Quality at NuTec SA

Quality systems are integral in businesses which aim to be fore-runner’s in industry. These management systems are needed in all areas of activity, whether large or small, manufacturing, service or public sectors. The advantages of systems in manufacturing are obvious, no matter where it is implemented, a good management system will improve process control, reduce wastage, lower costs, increase market share or funding, facilitate training, involve staff and raise morale. NuTec, as a fore-runner in its industry, has ISO 9001:2000, ISO 22000:2005, GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) and 20 KEYS in place which keeps them well ahead of the “pack”. These systems keep NuTec compliant not only within the boundaries of South Africa, but compliance to EU standards ensure an even higher quality status than just local laws. This is extremely critical as many of NuTec’s products cross South African borders into other African nations.

Locally, NuTec suppliers are routinely audited by the Quality Assurance Officer, Production Executive, Chief Operating Officer and Procurement to ensure compliance to the systems in place. The hygienic storage of materials, handling, drying and heating processes, traceability and document control are closely monitored. NuTec itself will undergo both internal and external audits to ensure continuous improvement and compliance to all standards in place. Internal audits are performed by the Quality Assurance Officer while the external audits are done by an independent, accredited auditing firm e.g. SABS.

An appropriate quality management system, like the one at NuTec, will enable the objectives set out in the quality policy to be accomplished and to ensure that the specified customer requirements are met. The NuTec systems apply to and interact with all processes within the organisation. It begins with the identification of the customer requirements and ends with their satisfaction at every interface. This has ensured that NuTec has and always will be a leader and innovator in the animal premix industry due to their unwavering commitment to customers at every level.
