Alba is a privately owned family company with manufacturing businesses in Western Australia and
Victoria, who supply oil to national and international markets. Alba has a strong commitment to quality

As a Quality Assurance Manager for this company, I was given the task of creating a comprehensive
Quality Assurance Framework from scratch. Although the organisation worked to the food industry
Australian Standards, HACCP previous quality audits had highlighted serious issues within non-
compliance. Using the past audit templates as a base to work from, and in collaboration with the
leadership team, I began a process of assessing the organisation’s current systems, prior to developing
and designing rectifications and new systems and procedures. Utilising a Paradigm risk-based
compliance software enabled me to control the changes required across the business including
production line, within administration, food testing, warehouse, purchasing and transport. I was able
to draw upon my previous experience with the food industry to ensure that all legislation, guidelines
and compliance procedures were put in place. I have now put in place the majority of the quality
framework and the next phase is project implementation in a stepped roll out.
