Manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler profiled New Role forQA Managers in the Food and Beverage Journal. According to Cutler,  More than halfof all Quality Assurance (QA) Managers in food manufacturing do not currentlyinterface with their company's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. TheBioterrorism Act, passed in 2002 to ensure the safety of the US food supply from aterrorist attack, is quickly changing the role that food quality professionals playin the selection and utilization of ERP software.  ERP selection was often left to a small committee that included the CEO, CFO,Operations and Purchasing Managers. ERP packages were designed to integrate alldepartments and functions across a company onto a single computer system that canserve all department needs. ERP software, at its best, combines the enterprise intoa single, integrated solution that runs off a single database so various departmentscan easily share information and communicate. When running at an optimum, thisintegrated approach has a tremendous payback. Until regulations were mandated by thegovernment, QA Managers were rarely considered in the ERP selection process or evenutilization of the integrated system. 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.
