Question 1 of 30
EcoFoods Inc., a manufacturer of organic baby food, is transitioning to ISO 22000:2018. As part of the transition, the company must establish a robust system for documenting information related to its Food Safety Management System (FSMS). The documentation needs to comply with the requirements of ISO 22000:2018, ensuring that all necessary information is available, controlled, and maintained. Considering the principles of ISO 22000:2018, which of the following strategies would be most effective for EcoFoods Inc. to manage its documented information to ensure compliance, traceability, and continuous improvement within its FSMS, while minimizing risks associated with outdated or inaccurate information?
Implement a centralized electronic document management system with version control, access controls, and regular review cycles, ensuring that all documents are easily retrievable and traceable, and that obsolete documents are promptly removed from circulation.
Maintain a paper-based system with physical archives, relying on manual tracking and approvals, and conducting periodic audits to ensure document integrity, focusing on minimizing costs associated with technology implementation.
Allow individual departments to manage their own documentation independently, without a centralized system, to promote flexibility and autonomy, while relying on informal communication to ensure consistency across the organization.
Store all documents on shared network drives without version control or access restrictions, relying on employees to self-manage document updates and deletions, prioritizing ease of access over document security and accuracy.
