Key Features

CFC provides a suite of formulation and management tools used extensively by Nutritionists, Formulators, Researchers and Developers, Food Scientists, Purchasers, Management, Sales and Marketing and Quality Assurance Departments within the Animal Feed, Pet Food, Human Food and other blending industries.

The Single Product Formulation System Concept 5 provides the database that integrates formulation and management functions:

  • generate product prices
  • assure regulatory compliance of product labels
  • promote sound purchasing/allocation decisions
  • communicate and exchange data between corporate, field and regional systems
  • interface formulation software with third-party or in-house accounting, manufacturing control and other business management systems.

  • For Ingredient Blending - Creative Formulation Concepts'ProMaxoffers new opportunities for maximizing profit.

The Concept5 Maximum Return Optimization Model:

Unlike traditional least cost algorithms that minimize costs, the ProMax model is structured on technology to maximize profit. When ingredient supplies are a factor in deciding which products are made and at what quantities, ProMax:

  • Allocates Ingredient usage
  • Determines which products to manufacture - and at what levels for the greatest profit
  • Determines and advises on the disposal or sale of excess ingredient inventories.

If you blend raw materials to produce a marketable product, we invite you to learn more about the function of the model and try it for 30 days with no obligation. Request a Concept5 trial download and CFC will provide instructions for activating the ProMax trial.
