It is a complex and labour-intensive industry and when compared to other manufacturing sectors, has its own challenges.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><b>Manufacturing efficiency<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">Food and beverage companies require efficiency in the business and throughout the supply chain.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">Having an ERP system that is relevant for the needs of food manufacturers ensures that factors like material requirements planning, inventory management, and recipe control function properly.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">Food ERP systems provide everything a business needs to perform core food and beverage functions, including:<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u2022 Inventory and supply chain management<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u2022 Quality control and quality assurance<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u2022 Non-conformance management<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u2022 Process automation<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u2022 Recipe management and ingredient tracking<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u2022 Batch control and traceability for regulatory compliance<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u2022 Cross-functional reporting<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><b>Product safety<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">When processed foods maker Tiger Brands detected a leak in certain canned vegetable products due to a faulty side seam weld, the company was quickly able to recall 20 million cans.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0\u201cIn this industry, manufacturers of all sizes must be able to respond quickly and effectively to the recall of products deemed unsafe or unsuitable for the market, as the consequences for not doing so can have long-term deleterious effects, in legal, financial and reputational terms,\u201d says Adendorff.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u201cIn the age of social media, a company\u2019s reputation can be destroyed in an instant should it not respond appropriate to any issue associated with product safety.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">With recall functionality and built-in controls to preclude product recalls from happening in the first place, industry-relevant ERP solutions enable companies to better prepare for, prevent and minimise product recalls, limiting potential damage to the business.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><b>Meeting needs of demanding customers<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">When it comes to food and beverages, consumers today are more health-conscious than ever about what they choose to consume, and what effects their choices have on the planet.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">Their purchases are often strongly determined by nutritional value, packaging, and shelf-life.\u00a0<\/span>They want to know what is in the food they buy, which creates an increased demand for transparency in product labelling and food safety.<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u201cThis increases costs in an industry that already has tight margins,\u201d says Adendorff. \u201cTo mitigate the impact of these demands, ERP for the food and beverage sector makes it easy to track information and meet the requirements for compliance with food safety regulations, both in South Africa and abroad.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><b>Food safety management<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">Companies that export food and beverages abroad are required to meet amongst others, FDA FSMA and the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety, a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmark, which means it\u2019s accepted by many of the world\u2019s biggest retailers.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">Achieving the certification ensures that consumers have confidence in the products. BRC contains requirements for food processors to follow to build an effective food safety management system that includes full traceability.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u201cFood-relevant ERP\u2019s that can account for all processes is essential for companies that need to meet regulatory requirements \u2013 as well as those of other food safety compliance and regulatory bodies \u2013 helping manufacturers ensure full compliance and deal with non-conformance,\u201d says Adendorff.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u201cAn ERP system can schedule and manage production, assuring quality control. It can also manage non-conformance and corrective action requests for audit purposes.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">The software can be configured and installed in a way that constantly benchmarks against standards. It assists with streamlining and automating processes, saving considerable time for employees and management.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u201cHaving software to monitor, measure and analyse product quality and delivery helps to reduce waste and inefficiencies throughout the business,\u201d Adendorff adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium\">\u201cThis has a positive impact on productivity and can help to boost the bottom line, even in a tough economy.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ERP adoption has accelerated since the 1990s, and with this came the opportunity to focus on particular industries.\u00a0 \u00a0 This development recognised that to drive&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3022,"featured_media":142875,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"related_posts":[],"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[177,191,7737],"tags":[5597769,176,5596672,35,5597891,5594146,5597892],"series":[],"sapn-display":[45149,279685],"sapn-type":[45018],"class_list":["post-142873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industries","category-sme","category-solutions","tag-andre-adendorff","tag-erp","tag-food-and-beverage","tag-manufacturing","tag-product-safety","tag-seidor-africa","tag-tiger-brands","sapn-display-homepage-hero","sapn-display-hero","sapn-type-feature"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why SMB Food and Beverage Manufacturers Need Industry-Relevant ERP - 麻豆原创 Africa News Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Some business sectors are unique or complex, with regulatory compliance that requires tight control over processes and conformance.
