1. Plan team and scope
Document HACCP team members, roles, plan scope, site, and product so the analysis begins with defined responsibility and context.
Connected, reviewable food safety
AvailableManage food safety from hazard analysis to monitoring and verification in one connected workflow
QSigma360 helps food safety teams establish a clear plan context and connect products, intended use, and process steps with hazards, controls, and monitoring records. When a deviation occurs, decisions, actions, and evidence can be followed without separating the written plan from day-to-day operations.
Make the plan part of operations, not a static file
A HACCP plan loses practical value when flow diagrams, hazard analysis, and control criteria are disconnected from monitoring, deviations, and verification records. QSigma360 provides a structured workspace for developing and maintaining the plan, then relating its controls to production activity, product holds, traceability, withdrawals, and recalls.
This connection helps teams understand why a control was selected, what must be monitored, what happened during a deviation, and who reviewed the response. The platform does not replace the HACCP team or qualified technical judgment; it makes the required context, evidence, and review path easier to manage.
Capabilities for connected food safety
2. Product and intended use
Organize product characteristics, ingredients, intended use, and relevant consumer considerations, and connect them to the hazard analysis and plan review.
3. Process flow and production steps
Build the process sequence and associate each step with supporting information and attachments for flow-diagram review and on-site confirmation.
4. Hazard analysis and evaluation
Record biological, chemical, physical, and other applicable hazards, their rationale, evaluation, and proposed controls under your approved methodology.
5. Control logic and control points
Support evaluation and classification of controls as PRP, OPRP, or CCP, with documented rationale and decision-tree responses where applicable.
6. Monitoring, deviation, and verification
Connect monitoring requirements to results, deviations, corrections, verification, and validation, with links to hold, traceability, withdrawal, and recall processes when needed.
How the plan moves into practice
- 1Define the plan: Establish the team, scope, product, and intended use.
- 2Map the process: Document each step and confirm that the flow reflects operations.
- 3Analyze hazards: Identify hazards, evaluate significance, and consider existing or required controls.
- 4Determine controls: Apply the approved logic and document PRP, OPRP, and CCP decisions.
- 5Monitor and respond: Record results, manage deviations, and protect affected product.
- 6Verify and maintain: Review evidence and trends, and revise the plan when conditions change.
Connected controls, accountable decisions
Food safety events can connect with documents, nonconformance, CAPA, product holds, traceability, withdrawals, recalls, and reports. Permissions and review govern each action, while hazard classification, control selection, and product-release decisions remain with qualified personnel. If AI assists with drafting or analysis, its output remains a suggestion until a person reviews and accepts it through the appropriate process.

Frequently asked questions
Does QSigma360 create and approve a HACCP plan automatically?
No. The platform helps the team structure information, analysis, evidence, and review. Plan validity, technical decisions, and approval remain the responsibility of qualified, authorized people.
Does the platform support CCP, OPRP, and PRP decisions?
Yes. QSigma360 supports control documentation, classification logic, and decision rationale, including decision-tree responses when used within the organization’s methodology.
What happens when a monitoring deviation is recorded?
The result, deviation, correction, and follow-up can be documented and linked to product hold, nonconformance, CAPA, or traceability according to impact and the approved decision.
Does using QSigma360 guarantee compliance or certification?
No. QSigma360 supports management of requirements, records, and evidence. It does not guarantee compliance, award certification, or replace professional verification or a certification body’s assessment.
