Food Safety and Continual Improvement: Beyond Corrections and Audits

This webinar will present a proactive approach to improve food safety management systems that go beyond corrective actions to deviations and findings from external audits. It will focus on the continual improvement methodologies to speed up or optimize processes, solve problems and manage complexity.

Why Should You Attend:

An effective food safety management system should prevent problems before they occur and demonstrate preparedness when they do occur. Most of the improvements to these types of management systems are done after deviations or external audits occur. Luckily continual improvement methodologies have evolved as an alternative to speed up or optimize processes, solve problems and manage complexity, and have the potential to be utilized to improve food safety management systems.
