Viewers of the video program are informed precisely how industry leaders learn to properly design, implement, and manage an effective supplier and control program. Schauf is based in Carrollton, Texas. He is responsible for Quality Systems and Food Safety Programs, and also functions as Technical Adviser to the Operations and R&D Departments.
Supply chain risks are everywhere with suppliers and their suppliers, ingredients and raw materials, in the warehouse and on the plant floor, and in finished goods. TraceGains’ webinar will address some of these concerns. Topics to be discussed include implications of the FSMA and GFSI on supply chain management, defining supplier base characteristics, establishing vendor control parameters, designing a custom vendor program for food safety and quality as well as auditing and evaluating vendor performance.
TraceGains (www.tracegains.com) is for quality, purchasing, product development, and other departments, that are burdened with manually managing suppliers and documents. Supplier documentation storage, whether in file cabinets or in digital formats, may satisfy regulatory retention requirements, but does little to systematically unlock the wealth of business, compliance, and regulatory information they contain and you require on a daily basis to operate successfully.
By automatically analyzing and scorecarding supplier-provided documentation as it is received—such as certificates of analysis, qualification questionnaires, audit documents and their results, certifications (Kosher, Organic, etc.), insurance certificates, allergen questionnaires, and other import requirements (COOL, C-TPAT, FSMA, GFSI), among others—TraceGains helps food and nutraceutical manufacturers and ingredient processors automate document management, meet regulatory and industry compliance requirements, identify best and worst suppliers, source better with less risk, automatically raise product quality, and painlessly perform or participate in audits, all without needing to involve the IT department to help with complex technology.
Some of the food industry categories which have observed significant benefits using TraceGains include baking mixes, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, snack foods, confectionery, dairy, salad dressings, herbs & seasonings, flavors, dips, glazes & marinades, cheese processing and manufacturing, frozen foods, breakfast cereals, dietary supplements, Meals Ready to Eat (MREs), convenience foods, and restaurant chains.
TraceGains customers experience on average a 56% reduction in out-of-spec lot receipts, and a 20% reduction in attribute variability, resulting in enhanced continuous improvement, better performing ingredient and raw material inventory, improved cash flow, and long-term brand protection.

Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched.
Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business.
The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on “validated learning,” rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute.
Rather than wasting time creating elaborate business plans, The Lean Startup offers entrepreneurs - in companies of all sizes - a way to test their vision continuously, to adapt and adjust before it’s too late. Ries provides a scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in a age when companies need to innovate more than ever.

This year’s Sage Summit was held at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in Washington, D.C. from July 21 – 26, 2013. Despite undergoing several changes as a company in the past few years, Sage Summit managed to produce a fair turnout, with attendance estimated at just over 1,800. The keynote address, delivered by Sage North America chief executive Pascal Houillon and Sage North America’s parent company Sage Plc CEO Guy Berruyer, focused on highlighting the company’s achievements over the past year rather than presenting significant company changes and product unveilings.
As a whole, the conference addressed recent Cloud and mobility trends. During the conference, Sage revealed their plans to move their ERP line (specifically Sage 100 ERP, Sage 300 ERP, and Sage ERP X3) to the Cloud, which will be hosted on Microsoft Azure. Sage also unveiled a demo of a voice-enabled mobile application that will allow businesses to access important data stored in Sage’s ERP and Fixed Asset products from anywhere at any time.
The biggest news to come out of Sage Summit, however, was Sage’s focus on accountants. Jennifer Warawa, Sage Software’s vice president of partner programs, and Tom Hood, CEO of Maryland Association of CPAs, announced the partnership of Sage and the Business Learning Institute and their plans for offering Web-based and live, in-person accounting tracks designed to give accountants more information on ways to grow their service offerings and use current technology for their success. The program will offer three separate tracks, including the technical expert track geared toward CPAs content with their practice structure; the aspiring track designed for accounting professionals interested in offering more consulting services to their clients; and the visionary track created for accountants who have embraced technology and already act as advisors to their clients.
“We have attended Sage Summit for many years, and we are excited about the direction Sage North America is headed," said Joseph Arnone, President, BAASS. "We believe Sage is moving in the right direction by offering Cloud-based ERP products and developing mobile solutions for businesses on-the-go. We support Sage’s decision to focus on providing accounting professionals with the information they need to use the technology they’ve been given. The focus has always been on getting accountants to invest in technology; now it is time to help them understand the technology and use it for their benefit.”
