An Overview of Production Recipe Ingredient Management Software - Computerized Lot Tracking

We have an FDA compliant solution to fit your current needs and that is expandable as you grow toward a semi-automated or fully-automated system. This system allows you to manually record all required information and store it in the PRIMS software. For an FDA audit, you can cross-reference your product sources in a matter of seconds.

1. When you receive inventory at your facility your employees will need to record the following information:

• Ingredient Name
• Supplier Lot Number (if provided, or supplier data)
• Amount
• Transporter
• Supplier
• Manufacturer
• Optional Label Printing: While receiving, inventory labels can be automatically printed, which can then be attaced to each ingredient package.

2. Production schedules are created on the PRIMS computer where you schedule just the formula and number of batches. These production schedules are printed out and given to an operator who records the actual usages and lot numbers for each ingredient. When the operator mixes a batch he marks the holding container with the Batch ID assigned by PRIMS. When the operator finishes production they, or a supervisor, will enter the production data into the PRIMS system.

The following is a sample of this form.
(The area highlighted in gray would be handwritten while the rest is printed automatically.)

3. At the end of the production day or after you have recorded the received inventory, you will enter the production data from this form into PRIMS. This data entry requires minimal computer knowledge and takes about 1-2 minutes per formula. PRIMS will automatically assign the lot number and keeps track of inventory.

The History and Lot Tracking Reporting in PRIMS-Computerized Lot Tracking will operate as the full PRIMS system does in the literature and videos. This will give you full compliance with the FDA's Bioterrorism Act.
