Let\u2019s imagine for a second that you are required to issue a recall against a product you have manufactured or you\u2019re being audited for particular industry certification such as GMP or ISO \u2013 Are you confident you have the systems in place to be able to robustly carry out the tasks required?<\/h1>\nIt may not be immediately obvious what parts are missing in your quest to QA\/Traceability success, so let\u2019s break things down into the basics:<\/p>\n
So what does traceability mean for a Nutraceutical Company?\u00a0 Simply put, it means that you should be able to provide:<\/p>\n
At it\u2019s very core, QA (Quality Assurance) is the idea behind putting in place a way of preventing mistakes and defects during your productions.\u00a0 It usually is seen as part of an overall desire by the company to improve their offering and is also generally one of the areas audited when attempting to gain approval for standards such as the ISO 9000 framework.
\nIn many cases, real world examples of QA involve setting master production records (a journal outlining the specifics of a production), training manuals and staff training on machines, quality checking at all points throughout productions and a general awareness within the business of the requirement to keep the standard of the outgoing products to a very highest achievable and how to go about it.<\/p>\n
Many of your clients will look to your QA systems and traceability when they are deciding where to place their next business. If you don\u2019t currently have systems in place which meet the above requirements, then you could already be putting yourself at a disadvantage to your competitors!\u00a0 It’s a common issue that GMP and\/or ISO certification is seen as a basic requirement by nutraceutical buyers and without complete QA\/Traceability systems in-place those standards would be out of reach for many Nutraceutical manufacturers.<\/p>\n
If you are lucky enough to be able to say that you DO currently have robust systems in place and are happy they meet the requirement – the next question to ask is \u2013 do they communicate with each other?\u00a0 Do they communicate with other possible systems you may be running such as your CRM, your ERP?<\/p>\n
In the event of let\u2019s say \u2013 a recall \u2013 could you automatically generate a list of affected customers within your CRM from the data from your recall report?
\nIn the event of a QA issue \u2013 could you automatically inform all interested parties via your ERP what the issue was and how it should be dealt with?<\/p>\n
Or would you be reduced to manually syncing your data from multiple systems into a single spreadsheet each and everytime an action needs to be taken?<\/p>\n
