e21erp® provides robust and scalable manufacturing software functionality for cheese and dairy manufacturers.
Cheese and dairy processors rely on E21 ERP to manage their operations from formulas, recipes, and scalable batches through the entire manufacturing process with complete lot traceability.
With E21 ERP, cheese and dairy processors can leverage the system’s other essential functionality to automate and create efficiencies, including using market-based pricing, catch weight processing, wireless warehouse management, product distribution, and more.
With commodity products, it’s especially important to account for the true costs of your manufactured cheese and dairy products. However, commodity goods pricing isn’t always available when the inventory is delivered. You may not know how much you’ll be charged until after the inventory has been consumed in a manufacturing process. This is why E21 includes lot re-costing functionality, allowing you to re-cost consumed ingredients based on a date range and lot number.
With E21’s cheese and dairy ERP, you can set up the MRP process to run in a nightly batch or at any time with the click of a button. The system automatically generates production plans that consider open orders, current inventory positions, min/max and safety stock inventory rules, manufacturing capacities, and open purchase orders. It also automatically generates machine schedules and requisitions based on these factors. System-generated purchase orders consider factors like preferred vendors and vendors’ lead time requirements.
Cheese and dairy companies rely on E21’s MRP forecasting tools to help them account for promotional and seasonal fluctuations in demand. The data-driven forecasts enable the procurement team to improve order and line-item fill rates while driving down inventory-carrying costs.
E21 ERP’s cheese and dairy ERP software includes bill of materials (BOM), formula, and recipe management features that allow you to easily adjust the batch size and yield. With built-in substitution rules, you can also substitute with different ingredients to account for changes in customer requirements or ingredient availability.
