Food companies: follow up checks, skills and hazard analyses
Who has practised the revised cleaning procedure? Does the hazard analysis need updating when a raw material changes? What did the check before production show? AmpliFlow is software where you can document checks, plan training and keep your hazard analyses together. Build on the procedures that work and give colleagues clear tasks to carry out and follow up.
Before production starts: document your checks
A possible use: you want to follow up checks after cleaning a packaging line. Turn your established checkpoints into an AmpliFlow checklist with instructions and the answers you need.
The colleague carrying out the check enters observations, readings or photos where you have selected those fields. The person responsible can return to the answers and see what was recorded, rather than trying to reconstruct it later.
The record provides information for assessment. You still need to decide whether cleaning is sufficient and which actions are needed before production starts.
When a cleaning procedure changes: follow up what colleagues learn
A revised procedure needs to work on the next shift too. Plan a practical session in AmpliFlow: describe what colleagues need to learn, select participants and enter resources and a deadline.
After the session, record the completion date and write an evaluation. For example, describe what colleagues demonstrated during practice and what needs more work. The plan then records both the training delivered and the next training need.
After training, you also need to assess how the procedure is applied in production and whether more supervision is needed.
When a raw material changes: update your hazard analysis
A possible HACCP example: a new ingredient can introduce allergens or other food safety hazards. Review its composition and how it is handled in production, and assess whether your control measures need to change.
In AmpliFlow's Documents, you can keep your hazard analysis and decisions on a page. Describe what has changed, which hazards you have assessed and which measures you have selected. Colleagues can then read the information when you review the revised procedure.
Put the checks you have established into checklists so colleagues can document the results. You conduct the hazard analysis and decide which checks are needed; the software supports documentation and follow-up.
For those working with ISO 22000, BRC or similar standards
Checks, competence and hazard analysis are parts of a food safety management system. These examples show how the software can support documentation and follow-up, not a complete setup for your business.
