If your business is not able to resolve issues in the factory, I can help you out with this. I am an experienced auditor and able to investigate and confirm why the problem is occurring in the factory by establishing the root course.
Recent trouble shooting exercises include:
Chlorinated vegetables were contaminated with listeria
Root Cause: The factory was not immersing vegetables in chlorinated water properly. The vegetables should have been dipped for a minimum period (sufficient contact time).
Challenge tests were not being carried out properly on the auto-coding system for one packing line
Root Cause: The line was using a barcoding system rather than a camera. Introduced a challenge test which was suitable for a barcode system.
When the root problem has been identified then it is possible to implement the action plan to resolve the issue.
