Food Industry

---

    Food processors have become highly focused enterprises that are holding the line on price while reducing costs, driving customer value, and protecting their brands. They face many challenges in their efforts to streamline their supply chains, maintain consistent quality and enhance their profitability. Additional challenges are the tracking and tracing of products and the need to comply with the Bio-terrorism Act of 2002. As Food Processors have pushed as far as they can with higher speed manufacturing equipment they find that the next area to improve their profitability and productivity is with information systems. Systems that provide product line profitability, lot tracking, and improved planning and quality information are being used to deal with these issues.
