Case Study
Background: A Global Sports Brand faced significant challenges with the traceability of raw materials used in their final products. Traceability of raw material is crucial to ensure compliance with legal requirements (no use of banned chemicals) and technical specifications.
Key Activities
We began the project by implementing a system to trace all raw materials back to their source. This was achieved by allocating batch numbers to each raw material order. We then updated the company's ERP system to ensure that batch numbers could be linked to the serial number of each product.
Outcome
As a result of these changes, the client can now clearly identify which products (by serial numbers) are affected in case of recalls. This capability helps the company control costs and ensures compliance with legal requirements.
