Component Traceability

---

Tracking all vendor-supplied and internally produced parts and components that go into an End Item can be an impossible, inaccurate, and labor-consuming process if done manually. This is why an automated traceability system is critical - not only for quality control, but for real-time monitoring of machine and operational efficiencies, and operator accountability too. 

The SPEDE Component Traceability solution creates detailed traceability records automatically via scanning transactions. Serialized internal labels can be printed on-demand, which enables serialized WIP units to be uniquely traced back to purchased and internally-produced components, forward through each operation, and on to shipping of the final end item. Serial numbers of individual parts and/or lots are recorded with each transaction, and are linked to container serial numbers of shipped finished product.

You can use a Handheld or Vehicle Mount Scanner to:

     1. Create a SPEDE Bill of Material -

• By WIP or Finished Goods part number   
• List of components and purchased items per part
• List of produced parts and components used at each operation
• Quantity used per operation
• SPEDE verifies correct parts are used at each operation

     2. Receive Raw / Purchased Components

• Use vendor supplied labels 
• Optionally print SPEDE labels by unit of measure issued 
• Non-serialized components track by Lot 
• Serialized components track by Each

      3. Issue Components to Line /Operation

• Part Number /Line / Operation validation
• Single/ Multi-part lines
• Issue to Run
• Issue to Date/ Time
• Scan component attributes - part number, vendor lot, etc.
• Component part is validated to Bill of Material / Line 

   4. Optional Return to Stock

• Return to Stock unused quantities
• Unused
• To be reissued
• Use prior serial number or generate new 

     5. Tracking Components 

• SPEDE stores finished part Bill of Material 
• Lot codes enter per component 
• Component lots are tied to container serial number
• Inquire by component part/ lot to see containers
• Inquire by container serial number to see component lots
