Leading Food & Beverage companies are modernizing Food Safety & Quality with solutions that allow them to evolve their approach from reactive, to preventative and ultimately a predictive approach. This presentation will review some of the enablers for such a vision. We will address unifying assurance & control to have end-to-end visibility on Quality information. Secondly, we’ll discuss the creation of a single source of truth of master data, such as material specifications, material transactions and suppliers within such a solution. Finally, we’ll illustrate how a roadmap to predictive Quality can be implemented using some examples.
- How cloud-based solutions can unify Quality Assurance and Quality Control
- How modern QMS can unify data from PLM and ERP systems
- How a Unified context for Quality data enables predictive Quality
