ERP, or enterprise resource planning, is a system that manages internal and external resources, including ingredients and materials, tangible assets like machinery, and personnel. Though ERP systems have been in use for years, few offer the same competitive advantages as does PRIMS, or Production Recipe Ingredient Management Software.
PRIMS works as a stand-alone ERP system, or can be modulated into an existing plant’s systems through a variety of add-ons or modules. From ingredient mixing to preventative maintenance, and from receiving to shipping customer-ready products, PRIMS can monitor your entire process as an ERP system.
ERP Systems Offer Quality Assurance Personnel Production Controls to Eliminate Errors
When using PRIMS as all or part of an ERP system, several competitive advantages are evident over other ERP systems. First and foremost, PRIMS does not require manual data entry on the plant floor, thereby eliminating mixing, data entry, and other types of errors. Secondly, PRIMS follows recipes free from human error ounce for ounce. As an ERP provider, PRIMS is the only production management software to completely eliminate human error from the mixing or production process.
In fact, PRIMS has been shown to save as much as 5.5% ingredient loss while increasing production yields by 5% and increasing batch cycle times by 20% because more batches are made with less ingredients.
Further, when using PRIMS, all functions of a processing facility, including inventory management and running production simulations (rather than running a production run to test), are all part and parcel to the same ERP system. PRIMS integrates flawlessly into existing ERP systems, and can certainly serve as an ERP system in and of itself.
