Resistance from senior management - sigh
It's not resistance as much as maybe because we are small, some of the implementations seem like unnecessary overkill and it's tough to explain when no one's flying a red flag too publicly to say "this is coming and we need to buck up and comply and that's going to require some investment"
Actually, many places are flying the red flags, if only to get people to buy their services or promote their business. What people don't realize is that, in the US, as a regulation is changed, the old information disappears from the CFR listing, and only the new regs are visible. So the "old" GMP will no longer exist, and HARPC will be put into its place.
Our site is less than 40 people, and we manufacture some non-food products, but we are pretty much FSMA ready. If you are GFSI, then you should be fine.
If you are very small, you have more time to comply. I urge you to check that out.
Some links for information and help.
