A suspect lot, contained in minutes

Material lots, orders, serialised parts, sequenced shipments and the customer's vehicle numbers linked in one path. When a supplier flags a suspect lot, the exact scope to contain comes out in minutes, instead of a blind recall.

Illustrative scenario: it describes a typical case, not a customer project.

A suspect lot, and nobody can say where it went.

The welding-wire supplier warns that a lot may be out of specification. All the information needed to answer exists, but it sits in four systems: the ERP knows when the lot came in, the MES which cells mounted it, logistics what left for the car makers' lines and in which sequence.

Rebuilding the path by hand takes days, and meanwhile the safest choice is to warn the customer about the whole period: a blind recall that involves twice the vehicles needed. With the data linked, the same question has an exact answer.

Who it's for
Quality and supplier quality managers, logistics and customer service towards car makers, whoever writes the 8D reports.
Diagram: the ERP brings incoming lots and production orders, the MES the serial numbers of welded parts with the spool mounted, logistics the sequenced shipments and the customer's vehicle numbers. Muvia produces the path from lot to vehicles, the containment scope, the 8D notebook and a traceability dashboard.

The video · Material lots, orders, serialised parts, sequenced shipments and the customer's vehicle numbers linked in one path. When a supplier flags a suspect lot, the exact scope to contain comes out in minutes, instead of a blind recall.

What you get

The exact scope, not the period
Only vehicles fitted with parts from the lot are flagged, not everything built in those days.
Containment in hours, not days
The question «where did this lot go?» has an answer ready, for any lot.
An 8D with the real numbers
The report to the customer comes from the same data as the scope, with no copying by hand.
A path you reuse
Queries with the lot as a parameter serve the next warning, and the audits.

For the technical team

How it is built in Muvia

  1. 1

    Connect the traceability tables

    Lots, spools, orders, serials, shipments and vehicles come in as sources: databases copied on a schedule or files arriving over SFTP. No schema to design.

  2. 2

    Join the path with queries

    Lab queries link the lot to its spools, the spools to orders and welded parts, the parts to shipments and vehicles, with the lot as a parameter.

  3. 3

    Compute the scope

    A notebook with the lot as a parameter lists shipments, vehicles and dates, and compares the exact scope with a recall over the whole period.

  4. 4

    Write the 8D on the data

    The 8D notebook takes the same numbers: containment, cause, actions. It prints to PDF and is shared with the car maker.

The data it needs
  • Incoming material lots and production orders from the ERP
  • Welded parts with serial number, cell and mounted spool from the MES
  • Sequenced shipments to the car makers' lines
  • Part serial and vehicle number from every shipment
