Traceability is a big word in the food manufacturing and food safety world. As a food and beverage manufacturer, how easily and quickly are you able to track and trace raw materials and finished products in a food recall situation? In a recent article, a survey performed with executives in the industry gave some interesting results. For example, "...almost 70 percent of executives surveyed were worried about coordinating recall issues with suppliers and distributors. Additionally, more than half of executives are concerned about their ability to isolate items within their own supply chain or execute a product recall within hours." These results are troubling for those in the food and beverage manufacturing industry, as well as consumers.
The article also goes on to recommend that companies should work towards fully automating their traceability processes in order to gain in both speed and accuracy. Finally, when asked how companies could improve their traceability processes, it was stated that, "implementing a solution that can track products on a very granular level is critical in improving traceability processes." This is something that I can agree with. More specifically, implementing a food manufacturing ERP software system would be ideal.
O2 Food ERP software by EVS provides the lot tracking and traceability features that are critical to food and beverage manufacturers. This food and beverage software has tools such as formula security and management, cradle to grave lot tracking and one click lot recall with mail merge. Compliance with food manufacturing industry regulations are extremely important to manufacturers. Don't get caught without the critical tools and data needed during a recall. Be prepared by using the food software technology to your advantage.
