Future Food Congress in Las Vegas to Feature Presentation by TraceGains’ Richard Ross
The Food industry has found itself at a pivotal juncture where the usual market forces are no longer solely responsible for driving innovation and change. Security and safety now also determine the way the industry moves forward. With this unique set of problems it is crucial that Food Manufacturers collaboratively face these challenges head on.
The Future Food Congress is designed to help manufacturers overcome today's challenges and work towards tomorrow's solutions by bringing together some of the industry's top minds and innovators for three days of think tanks, panel discussions, case studies and keynote presentations. March 29 – 31, 2009 in Las Vegas, The Congress will address all major issues and explore the features and characteristics vital to remaining or becoming a truly world-class organization. A special workshop regarding Quality Assurance: Taking Stock – Brand Protection
presented by TraceGains’ Richard Ross will be a critical presentation at this event. According to Ross, “As a food manufacturer you sit in the middle of the food supply chain, turning raw materials into finished goods. Because of the complexity of your supply chain, the many transformations that raw material undergoes during processing and manufacturing, and the inability of incumbent enterprise technology to main ingredient-level traceability across all events, it is quite easy to relinquish control to upstream suppliers, while retain all the associated risks and liability. Discover solutions to not let this happen.”
The mission at TraceGains (www.TraceGains.com) is to protect the brand of food and beverage clients by eliminating problems before product is shipped to the customer. If a problem does occur this unique solution can minimize the brand damage by using patented recall trace-back and track-forward technologies. A recall alert can be initiated within minutes, reducing potentially bad news to one news cycle, and saving customers millions of dollars in long-term brand rehabilitation costs. The Recall Detective analyzes critical risk factors, going beyond material movement tracking; the Recall Minimizer provides instant multiple scenarios for reduced brand damage.
Increase Profits
By correlating and analyzing previously disparate data sets in the value chain, only TraceGains makes it possible to connect upstream inputs, suppliers, and raw materials to downstream outcomes such product quality or customer satisfaction. Firms can coach or replace poorly performing suppliers and counteract profit-draining events within the enterprise, as well perpetuate positive practices internally and throughout the supply chain, to achieve complete profit optimization. At TraceGains this is achieved through the Profit Optimizer.
According to Gary Nowacki, CEO of TraceGains, “Stuff happens. No matter how well HACCP, GMP, GAP or other systems work. Our solution continuously monitors all critical supply chain risk points, both within and outside the four walls of an enterprise. The system alerts busy managers to high-risk potential problems on an exception basis, so they can take action on the most critical and preventable problems before they are received for processing or shipped to customers. We are proud to be attending the conference.”
