Recipe management
The GQM MES recipe management module provides detailed information on raw material data, allergens and nutritional values. This is supplemented by manufacturing instructions, raw material prices, additional costs and supplier information.
Ingredient lists, allergen and nutritional labelling, calculation, development and production recipes
Today, recipes are more than just lists of ingredients for a semi-finished or finished product. They provide information on raw material data, allergens and nutritional values. They are supplemented by manufacturing instructions, raw material prices, additional costs and supplier information. Data must be consistently allocated between sample and specimen production and approved recipe versions for production. Business functional areas have different requirements and information needs for a recipe. They require different analyses with tables, graphics and texts. Characteristics agreed with your customers and the declarations according to LMIV are comprehensively displayed in specifications. GQM MES® Recipe and Specification Management provides production, product development, controlling and marketing, sales and customers with the clear information they need, thus creating a comprehensive tool for practical use.
