Traceability
Traceability
Ability to follow the history, application, location and transformation of a product, material or component.
Examples
- 01During a recall of faulty brake hoses, traceability lets the plant find all 1,240 affected cars instead of recalling 40,000.
- 02Traceability data is captured at receiving, production and shipping by scanning, not by hand.
- 03Every year, a traceability test picks 10 random products and checks that their full history is found within an hour.
