Silliker Total Quality Information Management Correctivee Action Module Customer Audit Site Manual
Overview of the Total Quality Information Management (TQIM) Corrective Action Module As a Silliker audit site, we recognize how devoted you and your plant employees are to food safety and quality issues. We understand that one of the action items after an audit is to identify the corrective action plans for audit deficiencies found during the audits. Managing food safety and quality issues, customer audit requirements and corrective actions can be very time consuming; thus Silliker has created a Corrective Action Module in our secure Total Quality Information Management (TQIM) database to assist in this process. The Silliker Corrective Action Tool allows you to identify the specific actions your plant will be taking. The process begins with an email sent to you automatically by Silliker s TQIM system advising that there were deficiencies that require action. The email contains a secure login and password to access the Silliker Corrective Action Tool. Once you have completely entered your action plans, an email will be automatically sent to your customer or corporate office, advising that your plans are available for review. Your customer or corporate office also has a secure login to the TQIM database and after login will be able to review your corrective action plans. Please note that no other unauthorized persons will be able to access or view your information. You will be notified via email of any input your customer or corporate office has about your plans. At that point or at any time prior to this, you will be able to update the status of your actions and indicate when they have been completed. Once you have set all of the actions to a complete status, the system will generate a final email to the customer or your corporate office, indicating completion of all tasks. The Silliker Corrective Action Tool also allows you to view a summary report that lists each question number, the status, the target date(s), responsibility and the completed date(s), which provides a quick reference for monitoring progress and a documentation file. The following pages contain a step-by-step guide on how to use the corrective action tool!
