Definitions
Management System – system to establish policy and objectives and to achieve those objectives (ISO 9000)
Food Safety – concept that food will not cause harm to the consumer when it is prepared and / or eaten according to its intended use (ISO 22000, Section 3.1)
Food Safety Management System (FSMS) – a set of interrelated or interacting elements to establish policy, objectives and to achieve those objectives, used to direct and control an organization with regards to food safety (ISO/TS 22003:2007, Section 3.5)
Objective of Management System Implementation
Food Safety Critical Success Factors
- Food Safety policy, objectives, and activities that reflect business objectives;
- Approach to food safety consistent with the types of organization;
- Visible support and commitment from all the levels in the organization;
- A good understanding of Food safety requirements, Hazard analysis and Risk management;
- Effective communication of food safety requirements to the staff and other interested parties;
- Effective implementation of prerequisite program;
- Adequate Financial Support;
- Appropriate Awareness, Training and Education;
- Effective emergency preparedness and accident management process.
FSMS Continuous improvement & TPM
Agenda
- Usage of Deming PDCA continuous improvement cycle in factory applications
- PDCA & TPM
PDCA continuous improvement![](https://improvement.company/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/PDCA-continuous-improvement.png)
Factories should be using the Deming continuous improvement cycle to continuously improve their Food Safety Systems
Factories should already be using the plan, do, check act continuous improvement cycle as a component of TPM. We should be applying our current continuous improvement activities towards FSSC 22000 implementation.
Plan
- Incident KPI’s
- CCPMU KPI’s
- Employee training
- Company standards
- HACCP peer reviews
- Design HACCP
Plan activities include setting KPI objectives, corporate standards, HACCP peer reviews, design HACCP and employee training.
Do
(Development and Implementation)
- Operational HACCP plans
- OPRP’s
- PRP’s
- SOP’s
Do activities include the development and implementation of factory food safety management systems.
Check
- Internal Audits
- QVP Self Assessment
- Foreign Material risk assessment
- Hygiene monitoring
- Annual HACCP Reassessment
- Operational Quality Reviews
- Allergen risk assessment
- Food safety team open actions
Act
Improvement plan implementation
- Quality self assessments
- OQR’s
- Foreign material risk assessment
- Allergen risk assessment
- HACCP reassessment
- Food safety team open action completion
Focused Improvements
Autonomous Maintenance (Ability to sustain)![](https://improvement.company/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Plan-Do-PDCA.png)
Examples:
- Procedures
- Cleaning
- Preventive Maintenance
- Inspection
- Standardization
FSMS Focused Improvement (Ability to improve)
Examples:
- Incident reduction
- CCPMU reduction
- Examples of tools:
- Loss tree
- Internal audits
- Why, why analysis
- Fishbone diagrams
- Control charts
- Pareto charts
PDCA and Process Approach
PDCA How it works
PDCA applies to all Processes!!!
PDCA in ISO 22000
FSSC 22000 Food Safety Management System
- Explain the origin of the FSSC 22000 Scheme.
- Explain documents involved in the approved GFSI standard.
- Explain the interaction between ISO 22000, ISO/TS 22000-1 and FSSC Additional Documents (Part I).
Main purpose of a Food Safety Management System (FSMS)
- Ensure hazard control by combining the PRPs, Operational PRPs and the HACCP plan
- Useful tool for ensuring compliance with requirements (legal / customers)
- Continuous improvement of processes based on objective measurement
- Process approach – provides a method for risk management
ISO22000:2005
What is FSSC 22000?
- FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification) is a combination of: ISO 22000:2005, ISO/TS 220002-1 ( previously PAS 220) and the Additional Requirements (Part I);
- Developed and owned by the Foundation for Food Safety Certification and supported by the Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries of the European Union (CIAA);
- FSSC = Foundation for Food Safety Certification;
- Currently approved only for specific sectors in the food chain.
A process based ISO 22000:2005
The Framework of ISO 22000:2005
ISO 22000 Requirements
Most of the clauses in section 7 are covered by the development and implementation of the operational HACCP study.
Great article, thank you for sharing. I liked that you added in all of the flow charts and organization charts. This helped give the article a better understanding to a reader that might not know a whole lot about Food Safety System Certification. Our headquarters are based in Adelaide, South Australia and we have hired JLB http://www.jlb.com.au/business/management-system/main/fssc-22000-and-iso-22000/ to implement our FSSC. Having this system in place has helped us a lot especially when it comes to future auditing.
