Food & Beverage Manufacturing
Turn Operational Challenges into Opportunities for Excellence
Food and beverage manufacturing presents a unique set of challenges:
- Shifting production demands, rising input costs, and changing consumer preferences
- Strict FDA and USDA oversight and costly non-compliance risks
- Automated systems that drive efficiency, but that are difficult to troubleshoot
- High workforce turnover and skilled technicians retiring
Having a partner that understands your specific challenges is where the right training begins.
Keep Production Lines Running and Facilities Compliant
In food and beverage manufacturing, technicians need to keep equipment operating at peak performance while maintaining strict sanitation and safety requirements. In this environment, skill gaps not only increase downtime and lower throughput, but they can also threaten product quality, regulatory standing, and consumer trust.
With unplanned downtime costing food manufacturers up to $125,000 per hour, and 70% of physical contamination recalls attributed to poor maintenance practices and foreign objects, the solution is clear. Investing in training for your maintenance team is critical to maximizing uptime and ensuring compliance. And it can quickly deliver a positive ROI.
That's why you need a partner like TPC. We understand your industry, the challenges you're facing, and how to deliver the right training to close skill gaps. That means real results driven by a workforce trained to keep production lines running.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of food and beverage manufacturing facilities does TPC serve?
TPC works across the food and beverage supply chain, including food manufacturing, beverage manufacturing, meat and poultry processing, dairy processing, distribution, and cold storage. Training content is adaptable to facilities with varying levels of automation, from legacy equipment to fully automated production lines.
How does TPC address FDA, USDA, and GFSI compliance requirements?
TPC's compliance training is aligned to current FDA, USDA, and GFSI standards. Leveraging the extensive Certus course library, TPC provides training on HACCP fundamentals, allergen control, CGMP, sanitation, LOTO in wet food production environments, OSHA workplace safety, and more. Fusion LMS tracks course completions and stores documentation so you're audit-ready at all times.
What is HACCP training, and why does it matter?
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) plans help prevent chemical, biological, and physical contamination in food production environments, and HACCP training is a foundational requirement for GFSI certification. TPC's fully online HACCP courses are accredited by the International HACCP Alliance and developed in partnership with StateFoodSafety, preparing food safety professionals for the HACCP certification exam.
Can training be delivered across multiple facilities?
Yes. TPC's Fusion LMS is designed to help you standardize training across your organization. The platform is built for multi-site deployment, with role-based learning paths, facility-level reporting, and the ability to assign training by site, shift, or job function. It integrates with your existing HRIS and supports single sign-on (SSO).
What training courses does TPC offer?
TPC offers a broad range of training courses for technical and maintenance skill development. Key training areas cover foundational and advanced skills related to mechanical systems, electrical systems, HVAC systems, PLCs and instrumentation, and more. For a complete list of training courses, request a course catalog.
What delivery formats are available?
TPC offers on-demand eLearning, instructor-led training (on-site or virtual), troubleshooting simulations, and private group training. Most organizations use a blended approach — eLearning for foundational and compliance content and instructor-led and simulation-based training for complex technical skills.
How do I find out which TPC courses are best for our training needs?
TPC offers a free self-guided needs assessment to help you determine which skill development courses best fit your needs. Additionally, TPC offers a comprehensive on-site training needs assessment that maps your team's current knowledge and skills against role requirements. This consultative process identifies gaps and informs a customized learning plan aligned to your goals.
Does TPC offer custom training for our specific processes and equipment?
Yes. TPC offers custom instructor-led private group training that can be tailored to your specific teams, processes, equipment, and operations. That way, your team can train together on the equipment they actually use every day.
What is TPC Fusion, and how does it work?
Fusion LMS is TPC's web-based training administration platform. It allows managers to:
- Assign training by role, site, or shift.
- Track completions in real time.
- Build custom learning paths.
- Generate audit-ready reports and certificates.
Employees can access their assigned courses on demand from any internet-enabled device. Fusion integrates with existing HRIS systems, supports SSO, and can incorporate facility-specific training materials alongside TPC's course library.
Do we have to use TPC Fusion to access training courses?
No. TPC's online training courses and simulations can be delivered through your existing SCORM-compliant LMS. However, TPC Fusion offers a powerful suite of reporting features, course customization options, and a test building system that will provide deeper insights on course progress and performance.
