ITPEC IP April 2026 Question 86
Which of the following is an appropriate case example that corresponds to traceability?
Explanation
Checking a product's history from production to sales through its label — the case of traceability.
Traceability is the ability to follow a product's history — where it was produced, how it was processed and distributed and where it was sold — by an identifier attached to it, such as a label, lot number or barcode. For meat and fish it lets a problem be traced back to its source and the affected lots be recalled.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- •(a) — using the Internet and Web technology for computer-based education is e-learning
- •(b) — outsourcing all development to an external specialized company with no in-house development department is outsourcing, not traceability
- •(c) — sharing and using employees' knowledge across the organization to improve performance is knowledge management
Key rule: Traceability means tracing a product's production and distribution history through an identifier that travels with the product.
