WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Overview training curriculum

DAY 1

Objectives, CAPA, and using internal audit to drive improvement

Day one focuses on the engine of a mature SQF system: clear objectives, a CAPA process that actually surfaces root causes, and an internal audit program that does more than meet the clause.

Establishing food safety and quality objectives aligned to Edition 10
Implementing the corrective and preventive action process to address those objectives
Using the internal audit process to verify corrective actions and prioritize improvement
Trend analysis from CAPA, complaints, and audit findings
Hands-on exercise: build an internal audit schedule that mirrors site risk

DAY 2

Continuous improvement, re-certification readiness & KPIs

Day two zooms out from individual processes to the system as a whole — culture, leadership engagement, KPIs, and a runway to re-certification.

Continuous improvement of the SQF system between audits
Preparation for the SQF Edition 10 re-certification audit
Improving the demonstration of management's commitment
Developing and prioritizing key performance indicators (KPIs)
Communicating ROI of food safety and quality initiatives to site leadership
