This is pretty common in industries like this. In the aviation industry, manufacturers record the tension with which each screw is torqued. That kind of fine grained logging is required for maintenance reasons and audited in case of e.g. accidents. Some modern car manufacturers use a similar level of detail in their manufacturing records. Common in both worlds is having very complex supply networks and just in time deliveries for these parts.

I remember reading an account of the Space Shuttle Columbia accident investigation, where it was stated the investigation was hampered by the lack of serial numbers on some components, such as the astronauts' chairs. This made it hard to reconstruct the breakup sequence from the geographical distribution of the debris.
