Automated Food Safety and Quality Management with NWA QIS
Automated Food Safety and Quality Management with NWA QIS™
Better HACCP compliance while you improve safety and reduce costs.
NWA Quality Information System combines process management and improvement with improved food safety compliance.
Studies have shown that active process management and continuous process improvement enable successful food-safety programs. NWA has extended its system of plant-floor data collection, data management, analytics, and quality improvement to encompass Pre-Requisite Program (PRP) and HACCP program data collection.
HACCP programs are the basis of modern food-safety standards such as ISO 22000 and the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). However, collecting PRP and HACCP data manually is an expensive overhead for your operational budget, and the volume of data quickly overwhelms paper-based systems. Automated systems are the only realistic way for food processors to collect the data and provide the response time and analytics needed.
NWA QIS provides the most effective way to handle these operational food-safety requirements. When integrated with track/trace and compliance-management systems, QIS forms the core of the Food Safety Management System (FSMS) required by commercial standards such as ISO22000 and GFSI and US and European Union regulations.
Time Savings and Performance Improvement
- NWA QIS will significantly reduce the time that safety and quality teams now spend manually collecting safety and quality data. Skilled staff can better focus on solving important problems and improving operations.
- Quality and HACCP managers can more rapidly and accurately produce analytics and reports for customers or management.
Automated Paperless Data Collection and Record Management
- NWA QIS reduces data-collection errors that result from manual data collection, transcription errors into spreadsheets or other databases, and the additional manipulation used to create reports. The highly configurable user interface allows quick and effective data capture that can be used by a wide range of operators.
- Electronic data collection facilitates better traceability and analytics, especially when handling multiday analysis and problem monitoring.
- NWA QIS ends the stacks of raw data-collection forms and provides a proper database of PRP and HACCP information with rapidly retrievable analytics and reports.

Webcast
Implementing Food Safety Management Systems to meet Regulations and GFSI Standards examines the requirements of food-safety legislation and the GFSI and how these can be met by integrating commercial off-the-shelf systems for food safety, quality, traceability, and compliance management. Not only does this approach make a compliant FSMS more efficient and effective, it will reduce corporate risk and total cost of ownership.
