Step-by-Step Workflow
How to Create a HACCP Plan Step by Step
Use a practical sequence to build a usable plan, avoid theory-only documents, and keep evidence ready for inspection.
Build sequence that works
Map real process first
Define products, flow steps, and where hazards actually occur.
Set measurable limits
Use clear limits for time, temperature, and process conditions.
Design usable records
Create forms teams can fill during shift, not after the fact.
Step-by-step outputs
Process flow and hazard table
CCP list with critical limits
Monitoring and corrective action logs
Verification schedule and review cadence
If your team cannot monitor it during service, simplify the control design.
