7.0.

Mar-Kov CMS helps to streamline manufacturing processes, improve product quality,

production and packaging environments.

New and Improved Features

Batch Execution (Improved)
CMS now prompts and polices the operator through the execution of a batch including
all process steps, equipment reservation, equipment cleaning and sanitization. With
this added functionality paper documents are no longer required to fully execute a
manufacturing order.

Workflow (Improved)
Workflow can be attached to most processes in CMS. Workflow enhancements include
automatic e-mail notification of all concerned parties.

Significantly Faster (New)
Developed in .NET, CMS has reduced the number of communication transactions required
between our software and the server, significantly improving performance
particularly over wide area networks.

No Citrix or Terminal Server Required (New)
CMS no longer requires a permanent unbroken connection to the server - our software
automatically reconnects as necessary. This makes implementation across a WAN
extremely efficient. Browser based convenience without the limitations of a browser
interface.

User Customizable Forms (New)
All forms can now be customized by the user. This includes adding and removing
fields, renaming fields, reorganizing fields, and adding new tabs to a form.

User Customizable Reports (New)
All reports are user customizable.

Packaging Order Execution (New)
CMS will guide the operator through the execution of packaging orders including
equipment reservation and enforcement of equipment cleaning/sanitization procedures.
This feature provides traceability for all ingredients and packaging materials.

Scale Calibration (New)
Our software will enforce the calibration of scales according to user defined
schedules.

Mar-Kov CMS provides immediate benefits to clients, including complete traceability
of all materials and operations, consistent standardized recipes, and less paperwork
to meet compliance requirements.
