Process Manufacturing
Process manufacturing is a form of manufacturing that result in the formulation of a final product. Unlike other manufacturing processes, the end result of process manufacturing is a final product that cannot be separated into the distinct components used to create the product. Process manufacturing involves the use of recipes and formulas that require exact proportions of different ingredients.
Process manufacturing software must be able to handle distinct and specific processes of the manufacturing process. In able to benefit the manufacturer, process manufacturing software must be able to handle many functions including the management and calculation of input ingredients as well as the packaging of the final product.
Process manufacturers are typically found in the food and chemical industries where the process of manufacturing the final product involve exact amounts of different ingredients. Often, these products cannot be easily separated back into the original component parts used to form the final product.
