From a nonconformity to the scope of the problem.

The problem

In automotive manufacturing, a nonconformity requires understanding which other products might be affected by the same cause.

Understanding the process

Reconstruction follows materials, stages, machines, parameters and anomalies. Steps that prevent reliable traceability are identified and standardised.

The solution

Product identification using QR codes where possible, or coded containers. Certificates and documents are linked to production history. Reverse navigation identifies parts or batches sharing raw materials, rework or a machine event.

Operational value

The process helps narrow down the potentially affected scope and provide evidence, instead of treating all production as equally suspect.

The evolution

Standardising untraceable steps strengthens continuity of product genealogy.

Application and scope

Reconstruction depends on the quality and completeness of the data collected throughout the process.
