Thank you everyone - appreciate the insights.
I would just like to ask a follow up question in case anyone has anything further they can share:
Company X is a consulting company which has a number of food safety systems consultants. Company Y has contracted Company X to develop (document writing and assistance with implementation) a SQF system for them.
Is it normal (what usually happens) for:
(1) The consultants within Company X to form their own HACCP or Food Safety Team when developing a food safety management system for Company Y
OR
(2) Is the norm for 1 assigned consultant from Company X to develop (write and provide implementation support) the SQF system for Company Y, while using the other consultants (their colleagues) in Company X as a reference resource only if required ?
I am of the opinion that it should be #2 but some of my co-workers do not agree so I am curious as to what is the best practice by other food safety consultants.
Thanks for any further feedback.
