Controlled production conditions, with calibrated process instruments and quantity control.

How to cover product and process control in Kimobox

  1. 1Manage the product design file with its validation built in.
  2. 2Document the allergen management plan as a controlled process.
  3. 3Log process conditions directly on the process map.

The allergen plan stays linked to the process and the product, not in a document consulted from memory.
