TGI Food & Beverage Manufacturing Systems Addresses Ingredient Tracking to Lot Number and Property Tracking
Enterprise 21 is the food and beverage technology solution from
Technology Group International (TGI). Unlike generic ERP
(Enterprise Resource Planning) solutions, Enterprise 21 is
clearly differentiated with requirements serving the food and
beverage sector. According to TGI Vice-President Rebecca Gill,
"Food and Beverage manufacturers require special technology
functionality from Ingredient Tracking with Substitute to Lot
Number and Property Tracking." Overview of Enterprise 21
Manufacturing System Features: * An online product configurator
allows for quick and easy quoting that is completely integrated
with the manufacturing plant floor. Rules-based configurations
allows for multiple levels of product specific attributes which
are utilized within pricing sheets, throughout inventory
control, and manufacturing. * Allows for definition of both
multilevel formulations and bills of material (BOM.) *
Where-used functionality enables rapid access to all finished
goods utilizing a specific component material. * Formulations
and BOMs are easily duplicated and updated. Multiple versions of
the original formulation/bill are numerically controlled. *
Automatic "yield" calculation for raw material utilization based
upon BOM and routing yields. Actual usage variations from
standard amounts are easily recorded. Substitutions are easily
recorded as well. * Cost variances from standard amounts are
tracked and reported. * Inquiry screens enable tracking of
production runs through the production recording process. *
Machine downtime can be recorded by multiple reason code. *
Employee exposure to hazardous chemicals is automatically
tracked. * Lots are tracked from the raw material stage through
shipment of finished goods. * Inquiry screens provide the
ability to trace shipped product back to specific finished good
product lot numbers, and further back to the specific raw
material numbers used to manufacture each finished product.
Additionally, Enterprise 21 offers the ability to "mass
replace." Food manufacturers can query on all BOM's which have a
certain ingredient and mass replace that ingredient for quick
updates. About Technology Group International, Ltd. Founded in
1990 and headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, Technology Group
International is a proven technology leader delivering Tier 1
application software functionality at a price performance level
that can be readily accepted by organizations of all sizes.
