Course Overview
Most defects in food traceability and safety are designed in long before they are detected. Improvement in traceability and safety that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the practice within quality and productivity management, ready to be adapted internally. The difficulty is not agreeing that food traceability and safety matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants who influence this part of quality and productivity management without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make traceability and safety hard in practice. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better food traceability and safety is rarely technical. This programme builds traceability and safety from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the wider quality and productivity management agenda sustainable.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Integrate traceability and safety into existing management routines rather than running it separately.
Design the internal audit programme covering food traceability and safety.
Benchmark traceability and safety against comparable operations honestly.
Identify the sources of variation in food traceability and safety and rank them by effect.
Apply structured problem solving to recurring defects in traceability and safety.
Align food traceability and safety with the wider objectives of the operating process rather than optimising it in isolation.
Who Should Attend
Coordinators responsible for keeping records and documentation of food traceability and safety current.
Supplier quality engineers assessing inputs to traceability and safety.
Finance staff quantifying the cost of quality in food traceability and safety.
Quality staff verifying that traceability and safety performs as designed.
Health, safety and environmental staff whose systems integrate with food traceability and safety.
Department managers accountable for productivity of traceability and safety.
Course Modules
Food traceability and safety: cost of poor quality
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Sustaining the gain on food traceability and safety after the project ends
- Define quality for food traceability and safety in terms the customer would recognise.
- Review whether traceability and safety is aligned with the objectives of the operating process.
- Remove steps in food traceability and safety that add effort without adding assurance.
- Identify non-value-adding steps in traceability and safety and remove them.
Session 2Solving the defect in traceability and safety that keeps returning
- Benchmark food traceability and safety against a comparable operation and record the gap.
- Record what was tried on traceability and safety and did not work, and why.
- Rank the weaknesses in food traceability and safety by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- Set sampling for traceability and safety on statistical grounds, not on habit.
Traceability and safety: control plans, sampling and acceptance
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1What to measure in traceability and safety and what to ignore

- Set the review cadence that sustains gains in traceability and safety.
- Compare the cost of food traceability and safety with the cost of its absence.
- Rehearse the briefing on traceability and safety that would follow an incident.
Session 2Building the method for traceability and safety step by step
- Prepare the summary of food traceability and safety that senior management will read.
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to traceability and safety will be introduced.
- Identify the few causes responsible for most defects in food traceability and safety.
