Automated production management, ingredient and inventory control are firmly linked with the ability of a company to improve efficiency and margins. It can be used to reinforce, on an ongoing basis, what senior management and the company are seeking to achieve. Good plant automation software in the form of automated production-recipe management has the potential to re-orient the whole organization around performance improvement. It is important for managers to avoid the 'downside' mentality. Companies are now seeing opportunities arising from focusing on automated production and control, rather than purely focusing on control.

It is particularly useful to focus on the introduction of an ongoing process which builds on the existing system and helps the reinforcement of the objectives the company has outlined for lot tracking compliance. This is easily obtainable with the modular approach of the PRIMS Lot Traceability software. Your company should treat Title III of the Bioterrorism Act as the opportunity to improve not only your production recipe management, but also the business as a whole.
Without clearly establishing what the steps and objectives are, it is difficult, if not impossible, to determine when (and even if) the goals have been met when implementing a plant automation software for lot tracking. 'Increasing efficiency by 10%' is valid, but it is a high-level goal. A goal such as this should be broken down into a more focused and achievable goal, against which it is easy to determine and to gauge when they have been met. For example, a specific objective might be to reduce operator errors in pre-scaling by 90% by way of using a computerized scale system. These objectives are easy to meet with efficient and affordable solutions from Focus Works.
Keep your plant compliant with Title III of the Bioterrorism Act, by keeping track of your ingredients with PRIMS from Focus Works, meeting all FDA Lot Traceability requirements and lot tracking compliance.
