Web-based Food Supply Chain Monitor
David Wagman | May 30, 2017BSI Supply Chain Services and Solutions released food safety and fraud intelligence and assessment management modules.
The modules are intended to allow users to monitor and assess the threat of food contamination, food adulteration, mislabeling, recalls, and otherwise deceptive food and beverage products.
The web-based Supply Chain Risk Exposure Evaluation Network (SCREEN) provides threat ratings for more than 200 countries along with interactive risk maps and qualitative reports. SCREEN's Food Module provides insight into food safety and fraud risks as well as global security, corporate social responsibility and business continuity threats and trends that could impact the food supply chain.
BSI's SCREEN Food Module provides real-time updates regarding food-related incidents, such as contamination, food fraud, food safety, forced labor, natural disasters, theft, smuggling and more, to help users monitor and proactively manage potential supply chain exposures.
BSI also released a Supplier Compliance Manager (SCM) Food Module to help food manufacturers and retailers assess the quality, safety, and security of their supply chain and business partners. SCM is a web-based, automated assessment management solution that allows users to manage the assessment process.
SCM provides a way to manage self-assessments, on-site audits, corrective actions, communications, and more along with a dashboard to track program progress.
SCM provides off-the-shelf templates based on the available Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Threat Assessment Critical Control Point/Vulnerability Assessment,and Critical Control Points (TACCP/VACCP) criteria, as well as other Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) checklists.
The templates are customizable to allow users to tailor the assessments to meet their needs. SCM's assessment method incorporates SCREEN's geographic risk intelligence into the process to provide users with a risk-based view of their business partners.
