Does a recall drill trace the containers too?

Trace a sample lot through product, container, route and cleaning records, then verify its block and location.

Short answer

In the drill, trace a sample lot both ways through product, container and route records. Block linked units digitally, verify physical location and cleaning status, and reconcile later use. Log gaps, owner and decision time.

Finding a lot alone does not show its container and route links.

Sample lot
Linked containers
Route and location
Block status

Trace both ways

Compare product-to-container and container-to-product records. Block units in the system and verify physical location.

Check subsequent use. Reconcile cleaning, return and next-trip records; log gaps with owner and time.

The drill is complete only when the container flow is explained too.
