TORONTO--June 28, 2006-- Pre-Assessment Service Will Examine Food Processor's Supply Chain, Processing, and Distribution Systems in Conjunction With the Implementation of JustFoodERP
QMI, North America's leading ISO Registrar, and JustFoodERP, a leading Microsoft partner providing software solutions for the food industry, are pleased to announce the availability of a new service offering designed to examine and to help improve business practices and food safety.
The pre-assessment service is a two day examination conducted by a certified auditor from QMI, an ISO accredited registrar. The service is designed to audit JustFoodERP's implementation of lot traceability, recall procedures, HACCP and other key business aspects provided through JustFoodERP.
The examination occurs during the implementation of JustFoodERP and provides customers with increased assurance that their newly automated business process will be in compliance to ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety Management Systems registration requirements.
"This offering is the first of its kind by any ISO Registrar," states John Kukoly, Product Manager for Food Safety, QMI. "Business systems such as JustFoodERP are vitally important to food companies today. QMI is demonstrating through this pre-assessment offering, how a registrar should be integrating the audit process to the tools actually used by food companies."
"With recent FDA requirements for a reduced response to inquiry, food companies need access to traceability information quickly," offers Marc DiGiorgio, VP JustFoodERP. "JustFoodERP customers are responding to one-up, one-down inquiries within 15 minutes. This pre-assessment service helps validate for our customers that JustFoodERP is able to satisfy the most stringent traceability requirements, represented by the ISO 22000:2005 requirements."
