Following procedures related to Warehouse & Preservation of Product process have been reviewed:
1) Receiving procedure
2) Identification and traceability procedure
3) Product audit procedure
4) Shipping procedure
Receiving:
For receiving items from outside, warehouse will conduct an incoming quantity check by either actual count or weight & calculation. WLS will inform QCS for incoming items needed to quality inspection. 2.5% AQL sampling is the standard mean for quality inspection. Yellow tag will be used for “Hold for Inspection”. Once QCS approves the quality, WLS then can move the items to designated area.
For receiving items from production, WLS needs to confirm quantity of finished goods, defect parts (machining and/or raw material), and rework parts along with finished work order. Defective parts will be separately put on red cart.
Identification and traceability:
Finished goods and WIP can be traced back all the way to raw material, operators, and production date by referring to label attached to container or work order. Parts shipped to customers can be tracked back by packing list, ship date, and label on container.
Product audit:
WLS will conduct a product audit on finished goods before shipping to customers: package condition, label, traceability, appearance, and quantity.
Shipping:
Dock audit is performed to ensure that parts and packaging are correct before ship out. Parts will be FIFO to prevent old lot being kept in the warehouse.
