I am so stoked for December of this year Why? Qualitas Executive Group reserves 10% of net profit for employee distribution Right now, we have $30,074 (and climbing) that will be distributed across our full time team before the holidays Having been burned in almost every role when it comes to bonuses... I'm looking forward to keeping this promise to our team #quality #compliance #consulting #CPG #bonuses

Sign blindness: the presence of so many signs no one pays attention to any of them Why does this happen? Because there are requirements for signage at GMP facilities (“hand wash only sink”, for example) What ends up happening is misguided folks throw signs on everything and eliminate freedom to operate When you have signs on everything and eliminate freedom to operate, a reality opposite of your desired outcome takes place The fewer signs the better Make up the difference with training Here’s a challenge for you: Take down every single sign in your facility except for those related to hand washing, equipment cleaning/sanitation, gowning, employee safety (don’t take down those LOTO signs), asset identification, and see what happens Odds are, nothing will happen other than your site has fewer visual distractions Signs don’t manage your team - you do If I see a sign that tells someone to do something related to a regulated activity like holding, distributing, manufacturing, labeling, reprocessing, whatever, and it’s not a controlled doc called out in an SOP… You’re getting an audit finding from yours truly Keep the required signs, train your team, give them freedom to operate, and eat a Snickers because you’re probably grumpy about losing your signs It’ll be ok, I promise #quality #compliance #heresyoursign #manufacturing #CPG

Hot take: manufacturers complain about unskilled labor because they have sh*t training programs Give ‘em skills Those floor-level employees are the backbone of your business Respect them Train them Give them an opportunity to succeed If you do that, you will have the most loyal, dedicated team out there I will plant my flag and die on this hill 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ Disagree? #quality #compliance #manufacturing #training #CPGindustry

The Four Horsemen of Quality Neglect Blindness Waste Silence In case you're not familiar... Neglect - quality is a direct reflection of leadership commitment Blindness - you cannot solve problems you refuse to acknowledge Waste - inefficiency is to business what rust is to metal Silence - your ability to improve will never exceed your ability to listen All four can be addressed if you leap out of your comfort zone What are the Four Horsemen of _________ in your world? #quality #compliance #manufacturing #brands #CPGindustry #consulting

If I put together an actionable summary of Qualitas Executive Group’s general recommendations across ALL facility audits, who wants to see it? If there’s enough interest, I’ll find a 25th hour in the day sometime soon to put one together React or comment on this post to let me know if YOU want it 💪🏻 Who knows, I just might share general recommendations for brand quality systems too 👀 #quality #compliance #auditing #manufacturing #consulting #brands #CPGindustry

Me last week: I’m going to make Christina’s life easier while I’m traveling by adding salad kits to our grocery delivery Me 2 days ago: oh cool literally all of these are being recalled for Listeria #quality #compliance #manufacturing #CPGindustry #salad #swabthosedrains #listeria
