« Au premier temps de la valse, … » (“At the first beat of the waltz…”) sang Jacques Brel. Management of control plans and quality analyses is also a waltz in three beats that turns and accelerates.
All food companies ensure the quality control of their products, but tracking analyses is always complex.
Control analyses are conducted to verify that products are suitable for the market, in compliance with regulatory, internal, and customer requirements.

*ERP: Entreprise Ressource Planning
The art of enhancing products! Beautiful watches are stored in elegant boxes, cosmetics come in attractive packaging, and quality products are delivered with the appropriate quality documents.
In the agri-food industry, quality management is a key factor in ensuring food safety and consumer satisfaction.

Using a real computer tool dedicated to quality control management can save you 30 hours per month and be extremely profitable.
