Tracking products to be recalled to find the product serial number of a defective product and the faulty parts or process that caused the defect. Data is collected by tracing selected parts (TP) and stored in databases. A trace engine consults the process definition DB to identify a process in which the faulty parts were used, the TP history DB to determine the transit time at which the TP used in the product in question passed through the process, the process control DB to identify the TP-IDs of the other TP that passed through the process in the same time frame as the transit time determined, and the TP history DB to determine the serial numbers of all products using the TP.
