Chemicals Manufacturing with CompuTec Solutions

CompuTec ProcessForce supports percentage-based BOMs where ingredient quantities are defined as a proportion of the finished quantity rather than fixed amounts. This supports precise formulation management for products where ingredient ratios must be maintained consistently. Multiple active BOM revisions can be maintained for the same product, making it straightforward to manage alternative formulations when raw material properties or availability change.

Items can be classified by hazard type and assigned regulatory phrases, including EU Risk and Safety Phrases, within CompuTec ProcessForce. Material Safety Data Sheets and other safety documents can be generated and attached at item level, supporting compliance in environments where REACH or GHS/CLP documentation requirements apply. Safety data sheets and handling instructions can also be attached directly to routing operations, giving production staff access to relevant safety information at the point of use.

Yes. Co-products and by-products generated during chemical production runs can be defined within the BOM and recorded at production receipt. Their values are factored into the cost calculation, so the net cost of the main product can reflect the economics of the full production run more accurately.

Quality Control Test Protocols can be configured to measure properties such as viscosity, pH, density, and color, with pass/fail thresholds defined per specification. Results are recorded digitally and linked to the relevant batch and Manufacturing Order. When a test fails, a Non-Conforming Materials Report can be generated to formally document the non-conformance and the corrective action required. This supports structured quality management relevant under ISO 9001.

Multiple cost categories can be defined alongside the standard production cost, allowing alternative scenarios, such as different supplier prices or raw material sources, to be modeled without affecting live production valuations. When a simulation is finalized, its values can be transferred to the standard cost category via the Cost Roll-Over function.

Yes. Subcontractor operations such as specialist blending, filling, or finishing can be defined as subcontractor-type resources within CompuTec ProcessForce and included as operations within the routing. These operations are included in the Manufacturing Order structure alongside internal operations, keeping all production steps visible and costed in one place.

The Weigh and Dispense capability in CompuTec PDC integrates with physical weighing devices to guide operators through a step-by-step dispensing process. At each step, operators can see the planned quantity, the quantity already issued, and the quantity on open pick orders. Batch status checks are available before materials are issued, helping to confirm that the correct materials are dispensed to production.

REACH requires manufacturers to maintain documentation on the chemical substances in their products, including safety information and hazard classifications. CompuTec ProcessForce supports item-level hazard classifications, regulatory phrases, and MSDS documentation. These capabilities are relevant to the documentation requirements of REACH. Specific regulatory applicability should be verified with your compliance team.
