🔍 Understanding Sensor Calibration: Beyond mere adjustments, calibration services ensure error-free operation by addressing measurement uncertainties, leading to reliable data collection and analysis. 🛠️ Significance: Sensors such as load cells are susceptible to errors caused by aging, output drift, and overload. Annual recalibration is imperative to uphold accuracy and maintain consistent performance. 🔄 Ensuring Accuracy: Through regular recalibration, you can verify whether your sensor meets specifications over time, providing a calibration certificate as evidence of reliability. Don't underestimate the significance of calibration—it serves as the foundation for trustworthy measurements.

Our IA series continues as we share another key content change from the previous to the latest Global IA Standards. 🔍 Quality Assessment Implications The Standards require an External Quality Assessment (EQA) to be performed at least every five years; but the latest Standards further focus on the concept that conformance alone is not enough, and performance must also be considered during EQAs. Therefore, Quality = Conformance + Performance. Additionally, one EQA team member must be an active Certified Internal Auditor (CIA). The current Quality Assessment Manual remains in effect until January 2025, and the updated manual is expected to be released sometime this year. EQAs can still be performed under the previous standards until then. Rather than waiting until 2025 to perform an EQA, internal audit departments should consider whether it makes sense to perform an EQA this year, ideally combined with a readiness assessment against the new Standards. If you need a team to perform an EQA or readiness assessment, contact us here: https://bit.ly/3xDSBQC.

Heading to a company internal QMS training early next week has sparked reflections on the past. Over 24 years ago, I created my "product crisis avoidance" framework without having received any formal quality training before. Surprisingly, it remains relevant today. It's amazing how Quality Management Systems (QMS) now play a significant role in my life. #QualityManagement #ContinuousImprovement

Expectations are set in many ways: > Have manufacturing instructions been diligently adhered to? > Are product standards acceptable according to the quality attribute sheet (QAS)? > Have all specification criteria been met? > Does analytical testing verify acceptability? Quality is not an ambiguous concept. Quality is acceptable when all the established expectations are met. #FoodManufacturing #FoodIndustry #FoodManufacturingIndustry #Food #FoodAndBeverage
