Practical resources built for food manufacturing engineering

The AFME Resource Library brings together practical templates, tools and working documents designed to support engineers across food and drink manufacturing. Here you will find resources covering maintenance and reliability, engineering audits, asset management, CAPEX and projects, health and safety, food safety and compliance, utilities and energy, automation and controls, engineering management, and people development.

Resources are intended to be practical — documents that can be downloaded, adapted and used in real engineering environments.

MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS

Share a resource with the AFME community

AFME members are encouraged to contribute. If you have developed a template, checklist, audit, calculation tool, spreadsheet, procedure or other engineering resource that you believe other members would benefit from, you can submit it for inclusion in the Resource Library.

Tell us what it is, how you use it and where it may be useful. Once reviewed and accepted by the AFME team, it can be published in the library and credited as Submitted by [member name] where you are happy to be identified.

Please only submit material that you have the right to share. Resources containing proprietary company information, copyrighted templates or other third-party intellectual property will not be accepted unless explicit permission has been granted by the relevant company, author or rights holder.

Checklist

AFME-PED01-FRM-001 Project Control Checklist for Food Manufacturing

A complete control checklist for engineering projects on food manufacturing sites, from approval and design through daily contractor control to hygiene clearance, production release, handover and close-out. It adds the food-specific controls general project forms miss: HACCP and change control, hygienic design, foreign-body and allergen controls during the works, CCP revalidation, and signed hygiene clearance before production restarts.

Guide

AFME-PUW-GDE-001 Engineer’s Guide to PUWER in Food Manufacturing

A plain-English guide to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) for engineers in food manufacturing. Based on HSE L22, it explains what counts as work equipment, who has duties, every regulation in food-factory terms, guarding, isolation, inspection and training, and where PUWER and food safety meet, with real factory examples and a practical machine assessment checklist.
