The Challenge
Today’s global food industry is a highly competitive marketplace. There are enormous pressures to reduce costs and to improve margins in order to survive. As a result, food safety professionals are struggling to maintain adequate control of their firm’s activities. With existing legislation and their brand name’s reputation at stake, food and beverage companies strive to meet regulatory and moral obligations.
Food and beverage processing encompasses all steps of production from the grower to the consumer. Each step involves substantially different types of processes, which require monitoring for safety, conformance to specifications and profit optimization.
Mandates by the FDA such as HACCP procedures and ISO 22000-based food safety management systems are the basis for many compliance and quality programs in the food and beverage industry. Companies are realizing that improperly trained employees, substandard products or inadequate service are expensive and can lead to more severe consequences.
With the above in mind, SoftExpert Software allows organizations to demonstrate compliance, reduce risk, optimize financial performance, and present opportunities to continually improve the organization.
Implementing statistical process control and manufacturing analysis enables food companies to move from inspection-based models to a process-control model. This helps ensure consistency in producing safe, higher-quality products which meet regulatory requirements. While at the same time, maximizing efficiency and profitability.
By unifying compliance and quality data into one central repository, food and beverage companies can leverage robust reporting, dashboard, and alert capabilities to easily identify trends, overdue actions and other performance metrics, while also maintaining detailed scorecards against key performance indicators (KPIs).
The management of food security when applied to a productive chain, guarantees the safety and efficiency of the process by analyzing the dangers and critical points of production. So products can be securely managed from the raw material until the food arrives at the consumer.
