Providing Yield Management and Traceability Solutions

Business Challenges

Cheese manufacturing is under great pressure to provide better traceability for consumers. Most cheese manufacturer’s lose traceability with the rework that occurs through trim. This loss of traceability creates two problems, first in the case of a recall; the window of recall is
large. The recall must be done by the “expected” time that materials were used. This often requires that material window recall is three times as large as the lot previous and the next lot. By providing a more “accurate” and timely traceability report, the client is able to reduce their exposure. The other key aspect of trace-ability provided is the linkage between vendors’ supplied lots and finished product for purposes of yield.

Raw cheese, whether purchased externally or manufactured internally has different
characteristics that impact the yield. By enabling true traceability, yield calculations
are more accurate and subtle difference in vendors and vendor lots of cheese can
be linked allowing a client to negotiate better pricing based on actual yields.
