O2 Food ERP Software Can Aid In Lot Traceability & Recall Efforts
According to a recent food manufacturing news article, trace back efforts are central to a new U.S.D.A. food safety initiative. The article states that, "the policy changes will allow U.S.D.A. to improve trace back efforts by 24 to 48 hours." This improvement is being done to aid the organization in it's ability to trace contaminated products during a food borne illness outbreak.
Consumers will clearly approve of this new food safety initiative. As food manufacturers, you also have steps you can take internally to help keep your products safe and to improve trace back efforts. O2 Food ERP software has the tools needed for food and beverage manufacturing that will allow you to fully track lots throughout the entire manufacturing process.
Having a food manufacturing software implemented will only give manufacturers more ways to trace the source of the problem. This will also help organizations such as the U.S.D.A. identify potentially contaminated products sooner and hopefully, get those products out of the hands of consumers earlier.
Recalls are also aided by having the proper food and beverage ERP software implemented. As anyone in food and beverage manufacturing knows, food recalls can be a stressful and costly operation without the right information and tools on hand. O2 Food ERP software can manage lot recalls with ease due to it's "cradle-to-grave" lot tracking feature.

Food Manufacturing Safety Can Be Managed Using Many Tools, Including Food ERP Software
When it comes to the food and beverage manufacturing industry, food safety can be a focus in a number of different areas of the business. For example, food safety can mean how the food itself is handled and stored all the way from the time an ingredient is grown/produced up until it hit's the consumer. However, food safety also means how the food is processed in the facility and the types of materials that are used during the process. Along the entire process, our food likely comes into direct contact with multiple containers and machines that can ultimately affect food safety.
So, what are food and beverage manufacturers to do? Obviously there are numerous precautions that food manufacturers can, and should take. In a recent article by Food Manufacturing called "Under the Regulatory Microscope," the author discussed the complex equipment and processes needed to manage food safety concerns in the industry. Food and beverage manufacturing software is another tool that will help manufacturers manage food safety issues.
O2 Food ERP software has those tools available. This food manufacturing ERP software can manage concerns such as HACCP and lot recalls. In fact, the food software goes even further and manages formula security and cradle-to-grave lot tracking. Having the right tools available will not only help you keep your operations safe, but in the event that something needs to be recalled you will be ready and able to act immediately.

A Closer Look at Food ERP Software Success
When evaluating ERP software, it's important for the company to find the right solution. This means finding a software system that is made to operate the way your business needs. Take for example, the food and beverage manufacturing industry. In this industry, a company would be much better served by implementing a food and beverage manufacturing ERP software system, rather than a system made for a discrete manufacturing business. Unfortunately, many companies don't realize that there truly is a difference until it's too late.
