One Truth for Product Quality
Product specifications for produce and fresh products include textual requirements, visual examples, tolerances, and evaluation criteria. When multiple versions are shared via PDF, email, and spreadsheets, discrepancies arise between the agreed-upon quality and the quality that is actually assessed.
With QC One Specification Manager, you can centrally record product requirements, manage changes, and share specifications in a controlled manner with suppliers, inspectors, and other supply chain partners.
Specifications as Part of the Operational Process
The module goes beyond document management. Up-to-date specification data is available in QC One Inspector and thus becomes part of daily quality control. Inspectors evaluate products directly based on the correct textual and visual criteria.
- Centrally create and manage specifications.
- Track version history and archiving.
- Organize access by supplier, customer, or supply chain partner.
- Define textual and visual quality criteria.
- Use specifications directly in QC inspections.
Less Dependence on Isolated Knowledge
When quality requirements are known only to individual employees or suppliers, knowledge transfer is vulnerable. Specification Manager ensures that knowledge is retained within the organization that owns the specification. This keeps criteria available and manageable even as people, suppliers, or product lines change.
From Requirement to Supplier Performance
By linking specifications to inspection results, you can see how the delivered quality compares to the agreed-upon standard. This supports discussions with suppliers, category management, and procurement, and forms the basis for continuous improvement.
Unlike Foodcare Online Specification Management
QC One Specification Manager focuses on supply-chain-wide shared quality criteria for produce and fresh products. Foodcare Online Specification Management focuses primarily on raw materials, recipes, allergens, and product specifications within food production.
