The Readiness Analysis of ISO 22000:2018 Implementation at Rumah Tempe Indonesia, Bogor: Clauses 9 and 10

Abstrak

The implementation of an effective food safety management system (FSMS) is essential to ensure product safety and to meet international standards in the food industry. This study aimed to evaluate the readiness of Rumah Tempe Indonesia (RTI), Bogor, in implementing ISO 22000:2018, with particular emphasis on Clause 9 (Performance Evaluation) and Clause 10 (Improvement). A qualitative case study approach was employed based on ISO 22000:2018 requirements. Data were collected through document review, direct observation, and informal interviews with relevant personnel. The results indicated that RTI has implemented several foundational elements of an FSMS, including hazard analysis documentation and procedures for handling nonconforming products. However, the performance evaluation system has not yet been fully established, as evidenced by incomplete monitoring records, the absence of scheduled internal audits, and the lack of formal management review practices. Furthermore, although continual improvement initiatives have been initiated, documentation and verification of corrective actions remain inconsistent. Overall, RTI demonstrates partial readiness for ISO 22000:2018 certification. Strengthening documentation, formalizing performance evaluation processes, and enhancing top management involvement are recommended to improve FSMS effectiveness and support continual improvement.
