FAQs About Critical Control Points (CCP)s
A Critical Control Point is a specific step in the manufacturing process where control is essential to prevent or eliminate a hazard to product safety or quality.
When a CCP is not met, manufacturers must initiate immediate corrective action. If left unaddressed, it can lead to product recalls, safety issues or regulatory violations.
Poka enables real-time detection of deviations, automated alerts, structured escalation workflows and complete traceability to ensure that missed CCPs are managed effectively.
