Lot Trace Workbench
Lot Trace Workbench is a powerful integrated data analysis browse that allows the user to track materials by lot, item number, or serial number, backward and forward through the production process. Included in this tracking functionality is the ability to trace data across multiple levels in the product structure. Not only can specific data be identified and collected through this workbench, but it can then be exported to Excel, where it allows the user the flexibility for further manipulation and custom report formatting.
Companies that have lot-controlled inventory require the capability to have immediate access to current inventory data, as well as to historical data. When a product is returned or recalled, or inquiries are being made, tracing all the raw materials that are used to produce that product is necessary to investigate possible root causes of issues. The Lot Trace Workbench browse allows you to answer the following questions:
• Which material has been used in production?
• From which suppliers were the raw materials purchased?
This browse also allows you to analyze the impact of potential issues:
• What are the current levels of affected inventory?
• Where has this material been used?
• Where have materials been shipped?
With Lot Trace Workbench, you can collect this valuable information and:
• Document and report on affected inventories and materials
• Determine what to do with inventory still on hand, such as inspecting material in quality control, putting inventory in quarantine, scrapping inventory, returning material to the supplier, reworking, and so on
