Good Manufacturing Practices in the Food Industry: Part II
Click on the boxes on the right-hand side
of this page for more information.
Food processing and handling facilities have a responsibility to create products that people can safely enjoy… but if employees don't take the proper precautions, the food that they work with could become contaminated by harmful microorganisms.
In order to reduce this risk, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has created a regulation called "Current Good Manufacturing Practices" that establishes criteria for creating a contamination-free environment.
To adhere to the FDA regulation, each food processing and handling facility must develop their own set of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) that can help prevent contamination… so that their food products will be safe to eat.
MARCOM's course “Good Manufacturing Practices in the Food Industry: Part II” contains valuable information about how employees can help their facility meet the criteria set by the last four sections of the FDA's GMP regulation… addressing Sanitary Facilities and Controls, Equipment and Utensils, Manufacturing Processing and Controls, and Warehousing and Distribution.
Topics covered in the course include:
- An overview of the last four sections of the FDA's GMP regulation
- Preventing contamination in the water supply
- Keeping equipment and utensils in good working order
- Avoiding contaminants during manufacturing operations
- …and more.

Adaptive Learning
“Adaptive Learning” takes advantage of an employee’s existing knowledge to create training courses that are customized for that employee, and don’t “reteach” them things that they already know. In other words, the Adaptive Learning process determines what an employee already knows about a topic, then structures courses that contain only the information that the employee needs to complete their knowledge of the topic.
These individually customized courses eliminate the largest employee complaint about safety training (“I already know most of this stuff, so why do I have to go through this training again?!”), while potentially recapturing thousands of hours of lost productivity.
MARCOM’s Adaptive Learning courses test employees before they take the course. Then based on the questions that they answer correctly, the course itself determines if the employee knows enough about the information in each chapter in the course to “test out” of that chapter… and if they do, automatically reconfigures the course to skip those chapters.
Reconfiguring the courses in this way typically saves about 50% of an employee’s time in taking a course. Over a year’s time this can recapture a significant amount of lost productivity time for a company of any size, and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual savings.
