Cook Chill Processes

Cook Chill Processes

Purpose

This page manages cook-chill process records so teams can track each stage, verify controls, and keep complete production history.

Prerequisites

  • Product/process templates should be configured.
  • Staff must have permission to create and update process entries.
  • Required time/temperature standards should be defined.

Main Actions

  • Create and run cook-chill process records.
  • Update stage progress (cook, cool, hold, complete).
  • Record required checkpoints and notes.
  • Review active and historical process outcomes.

Field/Status Reference

  • Process Status: Current stage or lifecycle state.
  • Started At / Completed At: Key timestamps for traceability.
  • Batch/Product: What item the process applies to.
  • Temperature/Time Points: Recorded control values.
  • Owner/Operator: Responsible user for the process step.

Workflow

  1. Start a new process for the relevant product/batch.
  2. Progress through each required stage in order.
  3. Record checkpoints at required intervals.
  4. Add notes for deviations or interventions.
  5. Complete and close once standards are met.

Connections

  • Spot verification can be captured in Spot Checks.
  • Open and pending activity is summarized in Cook Chill Hub.
  • Process records can support incident, audit, and quality reviews.

Common Mistakes

  • Skipping required stage updates.
  • Recording checkpoints late instead of in real time.
  • Closing a process before all required controls are documented.

Troubleshooting

  • If stages cannot advance, verify required fields/checkpoints are completed.
  • If records appear missing, check active filters and date range.
  • If values look invalid, confirm unit expectations and operator input.

Quick Tips

  • Enter readings as you go, not at end of shift.
  • Keep notes short and factual for deviations.
  • Review open processes before shift handover.
