White paper outlines benefits of produce traceability initiative

   RedLine Solutions, a provider of inventory and supply chain traceability systems, has released a new white paper, “Beyond Traceability: The Benefits of the PTI” about the supply chain impacts of the Produce Traceability Initiative.
   Written by one of the primary architects of the PTI, Gary Fleming, the white paper details crucial supply chain and operational efficiencies that companies can gain by implementing the PTI and its ancillary tools.
   “Most companies fail to look beyond the traceability benefits provided by the PTI,” Fleming said.
   Major categories of benefits include those related to using industry standards and those related to operational and supply chain efficiencies. With consistent, accurate, and complete data, as well as tools that allow for better analytics, organizations are better able to identify patterns and proactively address problems.
   The white paper includes data and insights from Fleming’s 24 years in the industry to support and explain each benefit identified, with the ultimate goal of helping companies apply the learnings towards their own organizations. – Eric Johnson
