Food Safety
The present-day threats and potential costs associated with food safety have never been higher. As companies seek to increase their control and in turn, minimize the risks, they discover that many varied activities, both within an outside the organization, must be considered. Operations up and down the supply chain must all be addressed. SIMMS software provides a comprehensive solution that helps you monitor, track and control your critical internal and external activities. Capabilities in the areas of end-to-end traceability, specification management and change management provide the control and predictability needed to detect and address exceptions early in your process. When potential issues are identified, you can quickly determine the underlying cause and make the necessary corrections.
Right First Time
Most food and beverage manufacturers operate on relatively thin margins. With the added overhead of regulatory compliance, the need to minimize rework becomes critical. For most companies, small percentages of rework translate into significant cuts into profits. Executing right the first time is paramount to survival and growth. SIMMS software provides the advanced planning and tracking capabilities needed to ensure that errors are avoided. Yield planning and analysis capabilities allow you to establish standard benchmarks and identify out-of-tolerance conditions. When thresholds are exceeded, you receive early notifications so that problems can be corrected quickly while the impact can be minimized.
Product Line Profitability
Can you accurately identify your most profitable product lines? This is often critical for companies seeking to focus on their most valuable products and consider dropping their unprofitable products. To do so requires visibility into all material and production costs, including indirect costs or value resulting from co-products and by-products. Visibility is also needed into actual profits that account for promotional deductions such as rebates, discounts and adjustments to orders and payment terms.
SIMMS Software provides the end-to-end visibility needed across purchasing, inventory management, manufacturing and sales to support your comprehensive cost and profit analysis. Support for actual costing exposes all material and operational costs. With Co-Product and By-Product tracking, you can account for all down-stream costs and link benefits back to primary products. You can also link all costs from trade promotions and channel incentives back to finished goods to accurately determine the actual profit on each product sold.
