Why zero measurement specification management is important
You have to meet legal requirements for labeling, but that is not always enough. International standards, such as GFSI guidelines, also set requirements for labeling and specification management.
A baseline measurement shows whether your current working method is still in line with these standards. This way you can avoid mistakes, recalls and lack of clarity towards customers and regulators.
Our approach
We carry out a targeted sampling within your organization. We examine, among other things:
- Whether labels meet all legal requirements
- Whether raw material specifications have been correctly translated into recipes
- How changes are implemented in documents and systems
- Whether the internal information flow is logical and reliable
You quickly get a clear overview of the current situation, without lengthy audits or disruption of processes.
What does the baseline measurement give you?
After the baseline measurement, you know exactly where you stand. You will gain insight into risks, gaps and areas for improvement within your specification management process. Together we then determine what steps are needed to optimize processes and make them future-proof.
Concrete benefits for you
- Your labels are spot-checked
- You discover bottlenecks in internal information flows
- You prevent errors caused by incorrect or outdated specifications
- You work more efficiently with clear responsibilities
