MANUFACTURING
The problem
Most manufacturers can trace on paper, given time. The regulatory and commercial question is how much time: which customers received product containing a specific supplier lot, answered in hours rather than days.
Traceability built as a by-product of production recording costs nothing extra. Traceability reconstructed after an incident costs the recall and the reputation.
