Everything from defining your auditing team and establishing a risk-based audit frequency to scheduling and conducting audits can be easily managed with Food Portal's auditing systems.
Auditing for food manufacturers
|
You can define your auditing team and upload evidence of auditor competence. |
|
Customisable audit list
|
The system comes pre-loaded with audits to match the BRCGS Food Standard, and you can add your own custom audits to comply with any standards that your site operates to. |
Clauses and compliance requirements
|
For any custom audits you add, you can list out all clauses using the simple web form. |
|
Risk-based auditing frequency
|
Each audit can be risk-assessed based on the risk associated with the activity and the previous audit performance to determine the appropriate frequency of audit. |
Scheduling audits
|
Audits can be selected from a drop-down menu and added to the auditing schedule. The audit will also be displayed to the auditor on their user dashboard when they log in to Food Portal, so it's easy to keep track of upcoming audits. |
|
Complete audits from a smartphone or mobile device
|
Factory audits can be completed using a smartphone or mobile device. Select a clause from the drop-down, and the compliance requirements will be displayed. You can record instances of non-conformity or observations of conformance. |
Observations, non-conformance, and close-out
|
Outcomes from your audits will be tabulated, and any instances of non-conformance are integrated with the incidents management system for investigation and responsive actions. Corrective and preventative actions will be included on your site's corrective action plan along with all other responsive actions generated by quality incidents. |
|
With Food Portal, you can manage every aspect of your internal auditing function. The systems have been configured to enable excellent control, with the flexibility to accommodate for any compliance standards.
A holistic service:
Food Portal offers a holistic range of cloud-based quality systems for food manufacturers. The service is not split into modules, so you'll never need to compromise on the functions you have access to.
|
Food Portal enables you to create a profile for each of your suppliers and manufacture sites, and administrate approval and assurance evidence.
|
The systems on Food Portal allow you to quickly and easily produce version-controlled risk assessments for each raw material supply route. The user interface was inspired by retailer specification systems and has been developed to take the frustration out of this technically demanding task.
|
|
The information you enter into the risk assessment for each individual raw material is used to automatically generate a range of site control documents, including: the approved list for purchasing, the allergen risk assessment, the raw material acceptance criteria reference document, the site vulnerability assessment, and raw material surveillance schedules.
|
The incidents management system rationalises all quality incidents that occur throughout your operations into a single register, and provides a structure for investigation and responsive actions. Trending is done automatically so when you use Food Portal to record and close-out incidents, you don't need to do any further administration for performance trending.
|
|
Food Portal provides facilities for you to define your auditing team, risk-assess audits to determine auditing frequency, establish your auditing schedule, and carry out audits. You can carry out factory audits using a smart phone, uploading photo evidence on the go.
|
The systems on Food Portal don't just handle your raw material and finished product traceability information - when you allocate a batch of product to a customer order, traceability information is automatically emailed to your customer, and you have the facility to offer your customers verification that materials have been drawn from a positive stock pool.
