Food manufacturers are facing growing pressure to protect their margins, respond to supply chain volatility, and meet increasingly stringent quality and compliance expectations. ERP systems are expected to support these demands, but for many process and formula manufacturers, day-to-day production realities expose important gaps.
Many ERP platforms struggle to support food manufacturing requirements out of the box. As a result, critical information is pushed into spreadsheets or manual processes, reducing visibility and increasing risk.
Drawing on decades of hands-on experience supporting food process manufacturers, this webinar examines where ERP systems commonly fall short and how manufacturers address those gaps to remain competitive without overcomplicating their technology environments.
We’ll explore challenges such as:
- Variable yields and ingredient substitutions
- Formula and recipe changes that affect quality and cost
- Quality holds, rework, and lot-based documentation
- Traceability and audit requirements managed outside the ERP
