I have many formulas to review to determine which trial formulas to release to production. Can Concept5 simplify this time-consuming task?
Yes. Select Batch Formulation from the Main Menu, and specify which products you wish to reformulate. Following the formulation run, a Worklist will appear on the screen. The worklist shows all the products requested in the batch formulation run. The New Form column displays the ingredient cost of the new run. The Prod’n Form column displays the ingredient cost of the stored production formula (a red number in this column indicates a violation between the current specifications and the stored production formula). The Savings column is the production formula cost minus the new formula cost. If desired, you may save the worklist for recall at a later time. An individual formula may be viewed and/or modified in the “Buffered Formulation” screen by highlighting it and selecting the “View Formula” button.
