Solution Summary
HACCP – Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Point
HACCP is a regulated
business practice designed not only to ensure safety, but also to affix
responsibility. In the
In
principle, a HACCP program involves the analysis of the process and identification
of hazards and Critical Control Points (CCP); a plan to monitor and ensure that
the CCPs are controlled and corrective actions are taken when they are not; and
procedures to ensure that the HACCP system is working and well documented.
QIC
has available a number of products and services to assist our clients in
achieving a successful HACCP implementation. Although we can provide assistance
in developing the plan, the real return on investment for our clients is
derived from:
Documentation
and communication of the plan throughout the enterprise, and
Collection,
alarming, and documentation of the data.
To satisfy the documentation and communication objective, MasterControl™ provides an excellent platform to ensure
that the HACCP plan is:
Properly
completed and approved
Reviewed
at the appropriate intervals
Communicated
to every plan participant
Validated
that the participant has read and understood the plan
That
the plan is a controlled document and only the current version is made
available electronically or in print
That
data collected on forms is appropriately collected,
stored and distributed
Collection of the data is no different
from the collection of any other data, except that the gravity of an alarm is
more serious. To that end, we use the
GainSeeker™ data collection engine to capture, monitor, alarm and analyze HACCP
data. This way the operator does not
have to learn yet another MES system, and uses a familiar data collection
routine. She has more time to focus on
her main job – making your product most effectively. This data collection approach not only
provides consistency and ease-of-use, but also provides much more flexibility
with regards to corrective action, analysis, and root cause analysis than
traditional dedicated HACCP systems.
This approach also provides complete compliance with 21CFR part 11 electronic signature and
electronic records management guidelines.
From an enterprise
perspective, if common systems are used throughout the enterprise,
products, people, or entire lines and plants can be relocated with ZERO
additional training on the data collection systems.
Both GainSeeker™ and MasterControl
have met all of QIC’s stringent criteria for
system evaluation.
