Lot Control /// limits to functionality

There are some limitations to BPCS lot control functionality because
the MPS/MRP planning logic does not employ lot attributes 
(like lot expiration date and lot ingredient properties). 
Those limitations are presented with illustrations here:

That URL also presents a "Bells & Whistles for BPCS" software 
product that overcomes those limitations. The trademark is 
"Peas in a Pod."

Kathy,

A few "Food and Beverage" industries you might have heard of that I know 
first hand are either currently using BPCS Lot Management, or have used it 
successfully in the past, are:

Campbell's Soup
Pepperidge Farms
Polar Beverages

Subject  [BPCS-L] Lot Control

Dear All,

Our client in the Food and Beverage industry are considering implementing
Lot Control. They are currently using BPCS version 6.1, considering an
upgrade to Lx in the near future. 

"Due to the enlargement process currently underway at their branches, we
have been asked to look at the Requirement and Success factor of
implementing Lot control - for the purpose of stock rotation and
traceability. Can you advise if any FMCG company (preferably food) has 
moved
into lot control on BPCS, either locally or internationally? "

Thank you for considering this log.

Kind regards,
Kathy Hart
