New e-Learning tools for traceability and produce identification
United Fresh, along with the Canadian Produce Marketing Association, Produce Marketing Association, GS1 Canada and GS1 US, have launched two e-Learning modules designed to assist produce industry stakeholders to learn how to identify their products along the supply chain and implement traceability processes for their businesses.
The modules are developed for all industry participants to gain foundational knowledge and can be used as training tools for new employees or as a refresher for industry veterans seeking a clearer understanding of these key concepts for their day-to-day operations, according to a release from the company. Improving supply chain efficiencies from the field to the consumer helps ensure that the right product gets to the right place at the right time.
“The Produce Traceability Initiative has a laser focus on case level traceability to ensure the industry is enabled to accurately and quickly identify where specific cases of product are in the supply chain,” said Dan Vaché , United’s vice president, supply chain management. “These two new learning modules provide an easy way to understand the different levels of collecting product data and help avoid confusion between tracking at the pallet level, case level, and item level. They are an excellent introduction to for those wanting to learn the basic concepts of traceability and a great way for those wanting to revisit the basics in a clear and concise manner.”
The modules are available in English and French and can be accessed online via the links below:
