Food production

From goods-in to the box. One system.

Goods-in, production, batch, best-before date and checks in the system that runs your production.

IRPAt goods-in and when a production run is closed, you get the questions that step needs. The answers stay with the batch.

Which situation do you recognise?

See in five images how it can be different.

Which products contain that batch of couverture?
A supplier reports a problem with one batch. You piece the answer together from paper and files, while your customer waits.

Where is the incoming inspection for that delivery?
Checks are on paper and in folders. What is missing, you only see when the auditor asks for it.
View the story ›
Who calculates the best-before date on the box?
What you agree with a customer about shelf life has to come off the line without errors. Today, someone works out that date by hand.

Which version of the batch list is correct?
A separate spreadsheet per supplier, per batch and per check. Only your quality manager knows which version is correct.
