Text summary of this animation (6 steps)
- Start from the lot. Quality starts mock recall MR-03 from ingredient lot RW-228. Lot RW-231 from the same supplier is not involved.
- Into batches. The genealogy shows RW-228 was used in two batches: WO-6101 and WO-6114.
- Into finished lots. Those batches made finished lots FG-6101 and FG-6114.
- Out to customers. Shipments of those lots went to three customers. Batches made from RW-231 stay grey: they are not in scope.
- What is still here. 40 cases of FG-6114 are still on hand and listed so a person can place them on hold.
- Report to review. One report gathers scope, shipments and stock on hand for your team to review, sign and act on.
Worked example. Scope comes from the lot genealogy recorded as work happened, so it is only as complete as those records. Stock still on hand is listed so a person can place it on hold, as your set-up allows. V5 does not contact customers or carry out a recall; your team decides the response. The report is reviewed and signed by the people responsible; electronic signatures are Professional and Enterprise.
