Hello everyone!

 

We just had or pre-audit for the SQF assessment and the auditor mentioned that we need to verify our Crisis Management Plan. How do I go about this? Any advice would be appreciated.

Pick a scenario that may apply to you

 

Refrigeration system hit by lightning, or extended duration power failure,  lack of an essential ingredient etc

 

Then see that issue through, including costing-

 

Scenario

Immediate remediation steps (including expenses)

Corrective Action(s) including costing

Long term preventative plan (if required)

 

Ensure you include details on timing, for example, right now, finding parts is hard----so ensure that when you figure out a solution, you include real time data on sourcing materials

Get the crisis team together and conduct as a yearly exercise.

Just adding ti what scampi said.

Alao make your documentation up from an in depth forenic standpoint.

Agreeing with the above comments. In our Mock Crisis exercises, we emphasize checking how much product was affected and if it was affected, how can we determine if it is still safe for consumption.
