Customer Testimonials
Nice response to my questions and good suggestions for moving forward.

Some of these sessions are too basic - this one had a good mix of basic and details. The tips are helpful. One comment: a little more discussion regarding the use of Detection in FMEAs would be useful since many do not advocate its use. Thanks,

I especially liked that the Q&A session after the webinar was long enough to not only address my own questions but also to learn from the questions from the other participants in the webinar.

Very thorough understanding of the history/progression of the guidances, and very helpful evaluation of current and potential directions. Excellent presentation skills, very engaging.

Overview: This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all companies that need to develop and implement Product Traceability Systems. including companies in the produce, meat, and processed food fields.

Product Traceability is far more than simply the ability of a manufacturer to trace a product from its source to its ultimate destination. Effective Product Traceability systems give the manufacturer the ability to trace product through all of its processing procedures usually by the use of a lot number. Product traceability systems are generally implemented by a company to provide a window into what happened to the products from Receival to Dispatch. The Product Traceability system can then be used to provide customers with processing data for the compliance to set procedures and policies and in turn to provide the Customer with confidence in the integrity of your products..Product Traceability systems are an invaluable tool in the event that a Product Recall or Product Withdrawal becomes necessary.The ability to quickly identify the source of Raw Materials, locate and review process data and the ability to locate and notify recipients enables rapid recall of suspect products and proper investigation of the root cause of the problem and assignment of responsibility.
