Why Should You Use Serial Numbers?
When products are serialized, each item is assigned its own unique number that can differentiate it from the rest of your inventory. Using serial numbers helps track warranties, trace items, and confirm ownership. Items that use serial numbers are typically more expensive products, such as appliances, electronics, automobiles, and jewelry.

Using Serial Numbers for Process Improvement
Process improvement is the practice of continuously advancing the production of your products. Serial numbers can improve your processes by allowing your company to find defective products, or products in need of repair. Once a faulty product is found, you can determine the cause of the defect, and make the appropriate process changes to prevent defects from reoccurring. Process improvements are directly linked to enhancing your organization’s quality control and the need to maintain the quality of your product, to meet your customers’ expectations.
