An important part of improving the business is to know what the core of the problem is, so-called root cause. When companies detect errors internally or externally on the product, the root cause must be determined to correct it. For manufacturing companies, this step means that details and/or batches should be delimited to certain manufacturing conditions. Can the company make this delimitation and the manufacturing conditions are determined, the root causes can be identified. In order to make this delimitation, traceability is required. The company in this report finds that their traceability does not meet customer requirements or provides the information needed to delineate batches. Therefore, the manufacturing conditions can not be determined and nether the root cause. Attempts made to create traceability have not met the requirements. The purpose of this degree project is to develop a work model that enables traceability based on the company's needs and conditions. Theory is gathered from articles, standards and literature to gain insight into existing knowledge in the field. Based on the theory, what is required to achieve traceability is determined. The current situation of the company is mapped based on interviews and observations and documentation. Based on the overall theory and the mapped current situation, gap analyses are performed to illustrate where the company doesn’t meet the requirements. The analysis results in twelve deficiencies and these deficiencies were analysed to find out what is the underlying problem. In total, six different problems are summarized in a frequency table to demonstrate their impact on the deficiencies. Based on the results of the analysis, a methodology that ensures traceability is compiled. The result was proposals of different nature and scope based on the company's needs. Both theoretical and practical actions was proposed on how the company can achieve traceability.
