I am a Microbiologist, and Food Safety Expert. Food is medicine, hence, I am passionate about ensuring safe, and quality food (and food products) are distributed in the food chain.
Recently while I worked with a food company in one of their product lines, I observed a deviation in one of their packing lines. Unfortunately, no quality assurance personnel was there - only the production and maintenance team were. So, I called their attention to it. To my heartbreak they told me it wasn't part of their JD, that it is the QA's. Therefore, because the concerned team wasn't there, they can't stop the machine and make the necessary corrections. And really, that was one of the loudest observations I made while I toured the factory - the QA / QC teams were almost absent on the production floor. The rest of the story is history (or maybe I will tell you another time). However at that moment I remembered what one of my line Managers used to tell us (the QA team) many years ago: "The job of the QA executive is not to sit in the office. Your office is the production floor. You only come to the office when it is necessary or during your break. You must register your presence on the floor!" Honestly, a lot of us didn't understand him then. However, over time in my journey as a Quality Assurance and Food Safety Professional I agreed he was right. How can you really "assure" a process without following through it (especially in systems that are not yet self running)? On the other hand, there is a call for better orientation and regenerated mindset for food handlers. When it comes to food safety, there's nothing like, "it's the QA / QC job". Meanwhile, this old picture of mine reminds me of the faithfulness of God in my career journey.

With the help of the #SSQA_NODE strategy, we could explore this together if you wish: https://lnkd.in/gR7F-6u7

We got a 99 on our most recent food safety audit! It was such a good feeling. You know what was an even better feeling? DM'ing Nate Call, CMQ/OE halfway through the audit to let him know that I forgot to plan lunch for the auditor 😬 😂 Eighteen months ago, we had our first ever audit. It went well and there was definitely lots of room for learning and improvement. Fast forward to 2024, there is still room for improvement. However, it doesn't seem as daunting as it once did. What I've learned through interacting with auditors (and by following the Qualitas Executive Group updates) is: 1. Quality is everyone's responsibility. If you make it part of your company culture and get everyone involved, then it's much easier to look at audits as exciting opportunities to learn. 2. Auditors, generally, want small businesses to succeed. The feedback they give is to keep your customers and teams safe. Treat them like an invaluable extension of your team, offering feedback and support. #SARJESA #manufacturingexcellence #qualitymatters

PDCA cycle is an effective method to ensure efficiency and continuous improvement of food safety systems. But can you apply it in your career as an FSQA professional? Would it benefit your company as well? Let us find out. Plan: At this stage, you can determine what you want to achieve as an FSQA professional in your company and what approach you would take. It can be: - establishing and implementing a new procedure - Improving the training materials and concepts, or - Improvising the present SOPs It can be anything that your present company is lacking. Create a list of these requirements and your approach to fulfill the gaps. You can discuss the same with your senior and the top management. However, there are chances only a few plans would get a green signal as soon as you propose. You can take this as a starting point for your's and your company's growth. Do: Now it's time to put the plan into action. You can team up with other employees, conduct meetings, and share the agenda. This would help you collect different opinions, perspectives, and knowledge to achieve your goals. Check: After implementing new updates, you should check whether these changes are efficient or add value to the company. You may have to use different verification methods to determine the same. Do it, and document the results. Because it is IMPORTANT! Act: At this stage, you have the results of verification procedures, and based on these results - you may have to either continue or modify the implemented systems. In my opinion, this should not be a dead end. You should be open to the continuous improvement of the systems - based on consumer demands and your company's objectives. If you follow this approach, you can have result-oriented tasks to add to your resume/portfolio. Also, you can be a critical part of your employer's growth in this process. Have you tried this before? What other approach have you tried to grow as an FSQA professional? Let me know in the comments :) #FSQAprofessionals #foodsafety #careergrowth #foodindustry #qualityassurance #qualitycontroller #PDCAcycle
