Enhanced Supply Chain Visibility through Traceability 4.0

Micro-credential

Traceability is the ability to identify, track and trace elements of a product as it moves along the supply chain, with an increasing need to minimise product loss by leveraging Industry 4.0 processes. Through use of the traceability work cell, learners will gain the ability to understand and implement traceability in the workplace and gain an understanding of the four key components that make up traceability – Mark, Verify, Read, Communicate.

Upon completion of this micro-credential, learners will be able to:

  • understand what traceability is, including how to use the inputs to achieve and maximise outputs
  • understand the principles of supply chain traceability and the applicable legislative obligations nationally and internationally (International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and GS1 standards)
  • develop and implement a supply chain traceability strategy
  • apply Industry 4.0 processes including data analytics, databasing and Internet of Things (IoT) in data collection and documentation to support supply chain traceability
  • understand risks and apply cybersecurity measures for traceability data protection
