QA Utility-Quality Assurance Guidance

Example

Guiding a jam production company through the BRC Version 9 certification process, including document preparation and mock audit exercises.

Scenario

A jam manufacturer is looking to first-time certify their facility against the BRC Version 9 standard. QA Utility assists in preparing the necessary documentation, advises on the implementation of standard requirements, and conducts a mock audit to identify any potential areas of non-compliance before the actual certification audit.

Example

Assisting a tomato canning facility in identifying root causes for non-conformities and developing effective corrective actions.

Scenario

During an IFS Version 8 audit, a tomato canning facility is found to have issues with their supply chain management. QA Utility helps the facility to conduct a root cause analysis, develop a corrective action plan, and implement changes to ensure compliance, thus preventing the same issue from reoccurring in future audits.

Example

Creating a tailored checklist for a fruit juice producer to ensure all critical control points are monitored effectively.

Scenario

A fruit juice producer needs to ensure that their production process is in line with IFS Version 8 standards. QA Utility develops a customized compliance checklist that covers all critical control points specific to fruit juice production, helping the producer to monitor compliance effectively and efficiently.
