Use ERP Software for Both Standard and Specialized Orders

As a manufacturer in the food processing industry, you understand the importance of gaining a clearer understanding of the series of parallel processes in the product cycle.

 

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is the perfect way to handle any order.

Tracking Raw Materials

The ability to track raw materials in different factories becomes critically impaired if you use improper or antiquated methods throughout the process cycle. If a sales team issues an order to location ‘A’ for a specified number of lots using a modified formula, the movement of product can be impacted when data is not transparent to all stakeholders. What can happen in this scenario is a work stoppage because the order placed for raw materials will be delayed.

Filling Special Requests

Furthermore, in trying to fill the customer’s specialized request, compliance issues were overlooked in handling the raw materials. This sets up problems with traceability and can hinder the fixing of future recalls. Another issue for companies not using today’s technology, like the Sage ERP platform, is having an incomplete archive of ingredient histories.

Monitoring Processes

The technology in today's enterprise resource planning (ERP) modules seamlessly handles production schedules and ingredient changes, allowing you to monitor processes for both standard and special orders. It also allows you to spot issues with raw materials/ingredients well before there is a serious problem. The platform performs needed calculations for the batch yield number as well.

Updating in Real-time

Real-time updates are key when handling raw materials of different types, particularly when they’re from different locations. The software acts as a single database management system to allow stakeholders to monitor all works-in-progress throughout the supply chain.
