JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2026 LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION REVIEW 9 initiated a yearly training. Sounds boring, isn't it? But what if you turn that yearly training into a team building where the auditors can build their building program, visit other compavisitet teams of internmeettors from fellow quality managers and design the training as designs? The result? Every year, we have 34 new candidates to join the audit team, increasing the presence of quality inside the other departments of the company.Leading Quality in a Global, Transparent and Rapidly Evolving Food IndustryWhere the focus in the past was clearly on the internal production chain, we see a deeper and deeper integration of the whole supply chain, from the field and primary production until the product is at the end of the final customer. This broadening scope requires a profound knowledge of all steps, a good view of the transport organization and storage and an understanding of the behavior of products and packaging throughout their complete lifecycle. Global is the term: shipping products worldwide requires you to anticipate new regulations and legislations and integrate other required certifications and new priorities. Customers expect customers more transparency and higher sharing of information, connecting databases and this leads us to develop new systems and certifications that ultimately end up streamlined in the "integrated management system." Sustainability, energy management, social audits, ethics principles and compliance, every month new elements are added and this requires quality to connect more and more to other expert departments ­ but our responsibility is to avoid building 10 parallel systems that might start diverging and creating an unmanageable burden for the users. Our job is changing from Quality specialists to connectors for a combined system.Jump in!! Quality is an exciting world where you will experience new challenges every day. We bear an essential responsibility towards our consumers to guarantee safe and qualitative products and you can expect a job where you will never get bored! Quality is no longer just about control and compliance. It is about creating value, connecting across departments and leading change with purpose. As expectations grow, quality leaders must become system thinkers, communicators and champions of continuous improvement across the entire supply chain.
