How to Develop an Effective Product Specification for Food Safety and Customer Satisfaction

Why Should You Attend:

An effective specification not only define the product and process being purchased by the customer, but also serves as an extension of the purchasing contract. Specifications are customer’s greatest tool for ensuring products received meet the quality and safety standards expected. Effective specifications must be complete and accurate. All requirements must be contained within the specification.

Shipping, receiving, expectations, pre-requisite quality programs, packaging guidelines and any other requirements should be detailed in the specification. Accuracy is the second attribute critical to a product specification. The supplier must have processes, programs and materials capable of meeting the specification and end the product must meet the ultimate customers' demands.
