In an emergency, you quickly know which finished products come from a suspect raw material batch, which customers they went to and how much is still in your own warehouse. Gaps in the quantity balance are noticed immediately, not only when the authorities look.

Is this for you?

  • You process raw materials from several batches into products with their own batch numbers.
  • Goods receipt, production and dispatch are recorded digitally, even if in different systems.
  • Your last traceability exercise took longer than you would like.
First step today

Make up a small exercise with two raw material batches, four production batches and six deliveries, or take data from a completed exercise with customer codes. Use the template below to have it traced and check whether the quantity balance shows the open quantities.

How to go about it

  1. Define the traceability question for an emergency
  2. Link goods receipt, production and dispatch
  3. Have affected batches and recipients identified
  4. Check the quantity balance and resolve gaps
  5. Prepare the list of those affected for the recall team
  6. Practise traceability regularly
