Agentrics Releases a “FSMA Readiness Promotion”
Agentrics announced the release of its FSMA Readiness Promotion. “This promotion is an industry first. Agentrics understands the urgency around FSMA readiness and our objective is to provide clients with an actionable and affordable path to compliance.” says Kurt Johnson, VP North America.
Agentrics will include the Quality Assurance module and waive the associated subscription fees with any new Agentrics PLM software package bought before April 30th, 2011.
The Food Safety Modernization Act will define new regulations for food facilities and food importers. The FDA will have the ability to mandate recalls. US Retailers seeking to protect their brand and keep pace with the evolving regulatory environment will need Audit, Traceability and Issue Management processes and procedures in place. Agentrics PLM software provides a foundation for total visibility and total control of the product, suppliers, components and raw materials. The Quality Assurance function with Agentrics PLM automatically captures and stores quality procedures linking protocols to product, specifications, as well as different suppliers and plants so that auditors have visibility of the issues requiring evaluation. Automatic alerts notify you of key tasks for completion, eliminating the need for frequent meetings to update the status of a product under development.
The Agentrics Quality Assurance management module offers innovative functionality directly addressing inefficiencies in quality assurance & vendor qualification processes, cumbersome issue management techniques, and the heavy financial impact of product recalls. Our experience has shown that much of the expense involved in recalls and issue management is attributed to the time and the labor involved in managing the response. Day-to-day management of customer complaints and supplier audits cost an estimated $100,000 in internal labor on these specific tasks alone.
