Digitized HACCP/QA checklists and recordkeeping

Purpose

1.1 Automate digitization of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and QA checklists to streamline compliance, enable automated recordkeeping, and ensure real-time monitoring in a food seasoning manufacturing environment.
1.2 Automating manual checklist data collection to reduce human error, support seamless audit preparation, and enable centralized, searchable records instantly.
1.3 Improve accountability and traceability by automating timestamped entries, digital sign-offs, and escalation of anomalies detected during production and quality control stages.
1.4 Automate trend analysis, alerts, and reporting for critical compliance points across shifts and production lines.

Trigger Conditions

2.1 Production batch start, shift change, or work order issued initiates automated QA form generation.
2.2 Checkpoint completion or staff submission of in-line QA/HACCP forms triggers automated data capture and validation.
2.3 Anomaly detection or missed entries automates escalations and notifications to supervisors or QA managers.
2.4 Scheduled intervals (e.g., end-of-day, end-of-shift) automate archiving and reporting of all completed checklists.
