ABSTRACT:
Multi-Dimensional Traceability (MDT) is a business process that allows food processors to collect and analyze complete information at every step in the production process chain. Unlike basic one-up and one-back traceability, automated MDT allows food processors to work from any stage in the process. This enables food processors to rapidly determine the source of a defective food product with multiple ingredients, and multiple process steps, often involving the mixing and blending of batches, the economical use of scraps, rework, co-products and by-products.
True automated MDT can be characterized as the ability to maintain traceability in four principal dimensions:
- Breadth: amount of information the traceability system records
- Depth: how far upstream, downstream in the supply chain the system tracks
- Precision: degree to which systems can pinpoint a particular product's movement, characteristics
- Access: speed with which track/trace information can be communicated to supply chain members
