Product Recall: No Traceability vs Traceability

Product Traceability Impact Simulator

A single defect enters a production network in both panels. The left side has no lot traceability, so recall scope explodes. The right side isolates only traced batches and contains the blast radius.

Defect demo

Traceability contains the defect recall.

Both panels are aligned to the same defect path. Watch the demo unfold until callback scope and cost split the outcome.

Full recall vs Targeted recall

Traceability cuts the blast radius by isolating only the affected batches instead of sweeping the entire network.

Saved with traceability

USD 0

Awaiting detection. Both panels are still sharing the same defect build-up.

Difference between full recall cost and targeted recall cost, using the current average batch price for each recalled lot.

Targeted recall becomes visible only after detection: only defect-linked batch lineage turns grey while clean lots remain blue.

Avg batch priceUSD 8,000

Average cost assigned to each recalled batch lot when the simulation compares full recall against targeted recall.

Network size

Changes how many process and batch nodes exist in the network, which changes how wide the callback can spread.

No Traceability

No lot traceability means the callback spreads across every batch layer once a defect is confirmed.

With Traceability

Lot lineage isolates the affected path and keeps clean batches out of the callback.
