Food Safety Responsibility vs. Authority
(Repeat)
Speaker: Randy Kohal, VP Food Safety
and Reliability, Nexcor Food Safety
Technologies
Room: W314
Price: $30 if purchased as a single session;
or included in the Super Pass
Food Safety is not a one man or one department
job; and for successful risk mitigation
it can't be treated as such. Food
Safety is an all-encompassing responsibility
that must be optimized and streamlined
at the lowest level all the way up through
corporate management.
When necessary transparency is lacking,
many manufacturers end up grappling
with diverging mindsets.
1) When you have a corporate team that
has the authority to make decisions, but
none of the important information from
the facilities to validate said decisions,
you're open to risk. Risk of recalls, poor
audits, consumer risk, unnecessary
spending and more.
2) It is the responsibility of facility sanitation
teams to execute food safety and
sanitation tasks but if their documentation
is stored onsite in binders and
various clipboards how can they really
know if their efforts and resource usage
is appropriate?
We are going to explore ways to bridge
this gap and increase transparency
throughout organizations while decreasing
the burden of physical paperwork, resource
allocation and decision making.

Modern Parts Rooms for ForwardThinking
Operations
Speaker: Robert Burgh, President,
Nexcor Food Safety Technologies
Room: W304
Price: $30 if purchased as a single session;
or included in the Super Pass
The parts room is the foundation of any
Engineering department and as such it
is often inappropriately overlooked as
the source of maintenance impediments.
Poor parts room management can have
traumatic effects on resource allocation,
preventive maintenance, OEE and more.
The parts room, how it's structured and
how it's run, drives the maintenance
culture at a bakery. We are going to
