Safety, Quality & Packaging

Every pack safe, every time. Quality statistics, HACCP and food safety management, packaging materials and shelf-life engineering.

• Quality, Reliability & Design of Experiments — Statistics that run factories and test labs. Learn statistical process control (x̄-R charts, control limits, rules), process capability Cp and Cpk, tolerance analysis, reliability statistics (MTBF, hazard, bathtub curve), and design of experiments (factorial designs, main effects and interactions).
• Food Safety, Quality Assurance & HACCP — Making sure every pack is safe and consistent. Learn food hazards (biological, chemical, physical, allergens), prerequisite programmes (GMP, GHP, pest control, sanitation), HACCP's 7 principles with hazard analysis, CCPs, critical limits and monitoring, food safety management systems (ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, BRCGS), FSSAI regulations and labelling, sampling plans and operating characteristic curves, microbiological criteria, traceability and recalls, and food fraud — with Python for acceptance probability and CCP monitoring.
• Food Packaging & Shelf-Life Engineering — Protecting food until it's eaten. Learn packaging functions (containment, protection, convenience, communication), materials (glass, metal, paper, plastics — PET, PE, PP, multilayer laminates), barrier properties (OTR, WVTR, permeability), modified atmosphere and vacuum packaging, active packaging (oxygen scavengers, desiccants, antimicrobials) and intelligent packaging (indicators, RFID), aseptic packaging, shelf-life determination and accelerated shelf-life testing with Arrhenius kinetics, migration and food-contact safety, and sustainable packaging — with Python for oxygen ingress and ASLT prediction.
