Traceability remains a buzzword in the manufacturing world, and for good reason. Achieving high traceability within an organization essentially means materials or product components are consistently and accurately tracked from initial arrival at a production facility to finished goods being shipped.

How to improve traceability within a manufacturing facility
Traceability is critical in the production process because that process is not perfect. There are times when errors in the process occur or products make their way through it but are not up to standards in terms of quality. In these instances, having the ability to perform a root cause analysis and easily determine when and where errors occurred is crucial. Faster identification means a quicker resolution of personnel, material, or machine issues – saving an organization time and money. More...
