FORMULATOR Quality Manager Extends FORMULATOR
 to the QC Laboratory

What is Quality Manager?

Quality Manager has been developed to expand the materials and formula specifications, testing and control functions to the Quality 
Control Laboratory. It also provides the tools to allow the Quality Control Laboratory to define materials and formula specifications to 
meet both company and customer requirements and then test and archive batch additions and test results. 

Quality Manager utilizes the Quality Control Test definition created in FORMULATOR QC Maintenance with QC Series Editor and the  QC Procedures and tests created by Formula In Lab-Book Formulator Maintenance QC Maintenance tab development editor. It also provides the capability to define specifications and create Quality Test Tickets by defined batch and by customer with batch tickets or integrated with Batch Manufacturing software tied to batch tickets in integrated ERP Manufacturing software. 

Quality Manager provides the user tools to record and document multiple QC test results and material adds, by formula batch and outputs the data to a listing for batch analysis and can create a Certificate of Analysis by batch,
by product, by customer.

Batch Quality Control allows multiple testing cycles, saving data as batch additions are made.  There are no limits to the number of QC cycles and additions.  As materials are added the amount of each add is documented  and added to the total batch quantity.  Add tickets can be generated by the QC Chemist to assure that the batch mixer makes the correct additions and that the progress of the batch is documented.  The final QC results are then available to generate the basis for a batch review and Certificates of Analysis.
