Hi, I am hoping to get some feedback on something that I may be overthinking.
I currently took over a QA manager position that has been vacant for a while. I have observed the process and read the procedures and food safety plan and, lets just say it is not really a system and most does not make sense. I am thinking of doing the annual reassessment and updating the procedures to reflect what is actually being done, and adding some elements that are missing. Some of the changes I have in drafts are the procedures for non conforming product and equipment, corrective and preventive action, and document control (so far). My concern is that my changes may be too drastic for an annual reassessment, (some of these procedures are dated from 2017 and do not have any real meat to them). Should these types of changes be linked to an internal audit of the system or the verification/validation of the system? I have gone back and forth on how to fix the procedures and how to go about documenting why they had to be fixed. Should I go through all the procedures as an annual reassessment, update them, do the training and implement them and afterwards worry about doing my internal audit? Any feedback is appreciated.
