Traceability provides product visibility throughout the automotive supply chain, helping organizations identify products by location and product/process characteristic while assisting in streamlining product callbacks, containment, and inventory management. OEMs and suppliers have implemented numerous product traceability solutions – but until now, there hasn’t been a guideline that outlines the standardized best practices endorsed by the automotive industry. That’s where AIAG’s new Traceability Guideline comes in.

Now available for purchase at the AIAG Store, our Traceability Guideline document provides guidance to meeting IATF 16949 traceability requirements, presents traceability methods and technologies relevant to the automotive industry, includes both best practices and “bad practices,” and concludes with a self-assessment and traceability “fire drill” forms to guide those who are creating or evaluating their organizations’ traceability systems.
