Product Identification & Traceability is a growing and exciting field in the Supply Chain IT organization. In response to regulatory requirements and counterfeiting, J&J Supply Chain is implementing solutions to ensure authentic J&J products are delivered to our patients. The most common method is through serialization, ie assigning a unique serial number to any sellable unit, allowing for the unique identification of each unit in order to perform authentication, provide visibility and full traceability within the supply chain. Several regulatory agencies have issued legislation mandating the serialization of product, eg Turkey, California, China, India, whereas others will follow, eg the EU directive. Given the global needs and J&J's global network for manufacturing and distribution, J&J is implementing an enterprise solution to manage serial numbers and ensure traceability of J&J's products through the supply chain, internal and external manufacturing, distribution and integration with commercial partners/governmental agencies. More and more medical devices will require serial numbers in the future as well. Last but not least J&J is applying serialization as one means to fight illicit trade.
