SYSPRO Enhances Ability to Trace Lot and Parts
COSTA MESA, Calif. - April 10, 2007 - SYSPRO, a leading enterprise business solutions provider, has announced a major upgrade to SYSPRO Lot Traceability capabilities as well as other numerous enhancements to facilitate the ability of manufacturers to trace parts and lots. This issue of being able to trace lots, ingredients/parts back to their source recently gained national importance with the contamination of pet food.
In addition to enabling users to trace items from their source to the current location while maintaining assurance certification and tracking expiration dates, there is now one-to-one tracking between component serials/lots and parent item serials/lots. This added performance gives manufacturers the ability to track which component serial numbers were used in the production of a particular parent serial number and which component lot numbers were used in the production of a particular parent lot. In addition, the upgraded solution maintains a history of traceable items for accountability and customer service follow-up and keeps detailed notes about inspections.
To facilitate tracking even further, additional new setup options have been added to the Work in Progress setup program. Options now include a choice of lots to be tracked from the components through to the parent part or serials to be tracked from the components through to the parent part.
The WIP Job Issues and WIP Lots/Bins/Serials Posting programs have also been enhanced for tracking purposes. Users can now select the reserved lots and/or reserved serials for the parent item into which the component lot and/or component serial number will be taken when kit issues are performed, and there is now also the ability to reserve lots and serials for the parent item or co-products.
The WIP Job Receipt program has also been modified. Users can now trace the parent serials and lots back to the component serials and lots that were issued to the job. In addition, the WIP Inspection Maintenance program now enables the traceability of lots to the parent serials and lots back to the component serials and lots that were issued to the job at the time of accepting the items into stock.
According to SYSPRO USA President Joey Benadretti, "The ability to trace lots and components is becoming increasingly vital to industries that must comply with governmental safety regulations. The recent contamination of pet foods is a great example of the importance of traceability.
"Safety remains a serious concern, and SYSPRO will continue efforts to enable its software to assist customers by providing users greater visibility and control over quality and tracking in industries like medical devices, pharmaceuticals and food where quality and regulatory conformance are particularly crucial."
