Why was NSQA Developed? It has been recognised for some time that the market place is becoming more demanding of good performance and adherence to product specifications. These demands extend not only to product quality but also to food safety and environmental issues plus animal welfare and workplace safety. Over the past fifteen years there has been a steady move throughout the livestock and meat industries to embrace the principles of Quality Assurance as a means of addressing the demands of the market place. Quality Assurance in turn is simply a management system that provides a means of organising and managing all of those things that are a necessary part of operating a successful business. The Saleyards Selling Industry recognised the merit of using Quality Assurance to underpin the National Standard for the Construction and Operation of Australian Saleyards and the NSQA Program was thus developed specifically for Saleyards. By adopting Quality Assurance and developing the NSQA Program the Saleyards Selling Industry has completed the continuum of Quality Assurance Programs under which livestock can now be managed throughout all sectors of the Industry. | |||||||
