Questions from operators

Food production and batch questions

How Forkto preserves the actual inputs, result and release decision for each run.

Can I trace the actual ingredient lots used in production?

Yes. Operators issue the supplier or in-house stock lots used on the line, and those inputs remain attached to the finished production batch.

What happens when actual yield differs from the plan?

The measured yield and variance stay in the run. The team can add context and record the review before the batch is released.

What evidence stays with the finished batch?

The approved recipe revision, actual input lots, operator, yield, dates, variance notes and release history stay connected to the output.
