Formulas and Recipes

NGRERP's process manufacturing software functionality supports complete formula and recipe management. Multi-level formulas can include ingredients, intermediates, and other formulas. Through the engineering change processes in NGRERP, formulas can go through version revisions. NGRERP's where-used functionality provides complete visibility to specific ingredients, intermediates, and formulas which are used in the production of multiple products. Through the integration of formulas and associated processing instructions and notes, process manufacturers can create recipes which are used during batch process production. 

Formula and Recipe Highlights

• Supports infinite-level formulas with yielding at the top level or ingredient level and rank-ordered ingredient substitutes
• Products can have global formulas or unique facility-specific formulas
• Supports scalable batches
• Supports recipes through the integration of formulas and associated processing instructions and notes for use during batch process production
• System maintained version and revision control with a fully-integrated engineering change order process
• Formulas support nested formulas and intermediates and can have infinite notes and instructions
• Supports online review of formulas via single-level and multi-level explosion
• Multi-level where-used functionality enables rapid access and mass change to all finished goods using specific ingredients, intermediates, and nested formulas
• Formulas and recipes are easily duplicated and updated for the same product or a new product
• Formulas are pulled into work orders or batches for tracking and recording of actual ingredients consumed or backflushed at defined standards
• Supports co-products and by-products
• Supports lot control tracking, shelf life management, product grading, and hazardous materials tracking and reporting
