Paper is the truth

Paper master formulas and BMRs are the authoritative record. Digital copies (if any) are convenience prints.

Digital exists but drifts

Recipes/BOMs exist in ERP or shared spreadsheets, but paper is what gets followed because the digital versions are known to drift.

ERP-governed with known gaps

ERP is the system of record; recipes sit in a formal recipe-management module; documented gaps with a resourced remediation plan.

Validated, release-ready

Master data is reviewed, reconciled, and validated as part of the eBR programme; controlled change-approval workflow with named owners.

Automated lifecycle

Permanent master-data governance with KPIs; approved QMS changes auto-trigger new MES/eBR recipe versions.
