Recall Readiness Checks, Mock Recalls, and Recall Drills

Recalls involve multiple phases and processes. Recalls also demand quick organization, a thorough understanding of recall regulations, and flawless recall logistics. The best way to find out if you are ready for a recall is to put your organization, people, and procedures to the test.

The best way to test your recall plan is to conduct a mock recall. Your employees should regularly participate in a recall simulation that tests their knowledge of the recall process and their responsibilities as part of the recall management team. By regularly testing your recall procedures, you can make modifications to your recall plan to reflect changes in recall regulations, industry standards, or trends in recall communication.

ExpertRECALL offers a Recall Readiness Check to help manufacturers and retailers test their recall plans before a recall happens. The Recall Readiness Check is a customized recall simulation that lets your team experience the planning and execution of a product recall first hand and test their decision-making and logistics processes as the simulation unfolds. Throughout the simulation, ExpertRECALL will work with your team to assess their setup, execution, and reporting readiness.

These custom simulations allow you to evaluate each phase from recall strategy development through execution abilities. After the simulation, ExpertRECALL will provide you with a comprehensive review and gap analysis, including comments on all major and minor observations, gaps in process and internal communication flows, guidance for recall process improvements, and insights into recall best practices as they apply to your organization.

Prepare for the inevitable. It can make the difference between an effective recall and one that might destroy both your brand and your bottom line.
