Track and Trace Capacities Drive Manufacturing Efficiency in Multiple Industry Segments

Logo

Cupertino, CA -- (SBWire) -- 01/20/2015 --Forecast Errors newsletter reported that Chuck Fuerst shared the need for track and trace capabilities in industries such as food and beverage, manufacturing or automotive industries is obvious; the threat of contamination or recalls impacts public safety, and the responses to those events are highly regulated.

Organizations need to know what goes into their products and their location at all times. But increasingly, companies in other industries are taking a fresh look at the need for advanced tracking and tracing capabilities that are critical throughout the order process and can drive efficiencies the entire way through, from picking to returns.

Forecast Errors, a weekly e-newsletter, shares methods, modes, and tools used in a variety of supply chain industries. The newsletter explores forecast errors as the difference between the actual and predicted value. In the current issue, Forecast Errors argued that what separates best-in-class companies from those that struggle with accuracy is how they root out (and learn from) forecasting errors.

A forecast error is the difference between the actual and predicted value. The consequences are expensive inefficiencies that can be resolved with lean manufacturing technology.
