Written by prominent journalists manufacturing, Thomas R. Cutler, the impact of regulatory compliance is profiled in the recent feature. According to Cutler, "At the end of 2006, all food manufacturers must achieve compliance with the Bioterrorism Act, including companies with fewer than 10 employees."
The key is that the documentation of lot traceability is not an option that is now the law. According to Rebecca Gill, vice president of Technology Group International, the leading food ERP based in Toledo, OH, there are core functions of the traceability of lots that are essential but are lacking in most publishers' ERP claiming jurisdiction of market segmentation. Gill includes the following functions as critical:
full traceability of batches of raw materials to manufacture
Full traceability of batches finished well by sending the client
Full reporting on lot genealogy, showing all usage of lots from vendor, through manufacturing jobs, and end user
Lots opportunity to examine the end-user sales to see all the raw materials and finished product used for specific shipping
Ability to many application vendor or manufacturing and see all the end users to whom much is delivered
Ability to track lot properties eligible "criteria" for each batch
There are other important features that audits of manufacturing food aid and quality assurance, but are not a direct response to the Bioterrorism Act. Some of them are:
Automatic quality assurance of incoming products
Tracking country of origin of raw materials
Data Warehouse comprehensive 24 7 ad hoc reporting
