A Data-Driven Approach: Recall Management and Improved Plant Floor Operations: 

Food processing plants, including meat plants, regularly have the opportunity to collect data throughout their entire operation. However, this data is often missed or neglected. Sometimes this data is not effectively used. 在大数据时代，有一系列的解决方案可以更好地收集和分析数据, a data-driven approach to operating food plants is becoming a norm in the industry. 这个迷你博客系列从多个角度探讨了以数据为中心的方法的重要性. 第一篇博客介绍了在召回管理和工厂运营中使用关键和可操作的数据. The rest of this blog series will dig into production control, the WIP process, and a data-centric approach to operational and financial efficiencies.

如果您的工厂希望以可扩展的方式收集关键和可操作的数据，并根据工厂的特定需求进行定制，则需要考虑以下几个因素.

Be proactive and predictive

对食品制造商来说，采取积极主动的方法来管理召回和预测性的方法来经营食品工厂有很大的好处. Data is one key element required to help implement predictive methods to plant management. Critical and actionable data enables better decision-making, minimizes risk, and empowers stakeholders across the plant floor and supply chain.

Adopt a preventative recall management strategy

Lack of recall management can be very expensive on multiple fronts for meat processors. A recall can hurt a processor’s brand and bring expensive lawsuits. 采用数据驱动方法的预防性召回管理实践是保持召回过程顶端的更明智的方法. 数据驱动的方法允许在关键生产点收集关键和可操作的数据. With this data, meat processors can enable full traceability throughout the plant. Thus, the entire production process from receiving to shipping can be meticulously tracked. 这种工厂范围内数据驱动的可追溯性方法可以成为预防性召回管理策略的支柱, and it can be very useful for implementing proactive recall management practices.

Implement plant floor technology and best practices

数据驱动的方法需要在工厂层面实施各种技术和最佳实践. 肉类加工企业已经在他们的前台和后台实施了最好的ERP系统和会计拉菲2注册登录包. However, when it comes to the plant floor, many meat processors are still using outdated technologies and practices. Sometimes, production processes are recorded on paper or in an Excel template. To gain an advantage with the data-driven approach, food plants need to have data-collecting devices, collection software, analytical software and industrial computers. Also, 它们需要将技术和人员结合在一起以收集关键和可操作的数据的最佳实践. 这些设备通常包括秤、扫描仪、打印机、计算机、移动设备等等. The manufacturing execution software (MES), 仓库管理拉菲2注册登录(WMS)和车间ERP拉菲2注册登录是所需拉菲2注册登录套件的关键部分. Furthermore, 团队需要接受在正确的收集点放置正确的数据收集设备的最佳实践方面的培训, 使用这些设备收集数据，并利用关键和可操作的数据来理解数据，以提高食品工厂的运营效率.

Take an incremental approach to process change

一旦执行团队决定实施数据驱动的方法来管理召回和改善整个工厂的运营，就需要不同用户群体之间的合作. Most importantly the plant management, process engineering and IT teams are left with the difficult task of technology selection, process flow design, solution implementation and staff training, as well as ensuring a seamless operation. This is not just a technology implementation exercise. This is a change management program, 这包括员工的认同，以及文化上的转变，即使用关键和可操作的数据来提高效率和召回做法.
Bringing about change is often a very difficult process. 确保食品制造商利用正确的解决方案合作伙伴的专业知识的迭代和增量方法可以帮助打破孤岛和变革阻力. 这有助于在不需要大量成本的情况下扩展现有系统，并有助于有效地导航更改. 合适的解决方案合作伙伴与真正的咨询方法相结合，可以帮助您取得成功.

Embrace solution integration

解决方案集成是实现车间数据采集系统的最佳方法, which consists of hardware and software. 这种方法限制了风险，并带来了经过验证的实践，以确定工厂中理想的数据收集点. 解决方案集成还有助于确定用于数据收集的正确技术和用于理解所收集数据的强大工具. 集成解决方案平台为工厂操作员在整个工厂的每个所需点提供数据收集. Thus, 解决方案集成提供了一个广泛使用的集成解决方案平台，该平台将改进操作并增强召回管理.
