Hi,can any offer some advice on a thorny issue regarding final inspection and booking product into Finished Goods warehouse?
We produce various cleanroom contamination products ( liquid based in this instance) in cleanroom conditions. Once our product has been made it is packed into boxes ( typically 8 bottles to a box. These boxes are then put onto pallets, possibly as many as 80 on one pallet.
The pallets are then sent for irradiation, where the pallets remain intact and are not broken down at all.
Product arrives back at our factory, where we perform a sampling plan to determine that the detex label has changed colour to positively confirm that irradaition has occured.
Paperwork is then completed and product should be booked into finished goods, however..............
Various auditors have made the point that each box should have a QC status identifier. In this case a stamped message "QC Approved".
This causes us a real bottle neck in booking product in due to the shear volume of product returning from irradiation. Not only that, but I see it as a totally none added value task.
Any comments / help
