and physical. I must present this to the board of directors who are the owners. I have reiterated endlessly tthat Senior Management owns this compliance, but they keep responding with...they don't understand it. I have provided every possible guidance document for every section of modules 2 and 13. I have drafted every SOP and training presentation. The entire sraff is gravely computer illiterate and use me as their personal assistant because they are unable to use the QMS drive I creared to store all SQF documents for their review. I am fighting a losing battle and our timeline is running out. I cannot do this alone. And I certainly cannot do this with a Sr Manager bent on undermining my efforts and presenting me as the incompetent one. My only recourse is to push out timeline for completion to end if 2018 and work on one program at a time through to implementation before moving onto next program. Has anyone had to implement SQF with minimal management day to day involvement?
