ERP selection was often left to a small committee that includedthe CEO, CFO, Operations and Purchasing Managers. ERP packages were designed tointegrate all departments and functions across a company onto a single computersystem that can serve all department needs. ERP software, at its best, combines theenterprise into a single, integrated solution that runs off a single database sovarious departments can easily share information and communicate. When running at anoptimum, this integrated approach has a tremendous payback. Until regulations weremandated by the government, QA Managers were rarely considered in the ERP selectionprocess or even utilization of the integrated system. Manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler profiled New Role for QA Managers in theFood and Beverage Journal. According to Cutler,  More than half of all QualityAssurance (QA) Managers in food manufacturing do not currently interface with theircompany's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The Bioterrorism Act, passed in2002 to ensure the safety of the US food supply from a terrorist attack, is quicklychanging the role that food quality professionals play in the selection andutilization of ERP software.  The Bioterrorism Act makes lot traceability documentation a requirement by law, notmerely an option or desirable ERP feature. According to Rebecca Gill, vicePresident of Technology Group International, a software development house, Compliance with the Bioterrorism Act means full tracking of raw material lotsthrough manufacturing and of finished good lots through shipment to customer. Gill says complete reporting on lot genealogy, showing all usage of lots from vendorto manufacturing to end-user is also a must. The system should also provide theability to query end-user sales orders and see all raw materials and finished goodlots used for specific shipment; evaluate lots from vendors or manufacturing to seeall the end-users who received shipments; and track lot properties with allowable"criteria" for each lot.The complete feature article may be viewed at:http://www.fepsearchgroup. com/fbj/articles/article024.ht m.
