The recall question comes, and the trace runs through one person.
Lot traceability lives across production schedules, spreadsheets and the person who built them. The answer exists. Getting to it before the window closes is the problem.
Trace one lot end to end
2 to 4 weeks following a single lot from receiving through production to the customer, using the records you keep today.
Build it into the systems you run
Traceability and yield reporting go into your production and inventory systems.
Add engineers you do not have to hire
Most food and beverage operators run a two or three person IT team that already owns the plant floor systems. We bring engineers who have shipped in production scheduling and traceability.
The answer is in a spreadsheet and one person’s memory.
You can reconstruct a lot. It takes hours, it needs the person who built the workbook, and the regulator’s window does not move.

Answered ✓The same answer whoever is working that day
We trace one lot, then build the first piece.
An engineer works through a real lot with your production and quality leads. We pick the gap that costs the most under a recall, build it into the systems you already run, and stay after launch, because month two is when the real exceptions show up.
Lot traceability
Receiving, production, packaging and shipment tied together so one query answers the question.
Production scheduling across plants
The changeovers and short runs your schedulers currently balance by hand.
Yield and give-away
Where the material goes that never reaches a case, measured from the systems that already record it.
Engineers who stay past launch
The same engineers through month two and three, when the lots that do not fit the model start showing up.
Two results with the record attached.
Neither client is a food plant. Both produced a written trail of what was tested and what it proved, which is the record a recall question asks for.
Your quality lead already knows where the trace breaks.
We bring engineers who have shipped in production and quality systems, and they work in the tools you run.
Nobody agrees on what to build first.
More candidates than you can fund. 2 to 4 weeks on one problem, ending in an order of work and a first piece scoped.
Questions about food and beverage work
Can you work in our ERP and plant systems?
Yes. The build goes through the systems you already run, and the engineers work in your repo and your review process. If the platform blocks the change, that comes out in the first read.
The trace lives in a spreadsheet and one person’s memory. Where do you start?
With one lot, end to end. We follow it through every system and every hand it passes through, then build the piece that closes the widest gap.
We have a two or three person IT team. Who manages your engineers?
Perform manages them on our side. You get the names, the start dates, and the person accountable for them, and they sit in your standup.
