| FlexGen 4 Lot/Serial Number tracking facilities are especially powerful in industries requiring cradle to grave component history and tracking. The need to collect and retain source related data for potential recall and failure analysis of key components in the field for many industries including avionics, medical products and computer technology is often mandatory.
Many times the customer
service and warranty process requires
that selected materials or components
are tracked through their lifecycle not
only to track the upgrade and rework of
the parts, but to collect and manage the
costs associated with the items. Historical
trends of expenditures by part, supply
chain, use and other parameters can be
tracked for service life and reliability
over time.
These tools are very helpful
to Quality Assurance efforts where questions
and reliability problems emerge and field
information and feedback is required.
Quality can request production and process
control data by Lot or Serial Number to
track and review field reliability or
recall when necessary.
Benefits of
implementing Lot/Serial Number Traceability
are:
- That all transactions
properly managed, can be reviewed and
analyzed by identifying Lot and Serial
Numbers for instant location and suppliers.
- Compliance reporting
and tracking of critical components
for selected industries can be implemented
optionally or across the board for all
transactions.
- Production and
Inventory management is simplified and
streamlined by the effective way Lot
and Serial Number tracking was implemented.
- That costs and
service levels behind high dollar warranty
obligations are efficiently controlled
and reported for trend analysisis to
management.
