It is a complex and labour-intensive industry and when compared to other manufacturing sectors, has its own challenges.” Food and beverage companies require efficiency in the business and throughout the supply chain. Having an ERP system that is relevant for the needs of food manufacturers ensures that factors like material requirements planning, inventory management and recipe control function properly. Food ERP systems provide everything a business needs to perform core food and beverage functions, including: With recall functionality and built-in controls to preclude product recalls from happening in the first place, industry-relevant ERP solutions enable companies to better prepare for, prevent and minimise product recalls, limiting potential damage to the business. When it comes to food and beverages, consumers today are more health-conscious than ever about what they choose to consume, and what effects their choices have on the planet. Their purchases are often strongly determined by nutritional value, packaging and shelf-life. They want to know what is in the food they buy, which creates an increased demand for transparency in product labelling and food safety. “This increases costs in an industry that already has tight margins,” says Adendorff. “To mitigate the impact of these demands, ERP for the food and beverage sector makes it easy to track information and meet the requirements for compliance with food safety regulations, both in South Africa and abroad." Companies that export food and beverages abroad are required to meet, among others, FDA FSMA and the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety, a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmark, which means it's accepted by many of the world's biggest retailers. Achieving the certification ensures that consumers have confidence in the products. BRC contains requirements for food processors to follow to build an effective food safety management system that includes full traceability. “Food-relevant ERPs that can account for all processes is essential for companies that need to meet regulatory requirements – as well as those of other food safety compliance and regulatory bodies – helping manufacturers ensure full compliance and deal with non-conformance,” says Adendorff.“ An ERP system can schedule and manage production, assuring quality control. It can also manage non-conformance and corrective action requests for audit purposes.” The software can be configured and installed in a way that constantly benchmarks against standards. It assists with streamlining and automating processes, saving considerable time for employees and management. “Having software to monitor, measure and analyse product quality and delivery helps to reduce waste and inefficiencies throughout the business,” Adendorff adds. “This has a positive impact on productivity and can help to boost the bottom line, even in a tough economy.” Seidor Africa is a leading SAP Business One Reseller in Africa and a top technology integrator.

Cr George Cecato was previously Council’s nominated alternate councillor for the Northern Regional Planning Panel (NRPP), however his election as Deputy Mayor in September saw him automatically obtain a nominated position on the committee. Therefore, Council had to nominate another alternate councillor to fill this vacant position. Cr Adendorff nominated himself for the role at Council’s recent ordinary meeting on Thursday, 22 October, and Cr Sally Townley was nominated by Cr Tegan Swan in Cr Townley’s absence at the Council’s meeting. Cr Adendorff was voted for over Cr Townley for the position four votes to two, with Cr Denise Knight, Cr Adendorff, Cr John Arkan, Cr George Cecato and Cr Keith Rhoades voting for Cr Adendorff, and Cr Paul Amos and Cr Tegan Swan voting for Cr Townley. Councillors then unanimously resolved to note that the Mayor and Deputy Mayor are the nominated representatives on the NRPP, and in the event the Mayor or Deputy Mayor cannot attend, nominate Cr Adendorff to be the alternate councillor representative on the Northern Regional Planning Panel. The voting numbers are indicative of the power structure of CHCC – unbalanced and not representative of the community at large. Bring on the election! Your email address will not be published.
