...MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Food safety is related to the presence of food-borne hazards in food at the point of consumption (intake by the consumer). As the introduction of food safety hazards can occur at any stage of the food chain, adequate control throughout the food chain is essential. You are required to integrate food safety into Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) management system. Please define the following: a. Correspondence or cross reference between food safety and EHS management system. ISO 22000, published on 1 September 2005, is a new International Standard designed toensure safe food supply chains worldwide and the first of a family on food safety management systems. Food safety management systems – Requirements for any organization in the food chain, provides a framework of internationally harmonized requirements for the global approach that is needed. The standard has been developed within ISO by experts from the food industry, along with representatives of specialized international organizations and in close cooperation with the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the body jointly established by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) to develop food standards. Many organizations that use ISO 22000 systems are now choosing to also implement ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 compliant systems due to factors such as demands of government regulations, customers, risk management, market requirements and corporate...

...NAME SHIMPEKE COURSE FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT 1.Management cannot supervise effectively beyond a limited number of persons and determination of the appropriate number is difficult. Explain the factors involved in determining the proper number. (20 marks) The number of persons that management can effectively supervise and oversee in business is indeed one difficult to determine and there is no tangible, workable formula that cab be universally applied to arrive at the ideal figure. This is because there are a number of factors involved which vary across industry type, individuals, and so forth. (Urwick, L.E.1956) Span of control is a term in business management, usually in human resource management. Span of control refers to the number of subordinates who report directly to a given manager or supervisor; the more people under the control of one manager. (Koontz, H.1966) - the wider the span of control. Less means a narrower span of control. The factors affecting this aspect and that need to be considered before an ideal number is obtained are as follows: Geographical dispersion; the geographical dispersion is when the branches of a certain business are widely dispersed. Then the managers will find it difficult to supervise each of them, because the span of control will be smaller. (Koontz, H.1966) Capability of workers; the capability of workers is important is important in that if workers are highly capable, they do not require much supervision and can be left on their...

... Page 21 HAZARD ANALYSIS AND CRITICAL CONTROL POINT (HACCP) SYSTEM AND GUIDELINES FOR ITS APPLICATION Annex to CAC/RCP 1-1969 (Rev. 4 - 2003) PREAMBLE The first section of this document sets out the principles of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The second section provides general guidance for the application of the system while recognizing that the details of application may vary depending on the circumstances of the food operation.2 The HACCP system, which is science based and systematic, identifies specific hazards and measures for their control to ensure the safety of food. HACCP is a tool to assess hazards and establish control systems that focus on prevention rather than relying mainly on end-product testing. Any HACCP system is capable of accommodating change, such as advances in equipment design, processing procedures or technological developments. HACCP can be applied throughout the food chain from primary production to final consumption and its implementation should be guided by scientific evidence of risks to human health. As well as enhancing food safety, implementation of HACCP can provide other significant benefits. In addition, the application of HACCP systems can aid inspection by regulatory authorities and promote international trade by increasing confidence in food safety. The successful application of HACCP requires the full commitment and involvement of management and the work force...

...CHART 3.0 : HAZARD ANALYSIS WORKSHEET 4.0 : HACCP SUMMARY PLAN 6.0 : SUMMARY OF PRE-REQUISITE PROGRAMMES 1.0 : SCOPE OF HACCP PLAN AND FOOD SAFETY OBJECTIVES Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a science-based system that aims to prevent food safety problems from occurring rather than having to react to non-compliance of the finished product. The HACCP system accomplishes this by the identification of specific hazards and the implementation of control measures. An effective HACCP system should reduce the reliance on traditional end-product testing. The objective of this research is to explain the principles of HACCP as it applies from production and until to handling and processing of Surimi processing. In this research, the researcher only explain on how to use the seven principles of HACCP and offer suggestions as to the type of hazards that may occur in the Surimi product. The researched HACCP plan was documented and it has been simplified. This section demonstrates one format that may be considered in the development of an HACCP plan. From the research, the QL Marine Product Sdn Bhd has applied the seven HACCP principles which listed in table 1.0 below: Table 1.0: The seven HACCP principles applied.
