During my 5 months at SDO, I implemented a new internal audit and supplier approval system and also I updated all documents in the QMS in line with a business transition and company name change. Although this was a very short time at SDO, I feel like my time was well spent and I enjoyed my time and learnt a lot about an industry I wasn't very familiar with (fat and oils).During this time, I took part in the BRC, Kosher & RSPO audits.
