Chemicals and life sciences manufacturers like you have unique requirements when it comes to your manufacturing operations. Infor SyteLine® for Chemicals is built on 30 years of manufacturing solution expertise and a Process Industry Pack, making it easy to adjust formulas, build batches based on exacting manufacturing specifications, and monitor and respond to the evolving regulatory environment.
Flexible formula management
Process manufacturers like you need a formula management system that helps develop formulas that account for factors like solubility and total yield. You need a system that has the flexibility to resize formulas to produce batches based on percentages, not quantity amounts. Infor® SyteLine for Chemicals provides the unique materials management and product customization functionality you need.
Build a better batch
The solution's manufacturing specification features make it easy for you to accommodate the impact of seasonal changes or introduce new raw materials to your formulas. You can use the manufacturing specification capabilities to produce consistent batches without making changes to multiple finished goods, regardless of the time of year.
Stay on top of quality requirements and regulations
Companies in the chemicals and life sciences industries face increased quality assurance requirements. The solution includes lot recall capabilities that help you fully trace lots affected by a recall on a continuum that goes back to the raw material vendor, and forward to all the customers receiving those lots. In addition, you can utilize the core quality management features to adhere to tough regulatory requirements.
