Summary
Cedar Creek FoodChain can store NVD information into its database. This information is manually entered by the operator when the animals are received and so is prone to data entry errors. The main purpose of this project was to develop an electronic National Vendor Declaration (eNVD) retrieval and update capability within Cedar Creek ‘FoodChain’.
Objectives
1. Develop the interface between the eNVD system and FoodChain in accordance with the published eNVD Conceptual Model and Data Standards. All messages required to facilitate the receival of eNVDs and the transmission of updates and required data to the supplier and NLIS will be facilitated. This includes LPA NVDs (Cattle, Sheep, Goat, Bobby Calf, EU Cattle), MSA Declarations, NFAS Declarations (Delivery Docket, Form B, EU Grain-Fed High Quality Beef), and Health Declarations (Cattle, Sheep, Goat).
2. Integrate the eNVD interface process into the Livestock Receival and Payment module of FoodChain. Consignment information will be matched with livestock bookings, kill data and payments.
3. Apply for and obtain an ISC licence for eNVD.
4. Conduct a live beta test at two Cedar Creek customer sites. Frewstal and Midfield Meats are the two customer sites that Cedar Creek is planning to trial at.
Key findings
1. eNVD capabilities within FoodChain are developed for production use, in accordance with the published eNVD Data Standards. An eNVD production licence (V3) is applied for and obtained once FoodChain meets the eNVD assessment criteria.
2. The beta test plan is finalised in collaboration with ISC.
3. Live beta test is conducted at two client sites and an adequate level of support is provided to trial participants so that they are able to use FoodChain to retrieve and update eNVD data.
4. Beta test outcomes and learnings are captured and provided to ISC on a weekly basis throughout the test period within an agreed reporting template. User feedback and any issues, opportunities/risks are captured in the weekly report. Any software refinements are identified and discussed with ISC.
5. Milestone reports are documented at the end of each milestone.
Benefits to industry
Cedar Creek have successfully developed and tested an eNVD interface within the CCC Food Chain product that complies with published eNVD data standards. Compliance with the standards have been proven via the successful integration with NLIS on eNVD records. Cedar Creek has applied and received an ISC licence for eNVD.
All Beta testing has been completed at 2 Live production sites and documented in the Milestone 4 report. The reduction in data input error is the key improvement across the two BETA sights improving efficiency and data input error corrections.
