Food & Beverage
Rapid growth, greater use of automation and continued pressure to reduce costs in the food manufacturing industry has led to increased adoption of ERP Manufacturing Solutions that were previously seen as the preserve of engineers.
In such a fast moving industry where perishable raw materials are used to manufacture shelf life dependent stock, and where traceability, transparency and customer service are paramount, it is natural that EFACS should prove so popular.
With successful implementations for; bakers, cheese, pickle, condiments and chocolate manufacturers and many more. Exel already has a strong track record in providing fully integrated software to the food industry.
EFACS E/8's flexible manufacturing modules are able to incorporate full batch control, recipe management, destructive testing and planned clean down times between process runs. Preparation of raw materials for the food industry often involves disassembly rather than assembly, a culinary logic that many IT systems lack the flexibility to handle.
Easy customisation of EFACS E/8 means that familiar user friendly terminology can be used; works orders can become cooks plans, bills of materials ingredients lists and routings recipes, small touches take make change management from manual to computerised systems easier to roll-out.
EFACS E/8's functions for Document Management and Batch Traceability ensure that maintaining weights and measures records, and quality assurance documentation could not be simpler. Procedures and documentation can be built into routing and methods to facilitate Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) methodologies. There is even the option to use EFACS' add-on Workflow module to enforce sign-offs and procedure compliance.
