Key Ingredients for Efficient Recipe and Formula Management
If real estate is about “location, location, location,” recipe and formula management is all about “consistency, consistency, consistency.”
As a food and beverage processor or distributor you know how critical it is to exercise precise control over recipes and formulas to maintain consistency, quality, and traceability.
Ensuring recipe accuracy – uniform texture, taste, smell, and color – is vital to attract and keep customers. And doing so is more complicated when manufacturers have to ensure consistency across multiple batches and/or multiple locations.
Just as important as accuracy is traceability. The ability to trace a product before, during, and after production guarantees companies can effectively manage a recall.
Efficient recipe management also means having the ability to manage variations of the same basic product resulting in similar finished goods. Having systems in place that allow companies to easily alter production to accommodate different formulations means companies can expand product offerings and their client bases.
