Traceability problems with multiple parts in one lot - Textile Mill

We are a textile mill looking to improve are traceability on cuts of cloth without relying on are operators to write each package number on a sheet. Any suggestions

In one cut of cloth we can use up to 15 packages from a case with about 36 packages we try to get the operators to write the Case numbers on a sheet that would show that cut number. We would rather know what the cone number was that went into the cut without counting on the operator to write it down.

Any chance for color coding with stickers or with some type of reusable pins? Maybe pre-printed tags with the lot numbers on them that are stickers and you can place them on after the cuts? I have been through a fabric mill and they had some issues like yours - they seem to write them on and/or use tags with wire holding them to the fabric...

Just a thought. Maybe explain a bit more about the situation. :)

Re: Traceability problems with multiple parts in one lot

In a similar situation (in a contract assembly plant I advised), we printed stock numbers/lot numbers/etc. which identified a particular lot of product in inventory onto peel off stickers (we used Avery label stock on 8-1/2 X 11 paper) with that identity and put them in a transparent plastic envelope with the stock. When a worker pulled stock, he peeled off an identity label and stuck it to the traveler* for permanent traceability. This mistake proofing eliminated dyslexic error and saved time when a worker might be pulling ten or twenty items for a bill of materials to assemble a product.

By traveler* I mean the document which contained all the necessary instructions and forms for a production item to cover each step in its process from the moment an order is entered through the inspection forms, invoices, shipping documents and labels which put it on a carrier for delivery to the customer.
