Help! SQF Layout
Hi all!! Taking over as Quality Manager for someone who is retiring and at the same time our business is moving to a new location. I am looking to overhaul our Quality System and make it more straightforward and easy to update. Any advice on how people set up their SQF systems? We currently are a little all over the place and I am looking for some ideas to streamline. Thanks !!
Similar boat here---------it looks like each department was left to mange the bit they were responsible for and things are filed wildly with (seemingly) no ryhme or reason
Post next audit (in two months) i will doing the following
Centralizing all documentation under 1 quality location
Folder 1 Policies
2 Procedures (SOPs)
3 Sanitation Procedures (SSOPs)
4 Documentation (separated into departmental folders/ production/maintenance/sanitation etc.)
Currently-revisions are on the last page and have been overwritten when saving. Archive everything and save new versions with either version number or revision date
Keep the heart of the program in "read only" that way other well intended "helpers" can't help with the heart of the program
My master log is layed out so that all associated documents are listed beside all of the policies/procedures like this
ACME GMP Policy Date Jan 1 1000 GMP Training Doc xxx Jan 1 1000
GMP Monitoring Doc xxx Jan 1 1000
Deviation Tracking xxx Jan 1 1000
That way, whenever 1 thing needs updated I am reminded to also ensure all associated documentation is modified if need be.
Also---this is a huge help https://www.inspecti...7674768_eng.pdf
A reassessment calendar!!!!
If you are moving to a new location you will need a new system as it will be a completely new certification, registration, etc.
I'm a fan of binders.
My SOPs, SSOPs, and SQF documents are also kept in digital form, but only on my computer. I also save every new/updated version as a new file. I have folders for the current versions and folders for the archived versions.
Each section of the SOP and SQF binders have document registers that list documents in order, give the date of the most current version, and track all amendments that have been made to each document. I also keep my Corrective Actions in the SQF Binder.
In the binder for my 3rd party testing results, I keep a current copy of my 3rd party lab's ISO cert.
In the visitor binder, I keep visitor logs and visitor GMP training documentation.

Hi lenie,
As you can see, people have various ideas for FSMS systems.
Some excellent stuff in previous posts but direct usability may relate to compatibility with yr existing setup which is ????
Yr ultimate result must presumably also "answer" SQF's detailed requirements as per their on-line checklist.
Thoughts ?
