When a waste record looks complete but the investigation is not

Every field is filled in and the record looks complete. Then someone asks what actually happened, and the record cannot answer. In this conversation, Isaac Caruso, a principal solutions engineer at Uncountable, walks through a beverage and starch example where exactly that happens. It is made for the quality, continuous improvement and production teams who own waste investigations.

In this conversation

• Why can a record with every field filled in still leave an investigation stuck?
• What does the beverage and starch example reveal about your own records?
• Which details have to be captured in the moment, and which can wait?
