Re: What is the use of bar code ?
Welcome to the Cove!
I'm not sure I totally understand your question. I assume that you ship automotive parts in containers. You are asking what is the potential harm if the bar code is not on the package?
As far as any potential effects, I would suggest it depends on how much the bar code is used in the Supply Chain. Is it used for shipping/billing? How many Supply Chain decisions are based on the bar code scans?
Is your query related to no bar code, bar code that cannot be read, or possible misread of the bar code?
I know with FDA, the risk is pretty high, as all product has to be traceable. Not sure if that is the same with automotive.
