Research topic 169 / 200
Products are difficult to track after use
Recycling, reuse and repair records lack a common product identifier.
Three-step solution method
- Map the equipment identity, condition and handover responsibilities that need to be recorded.
- Establish identification and record fields that span the use lifecycle.
- Test record completeness and traceability through multiple handoff tasks.
Key Deliverables
- Lifecycle information map
- Device identification
- Handoff fields
Verification Approach
Check for missing records, identity confusion, and lookup ease.
