The Traditional Presentation Standard Monitoring Decision Tree starts with normal random sampling. This has to four possibilities:
1. The Non-conformance total is lesser than or equal to 24 AND the occurrence of the same error (for fowl hearts only, three or more occurrences of "Parts Inside" will not be considered an error) is less than 3, which leads to Continue random sampling.
2. The Non-conformance total is greater than 24 and less than 40 OR the occurrence of the same error (for fowl hearts only, three or more occurrences of "Parts Inside" will not be considered an error) is greater than or equal to 3, which can lead to Corrective action and retest within 10 minutes. (see below after 4.)
3. The Non-conformance total is greater than or equal to 40, which leads to a Line speed reduction of 10 per cent, then to Corrective action and retest within 10 minutes. (see below after 4.)
4. The Maximum line speed is exceeded, which leads to Decrease line speed to the maximum allowed and one error for each carcass exceeding the allowed maximum speed.
Corrective action and retest within 10 minutes has two possibilities:
1. The Non-conformance total is less than or equal to 24 AND the occurrence of the same error (for fowl hearts only, three or more occurrences of "Parts Inside" will not be considered an error) is less than 3, which can lead to:
a) If the line speed was not previously reduced, return to random sampling
b) If the line speed was previously reduced, raise the line speed by allowed increments to the maximum speed permitted. Retest within 10 minutes of all line speed increases, which leads to When the approved maximum line speed has been attained AND a satisfactory retest has been performed, return to normal sampling.
2. The Non-conformance total is greater than or equal to 24 OR the occurrence of the same error (for fowl hearts only, three or more occurrences of "Parts Inside" will not be considered an error) is greater than or equal to 3, which leads to a line speed reduction of 10%, then corrective action and retest within 10 minutes. There are now two possibilities:
a) If the Non-conformance total is less than or equal to 24 AND the occurrence of the same error (for fowl hearts only, three or more occurrences of "Parts Inside" will not be considered an error) is less than 3, which leads to If the line speed was previously reduced, raise the line speed by allowed increments to the maximum speed permitted. Retest within 10 minutes of all line speed increases, which leads to When the approved maximum line speed has been attained AND a satisfactory retest has been performed, return to normal sampling.
b) If the Non-conformance total is greater than 24 OR the occurrence of the same error (for fowl hearts only, three or more occurrences of "Parts Inside" will not be considered an error) is greater than or equal to 3, there is a line speed (Line speed can only be reduced by 10% three times, after which the Veterinarian in Charge shall decide which corrective measures are to be taken.) reduction of 10%, which leads back to corrective action and retest within 10 minutes.
The Meat Inspection Regulations have precedence over this decision tree.
