Production batch tracking

Tracking a product through production processes

There are two reasons for wanting to track products as they move through production process. One is to maintain batch traceability of the raw materials. This means being able to trace a fault in a product back to the material that caused the problem. The other reason is to verify that there was nothing wrong in any of the processes. Once you have a complete track of your production you can identify either the problem within the process or the batch of materials that you have used in that part of the process. The PASS quality control module is integrated with the production batch tracking and records all quality tests. It configures each set of quality tests to match the product for the production run.

Production run number

In order to do this is is necessary do create a “Product number” or “Production number” for the production run. Then this number moves from process to process, acquiring the process numbers at each process point. For example when building a mechanical product you will have a mixture of processes. One type will be where you select and convert raw material in to components and others that involve assembly of the components.
