Os requisitos de qualidade e segurança alimentar são cada vez mais exigentes, implicando a realização de mais auditorias aos fornecedores de produtos alimentícios. Os Sistemas de Gestão da Segurança Alimentar (SGSA), através da sua abordagem integrada, garantem a segurança alimentar em todas as etapas do fornecimento alimentar. Um dos referenciais de SGSA mais utilizados atualmente na área alimentar é a International Featured Standards (IFS) Food, que estabelece um padrão com um sistema de avaliação uniforme. A IFS Food versão 6.1 contempla 281 requisitos agrupados em seis capítulos: responsabilidade da gestão; gestão da qualidade e da segurança alimentar; gestão de recursos; planeamento e processo de produção; medição, análises e melhorias e defesa alimentar. A certificação IFS Food permite atingir a excelência em qualidade e segurança alimentar, aumentar a satisfação dos clientes e conquistar uma vantagem competitiva no mercado. A crescente digitalização da indústria alimentar tem levado à introdução de sistemas de produção inteligentes como é o caso do software Flow Manufacturing (Flow M) da FoodInTech. Este sistema controla todas as fases do processo produtivo, assegura a rastreabilidade, aumenta a produtividade e a qualidade dos produtos e reduz os custos de produção. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar o estudo para a implementação da IFS Food numa empresa de especiarias e ervas aromáticas, a Navires, com recurso ao software Flow M. O trabalho foi estruturado em cinco fases. Nas fases 1 e 2 ocorreu, respetivamente, o estudo e a participação em formações da norma e do software. Na fase 3 analisou-se o SGSA da Navires e verificou-se os requisitos IFS com a identificação da documentação correspondente e a elaboração de uma checklist onde cada requisito foi classificado como “cumprido”, “não implementado” ou “não aplicável” (NA). A fase 4 correspondeu à implementação do Flow M, onde os documentos levantados ficaram retratados nos seguintes módulos: receção; processos produtivos; embalamento; registos; qualidade; incidências e documentos. Na fase 5 foi elaborado o documento com a matriz de correspondência entre os requisitos IFS, os documentos da Navires e os módulos do Flow. Foram cumpridos 230 requisitos IFS, 31 ficaram por implementar e 20 foram considerados não aplicáveis. O software ficou praticamente todo parametrizado e começou a ser utilizado pelos colaboradores e gerência. A empresa ficou dotada de um sistema de gestão industrial e qualidade alimentar e com a maioria dos requisitos da norma IFS Food 6.1 implementados.
Quality and food safety requirements are increasingly demanding, which implies more audits on food manufacturers. The Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS), through their integrated approach, guarantee food safety at all stages of food supply. Currently, one of the most used FSMS schemes in the food sector is the International Featured Standards (IFS) Food, which stablishes a uniform evaluation system. IFS Food version 6.1 includes 281 requirements grouped into six chapters: senior management responsibility; quality and food safety management system; resource management; planning and production process; measurements, analysis and improvements and food defense. IFS Food certification allows companies to achieve excellence in quality and food safety, increase customer satisfaction and gain a competitive advantage in the market place. The growing digitization of the food industry has led to the introduction of intelligent production systems such as the Flow Manufacturing (Flow M) software from FoodInTech. This system controls all phases of the production process, guarantees traceability, increases productivity and product quality and reduces production costs. The objective of this work was to carry out a study for the implementation of IFS Food in a spices and aromatic herbs’ company, Navires, using the Flow M software. The work was structured in five phases. In phases 1 and 2, the study and participation in training on the standard and the software took place, respectively. In phase 3, the SGSA of Navires was analyzed and the IFS requirements were verified with the identification of the corresponding documentation and the creation of a checklist where each requirement was classified as "compliant", "not implemented" or "not applicable" (NA). Phase 4 corresponded to the implementation of the Flow M, where the documents collected were portrayed in the following modules: reception; productive processes; packaging; records; quality; incidences and documents. In phase 5, the document with the correspondence matrix between the IFS requirements, the Navires documents and the Flow modules was elaborated. 230 IFS requirements were fulfilled, 31 remained to be implemented and 20 were considered not applicable. The software was practically all parameterized and began to be used by employees and management. The company was equipped with an industrial management and food quality system and with most of the requirements of the IFS Food 6.1 standard implemented.
