Overview

This IDC Manufacturing Insights report examines the current state of formula and specification management in brand-oriented value chain manufacturers.

"Formula and specification management is an increasingly important issue for brand-oriented value chain manufacturers, particularly those in the sub-segment of food and beverage where companies are experiencing the classic productivity 'vise.' They are expected to innovate better and faster, manage global and regional compliance obligations, and ensure the safety of their products and consumer — all with less resources," says Simon Ellis, practice director, Supply Chain Strategies.
