Food Manufacturing Challenges

Are Manual Systems Limiting Your Food Production?

Food Safety Compliance Burden

Manual FSMA compliance requires extensive documentation and monitoring creating significant administrative burden. Food safety teams spend 40% of time on paperwork instead of preventive activities. Paper-based HACCP monitoring creates audit trail gaps and increases recall risk. Manual lot tracking makes 1-hour trace exercises impossible to complete.

Production Inefficiency

Manual changeovers between products take 2-4 hours reducing available production time. Equipment downtime averages 15-20% due to reactive maintenance approaches. Manual quality checks create bottlenecks with 30-45 minute hold times for results. Limited production visibility prevents optimization opportunities.

Quality Inconsistency

Manual process control creates product variations affecting taste texture and appearance. Out-of-specification batches occur in 5-8% of production requiring rework or disposal. Customer complaints related to quality consistency average 12-15 per month. Limited trending capability makes it difficult to identify root causes of quality issues.

Merck Animal Health installed and started up a new automated packaging line. Due to resource constraints, GMP Pros was contracted to create IOPQ protocols and execute the protocols. GMP Pros provided excellent day-to-day communications. This included status updates, specific information or direction needed and draft documents for review. Bottom Line = GMP Pros provided excellent service with very little direction. Their experience is a testament to the service they can provide.
