How I reduced mock recall time down to 18 minutes with Unifize

I think Mock Recalls to most people are a requirement. And one of those things that you just have to do and it's sort of a pain.

What Unifize because of the connectivity gave me even now, is something that you have to do it when you're doing a certification audit, for example, and you have a four hour window. It's sort of just part of your compliance and they say, okay, here's a finished good, here's a lot. Now do not pretend that there was a problem and do a Mock Recall and they give you 4 hours.

And in my history at other companies, you're hard pressed to hit that four hour timeline. My audit last year, I think it took us 18 minutes while we were walking around. He said, okay, we're going to do a Mock Recall of that Lot. Well, I scanned that QR code at my team and said, Hey, we're doing the Mock Recall on this while we're walking.

By the time we got back from our tour of the facility and our walk through, the Mock Recall was done and I actually it was done long before and I had the timestamps in there to prove it, which just kind of blew the auditor away of, okay, I see what you guys have. This is amazing. And that was his response.

And although because they had already connected the raw materials, they'd already connected everything about it was already connected just for me scanning that QR code, as I've said. And that traceability allows a Mock Recall to take no time.
