TraceGains’ Looks at ISO 22000 and Profitability in Quality Digest
“Most people equate traceability with material movement—that’s a last-century concept," says Gary Nowacki, president of TraceGains, a brand protection and promotion solutions provider. "You also have to collect all the surrounding information, and then analyze that information to make good business decisions."
Manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler looks at the fact that ISO 22000 Standards Without Profitability Are Doomed in the current issue of Quality Digest.
Traceability can no longer remain an insurance policy that only pays off when something goes wrong, Nowacki explains. Payoff typically in that case is usually only compliance with the Food Bioterrorism Act. By monitoring their supply chain, companies avoid recalls, which has little to do with traceability but everything to do with profitability and brand protection. The Reasons for ISO 22000
“While the media is quick to report the latest hysteria contamination, or salmonella outbreak, and how a company was lax it meeting a standard, the thin margins of these organizations must ensure that beyond simply reacting to the Food Bioterrorism Act, HACCP requirements, GAP/GMP best practices, or the ISO 22000 standard," Nowacki adds. "The vast data collected by an advanced traceability solution informs better, leaner, and more profitability throughout the supply chain while improving product safety and quality.”
