Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.

Product recall and food recall procedures deal with how to withdraw defective products from distribution networks. Timely and effective response to potential recall scenarios is essential to ensure a successful product recall. In Australia, the food recall process is governed by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and the protocol to follow during a recall is set out in the Food Industry Recall Protocol document. Organisations involved in the product and food manufacturing and distribution chains need to understand their responsibilities and to ensure that they have a recall plan that complies with the current protocols. The project will involve the investigation of how a sophisticated business process automation solution such as the YAWL framework can support some of these requirements from product recall domain, namely compliance with protocols, timely reporting, and traceability.
