When a producer wishes to ensure the quality of products, it is necessary to identify where losses in quality are likely to occur and then find methods to control the process and to improve the product. If for example, a problem is due to poor quality raw materials or ingredients, this should be discussed with suppliers and if necessary, the processor should introduce appropriate testing methods with tolerance limits that are agreed with the supplier. If a problem is due to a processing condition, such as the time or temperature of heating, the process control is improved by better staff training, use of thermometers etc.. All changes should be monitored to make sure that they are effective and details of the changes should be recorded in a Production Workbook. Such procedures are intended to control the parts of the process that significantly affect product quality and therefore help the processor to employ staff where they are most effective.
