Recall.

For consumers it can mean illness and, in some cases, death from ingesting tainted products. For producers a recall, however modest, can mean lost business and, often, bankruptcy.

The bottom line: Recalls are not good for anyone. 

For food and beverage producers surviving a recall hinges on several factors, not the least of which is the ability to trace up and down their supply chain from supplier to retailer.  There are many ways to implement lot trace in an enterprise, some good and some not so good. 

Today’s podcast explores the importance of lot trace to a food and beverage enterprise, the differences between single and multi-level lot trace, and what to look for when evaluating an ERP system to automate your manufacturing processes.
