The DoD Cybersecurity Compliance Countdown: Who’s at Risk?

In this crucial 1-hour webinar session, the Iviry team will urgently address the complexity of government security standards, specifically the NIST 800-171 requirements, established for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). With the CMMC ruling expected later this year, the time to act is now!

BASICS OF HACCP

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) training is required by USDA-FSIS for its inspected facilities and many food manufacturers and wholesalers require their suppliers and vendors to have a working and audited HACCP plan.

HACCP is also required for most advanced third-party auditing schemes, including SQF.

PREVENTIVE CONTROLS FOR QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL

One of the most significant new FDA rules is the Preventive Controls for Human Food rule. This rule states that every human food manufacturer, except for the very smallest who will have modified requirements, must have somebody on staff who has completed a Preventive Controls for Human Food class.

How to Lead a Successful Lean Business Transformation! 

You and your team may be trying to keep up with ever-changing customer expectations, workforce issues and business conditions. You are doing your best to solve problems, improve performance and be innovative. You are practicing Lean thinking in everything you do across all aspects of the business.

However, you may feel that you are just keeping up, struggling, or falling behind, as you fight fires and focus on day-to-day needs.

I hear far too many horror stories of failed ERP system implementations. Recently, a major supplier has been short-shipping raw materials because of an ERP implementation gone wrong. This is affecting thousands of their customers nationwide, which in turn affects downstream customers. Don’t let this happen to you. There is a better way through agile development.

Office of Legal Immigration

The 2023 Legislature passed, and Gov. Doug Burgum signed, legislation creating the Office of Legal Immigration (OLI) within Commerce to help businesses recruit and retain foreign labor and address the state’s workforce challenges. The bill required Commerce to conduct a study – with input from employers – on barriers and opportunities related to employing foreign-born workers. 

Supply Chain Optimization and Intelligence Network

Impact Dakota has expanded and launched the Supply Chain Optimization and Intelligence Network (SCOIN). This exciting new program is designed to build robust supply chain opportunities for North Dakota manufacturers by understanding the strengths of our North Dakota manufacturers and connecting them with other manufacturers across the state and nation as possible new customers, or suppliers that they may be looking for. SCOIN is offered at no cost to you. 

Impact Dakota is partnering with NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NIST MEP) and our nationwide network of 50 other MEP Centers across the U.S. and Puerto Rico to help solve supply chain gaps encountered by manufacturers, government entities, and critical service providers.
