Why Foreign Object Management Is A Challenge

Here are some of the typical situations you might recognize in your current Foreign Object Management:

  • Your Customer found a Foreign Object in your product - AGAIN
  • Management and Maintenance change the equipment or tools without consulting QA
  • You implemented CCP's and/or OPRP's on Foreign Objects and now you want to focus on Preventive Actions
  • In the PreRequisite Program you mention that preventive measures are in place and you know you still have challenges with these foreign objects
  • You received non-conformity on Foreign Object Management
  • You were facing a recall on Foreign Objects
  • You sound like a broken record... for ever repeating to your colleagues to follow the rules - with little effect
  • If you hold an IFS certificate and need to meet requirements about Foreign Materials like 3.4.2, 4.12, Knock Out KO6 4.12.1*, 5.2 Site Factory Inspections and 5.8.2 Complaints Management, this training will be beneficial. It provides insights into the necessary actions and Best Practices, enabling you to customize the Foreign Object requirements you need to implement for your organization


And there might be many other situations in your facility...

... the question is: are you happy with your Foreign Object Management and what can you do to create a well-functioning preventive Foreign Object Management Program?
