Process manufacturing compliance capabilities across BatchMaster ERP software modules ensure that federal and industry-specific regulatory mandates are met in terms of generating specific product labeling and industry-standard compliance reports.

BatchMaster ERP system delivers industry-specific functionality and keeps current with best practice processes for many process industries, including Food, Beverage, Nutraceutical, Cosmetics, Chemicals, and Life Sciences. In addition, screen security and transactional audit trails meet corporate and regulatory governance requirements for the food manufacturing industry.

Product developers can check new and revised product formula characteristics against USDA, Genesis, and user-defined product databases. Production staff can track and trace suspect materials from receiving through shipping, shipping back to receiving, and anywhere within WIP. Industry-specific labels and reports can be manually or automatically generated during production with the Batchmaster ERP software solution.

Key Features for the Process Manufacturing Industry within BatchMaster ERP:

Compliance functionality contained in each of the BatchMaster software modules allows you to efficiently establish customer and corporate standards and support changing customer demands and ever more stringent regulatory mandates. It can help you achieve and retain industry certifications, such as a GFSI advanced Food Safety Certification. Most importantly, Compliance can protect your brand and avoid unnecessary fines.

You are able to administer and execute sample inspections to meet ISO and GMP regulations. Meet international and domestic labeling and reporting requirements through integrated quality and compliance management.

One key compliance feature supported in production is mandating the execution of defined SOP instructions and QC tests before moving on to the next step in production.

Inventory Control Module within BatchMaster Software

BatchMaster ERP addresses the added complexities of the process manufacturing industry, such as the management of ingredients and raw materials from receiving into production and the management of intermediate and finished goods products from production to shipping. Inventory records are tracked and updated by many BatchMaster software processes in terms of their QC statuses, weights, volumes, and units of measure quantities, as well as plant locations and licenses.

Product developers using BatchMaster ERP manufacturing software see inventory costs when adding ingredients and materials to formulas and assemblies, respectively. Production staff can allocate the best inventory for batch jobs, adjust characteristics and move inventory from one location to another or between plants. In addition, production staff record actual batch job yields, including QC statuses per produced lot. And management has full visibility to all movements and levels based on various characteristics, including a simultaneous view of weight, volume, and quantity in various units of measure.

Key Features of BatchMaster ERP:

• Maintain expiration dates (i.e., FIFO, LIFO, and FEFO)
• Support allergen, organic, Kosher, Halal, and other process manufacturing industry-specific types
• Auto-generate lot numbers
• Assign user-defined QC statuses
• Adjust strengths/potency and other industry-specific variable properties
• Adjust/convert weights, volumes, and units of measures
• Perform periodic inventory checks
• Initiate and execute all movements, including warehouse transfers
• Monitor and record movements and adjustments

BatchMaster Software, designed specifically for process manufacturing, is a comprehensive food manufacturing ERP software solution that supports process manufacturing to help you increase efficiency and your product margins by effectively managing your production and movement processes.

You can effectively monitor the usage of and adjust the levels of ingredients, raw materials, intermediates, and finished goods, including co-products and by-products. Overall, you gain better control over purchasing and production processes and the timely, accurate fulfillment of customer orders with BatchMaster ERP.

Master Requirements Planning (MRP) Module

BatchMaster ERP Material Requirements Planning optimizes the procurement of raw materials. Once a production plan is firmed up, MRP can be used to create purchase orders based on demand from Firm planned MPS orders, open production batches, sales orders, and forecasts. 

MRP reports give planners a consolidated view of demand, sources of supplies, and MRP-generated orders. Confirmed purchase requirements within BatchMaster ERP will generate the required purchase orders, which initiate one’s procurement process.

Key Features of BatchMaster Enterprise Resource Planning for the Process Manufacturing Industry:

• Easily create purchase orders based on demand
• Employ the Visual Workbench to view procurement orders by item, warehouse, and vendor
• Schedule intermediate batches required to meet MPS production
• Run MRP by warehouse or by an item or a range of items across warehouses
• Extensive reporting, including expedited reports, to manage the entire procurement function

Mobile Data Collection Services within BatchMaster Software

Warehouse staff employs BatchMaster ERP Mobile to perform receiving, putaway, pick, pack, and shipping activities within and across facilities. In addition, BatchMaster ERP Mobile can be used to execute QC tests, special instructions, and inventory adjustments and movements. This browser-based process manufacturing application runs on a wide range of mobile platforms, including smartphones and tablets, as well as RF data collection devices.

Key Features of BatchMaster Software:

• Generate required labels and reports from mobile transactions
• Provide on-the-spot inquiries for various processes, including product availability
• Validate product location, license ID, quantity, as well as lot and serial numbers
• Maintain historical records of all mobile transactions for audit purposes
