Outsourced product rework helps keep production lines running by creating a parallel workflow. One workflow remains focused on normal manufacturing, order fulfillment, and customer support. The second workflow handles recall-related activity such as inspection, sorting, relabeling, repackaging, component replacement, kit rebuilding, or redistribution. This separation helps prevent the production floor from becoming a temporary rework center.
This approach is valuable because recall work often involves time-sensitive, labor-intensive tasks that do not require primary production equipment. By moving those tasks to PPS, manufacturers can reduce congestion, keep internal teams focused on current orders, and return corrected inventory to the supply chain more quickly. PPS supports this parallel workflow with controlled work instructions, ERP-supported inventory tracking, lot-code traceability, quality verification, and scalable labor capacity. Learn more.
