Batch Number Tracking
For effective issue resolution, it is imperative to have a comprehensive tracking and tracing system in place for manufactured products. Utilising batch-tracked components for sub-assemblies susceptible to failures during general usage ensures a targeted approach to addressing such issues.
The identification of each component’s original manufacturer is crucial for traceability. That’s why the use of batch number tracking is essential, which can be alphanumeric designations assigned to products made in the same manufacturing run. Products can be efficiently traced even after they have been distributed and are being used.
