A recall is the loudest way quality fails. It is rarely the first. Most food and beverage manufacturers can say what a recall will cost them only after it happens, and few can prove which lots are not affected when the call comes.
In this provocative field guide, QAD challenges industry leaders to stop treating a recall as the whole problem and start fixing what causes it. Drawing on a first-person recall story, global regulatory pressure, and real recall data, the eBook makes the case that the year after a recall costs more than the recall itself. It introduces five jobs every quality system must run in a loop: Document, Monitor, Contain, Prove, and Improve.
Readers get a 4-hour trace test, an evaluation checklist that works with any ERP, and a 30-day exposure check to bring to the next executive meeting. A challenger piece for manufacturers who would rather find the gap themselves than read about it in a headline.
