Abstract
Food and drink manufacturers face the same competitive pressures as every other manufacturing sector, amplified by the special problems of their product and a relatively weak market position. The authors look at the special needs of software to support the industry. Relevant issues include perishability and health issues. The extended supply chain is considered, as is enterprise resource planning. Traceability is important
