SYSPRO offers comprehensive support for key Food Safety Bill provisions
Posted on 28. Aug, 2009 by admin in News-Supply Chain
SYSPRO, a leading, worldwide provider of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, announced today that the company welcomes the proposed US Food Safety Bill, noting that functionality within SYSPRO ERP is fully supportive of the bill’s key provisions. The bill, recently passed by the House of Representatives with the support of the food industry and a wide range of consumer groups, would give the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), among other regulatory responsibilities, the authority to order recalls if a company fails to act on its own and would increase the frequency of inspections of high-risk food processing facilities
SYSPRO ERP software offers extensive traceability capabilities as well as other functionalities that facilitate the ability of manufacturers to trace products from origin, through the manufacturing process, to their ultimate destination, fully maintaining assurance certification and tracking expiration dates.
SYSPRO optionally allows specific traceable components to be reserved for specific work-orders, as well as providing the flexibility of specifying the parent traceable numbers at the beginning, during or the end of the manufacturing process.
SYSPRO lot traceability and serial tracking functionality afford extensive visibility up or down the chain, as well as providing specific component to parent tracking, thereby providing the means to expedite recalls, should the need arise.
According to SYSPRO USA President Joey Benadretti, “Safety remains a serious concern, and SYSPRO will continue efforts to enable its software to assist customers by providing users greater visibility and control over quality and tracking in industries such as food, medical devices and pharmaceuticals, where quality and regulatory conformance are particularly crucial.”
SYSPRO’s more thoughtful approach to adopting new technology also reflects the desires of its buyers who are driven by business needs and not by the latest headlines, executives that are driven by a desire for smart, but aggressive market growth. This exemplifies SYSPRO’s ongoing strategy of helping to simplify the success of its customers.
