• A lot-trace exercise tests a company’s ability to either forward trace a component from receipt to finished product or backward trace a component of a finished product back to the supplier. This exercise tests a company’s record keeping procedures and systems as well as the internal tracking systems for components and finished goods.
  • A Recall Simulation includes all aspects of a “real” recall situation, and it tests people, processes and systems. One of the most important parts of a Recall Simulation is it puts the team in a situation which allows it to proactively practice its recall process and see how well it follows its plan. RQA will engage the team in complex and emotionally charged activities, such as initial issue investigation with limited information, decision making as a team of unique individuals, lot-trace exercise and root cause analysis, while sifting through an over-abundance of information and records, all under extreme time pressures.
