What is "Control Recipe" in manufacturing??

Answer 1

In batch processing, a recipe is defined as the necessary set of information that uniquely identifies the production requirements for a specific product. In other words, a recipe tells us how to combine ingredients (raw materials) using equipment to make a product. Different parts of a company may require different types of information about a product or the process to manufacture it.

The 4 recipe types are: General, Site, Master and Control Recipe.

A control recipe is used to create a single, specific batch. It starts as a copy of a master recipe and is modified as necessary to create a batch. The modifications may account for batch size, characteristics of raw materials on-site (e.g., potency), or actual equipment to be used. While several (dozens, hundreds, or thousands of) batches may use the same master recipe, every batch has a single control recipe unique to that batch and that batch alone. Two control recipes may be identical in ingredients, quantities, or equipment used, but they are identified individually nonetheless. Control recipes unique to individual batches allow product tracking or genealogy to occur.
