About us
We understand that as a QA department you have a responsible task. And also that it takes time to get it all right. To save you some of this time, and so ensure that your QA staff can focus on their own work, engaging our consultants is a godsend. They help and think along with various types of work. For example:
- Searching for an appropriate (GFSI) standard.
- Implementing and certifying the quality system based on standards such as IFS Food, FSSC 22000 and BRCGS.
- Drawing up a quality manual and a step-by-step plan that suits your company
- Drawing up procedures, work instructions and forms
- Drafting verification report and management review
- Giving training
- Continuous improvement and updating of the system and quality manual
- Perform internal audits or baseline measurements

Sustainability 2.0: The next step for QA managers in the food industry
Sustainability has long since ceased to be an afterthought. Whereas the first wave of sustainability initiatives in the food industry focused mainly on visible measures such as less plastic, modified packaging and energy savings, it is now clear that the next step goes much further. Sustainability 2.0 is about a broader, integrated approach in which environment, quality, safety and people reinforce each other. For QA managers, this means a shift from a supporting to a strategic role. Their expertise in process control, traceability and risk management makes them ideally suited to link sustainability to the core of business operations. After all, sustainability is not only about what an organization does to reduce its impact on the environment, but also about how it makes itself future-proof.
