What is Traceability ERP Solution?
The ability to track and trace goods across multiple trading partners with real-time visibility and quickly respond to market needs is the key to a successful and efficiently managed supply chain. In this context, businesses such as manufacturers, logistics providers and retailers are facing a multitude of challenges, which include:
- Higher than ever expectations of quality and safety from consumers
- Increased demand for quick and efficient responses to questions regarding product ingredients from regulators
- Need for immediate and effective product withdrawals/recalls in the event of a crisis
Even if your system allows you to put a skills code on a routing step, most don’t do anything with the information when it comes to real time traceability.
Any traceability solution must link all teams and tools to provide a single source of truth and absolute transparency between systems. For that, there needs to be data integration across tools from both up- and downstream – from the teams that plan, design and create software, to the teams that build, deploy and maintain the software. That means automating the flow of all requirements and associated artifacts (and any modifications and changes) across all tools in real-time. Not only does this data improve specialist’s productivity and the quality of their work, but management and CIOs can create a well-constructed ERP traceability system which can be a tremendous asset in such circumstances. Here’s how:
Minimize recall size: Since it’s clear what product is at risk, where it went, and when, it’s possible to track the product 24/7. This keeps both the costs and visibility of the recall low.
Respond quickly: Information can come from many sources. A supplier may detect a problem after the event, a customer could find a defective product, or internal process monitoring, control and inspection activities might unearth an issue. Traceability makes it possible to work through the supply chain in either direction. The linkage with ERP through recipes and formulas, supplier information, and customers makes it possible to retrieve information rapidly and to know where the affected product went. This can be pulled up as actionable data for those working on the recall.
Data integrity: Traceability systems that are an integrated component of your ERP systems connecting multiple departments along the supply chain, including sales, production, quality, and distribution – reduces keying errors and generates reliable data. This minimizes uncertainty and confusion during a recall and helps to reduce its scope and scale. It also ensures there’s data to know when every at-risk product has been recalled.
Maintain customer trust and confidence: An aura of competence is created when a manufacturer is clear about what lot numbers, batches, or distribution outlets are affected. This reassures customers that the situation is under control and there’s no risk to them.
Data for liability claim protection: Effective traceability forms the basis of systems that ensure every at-risk item is removed from shelves, protecting a company against claims of negligence. And don’t overlook that an effective traceability system is actually a way to build competitive advantage since it lets a company respond quicker and more effectively than can less far-sighted competitors.
