HACCP

• Management Commitment Program initiated by our
  Vice President/Share Holder after attending a PAC
  Seminar
• Steering Committee Meetings Active Member
• Standard Development Active member in
  developing the Rigid Plastic Standard.
• Pilot Customized the Prerequisite Program
  Requirements and implemented over 90 of the
  requirements.
• Future ISO 2200?

5
Management Commitment

• Strategic plan identified growth in both the food
  and medical markets,
• HACCP was identified an excellent tool to achieve
  our goals and objectives.
• We established an implementation committee
  consisting of 10 personnel (Senior Management,
  Operations, HR, Sales, Engineering, QA,
  Technical, Logistics, Purchasing, Planning,
  Production)

6
Steering Committee

• Steering committee provided an overall
  perspective of the project including the interest
  and needs of the stake holders (i.e. One of our
  major food account attended these meetings and
  was impressed that Cousins Currie was a member of
  this committee)

7
Rigid Plastic Standard Committee

• The Rigid Plastic Standard Committee consisted of
  many stake holders with varied interests. The
  inputs provided by the government, customers,
  suppliers, consultants including GFTC were
  valuable in drafting the standard. It also
  provided us with a different perspective on some
  aspects of the standard that we viewed as too
  stringent for the blow molding industry.

8
Pilot

• Our team had one day of training with GFTC
  including a review of the pilot objectives and
  Process. In addition to the pilot objectives our
  team agreed to implement the program requirements
  where possible.
• Each segment of the prerequisite program
  requirements was electronically assigned to
  members of our team for customization.

9
Pilot

• The standard and workbooks were workable, clear,
  easy to use, complete and effective. Some
  formatting issues encountered were easy to
  overcome.
• The biggest hurdle encountered was the cost and
  time required to implement some of the
  requirements (i.e.. Lights) though beyond the
  scope of the pilots objectives.

Future

• We are strongly considering the ISO 2200 standard
  towards integrating our ISO 90012000 QMS with
  HACCP.
• HACCP has made a difference within our
  facilitates with improved consistency in
  housekeeping and adherence to our jewelry policy.
• The measurable impact may be captured in our
  manufacturing scrap (currently less than 1.5)
  where contamination is the second biggest
  contributor. This may also reduce our customer
  rejects in terms of DPPM.
