One of the first critical steps in better managing quality across your supply chain is defining and establishing your process for capturing and tracking quality issues. And since no two food supply chains are the same, you need a process that works best for your food company. Here are some examples of commonly used workflows to use as reference when determining the best process for your supply chain. Once you've determined your flows, visit Configuring Incident Flows for more information.
