2.0    SCOPE:

2.1    This procedure is applicable for in-process check activity and failure reported for in-process check during the manufacturing operation at site.

3.0    RESPONSIBILITY:

3.1    Production/IPQA Officer/Executive    : For execution in-process check activity & report any failure of in process check.

3.2     IPQA                    :  Issuance of incident form

3.3    Production/IPQA Shift In-charge     : Evaluation of incident report

3.4     Head Production/QA           : SOP Compliance.

4.0    DEFINITION (S):

4.1    Incident: An occurrence or event that interrupts normal procedure or precipitates a situation and does not provide a result or conclusion.

4.2     In-process Check: Checking and recording the physical parameters of a product at any stage of manufacturing. In-process is a process of monitoring a critical variable of process to ensure the quality of a final product. Which are acceptable in standard range.

4.3    Event: Any divergence / any dis-obeyance from the written approved procedure/ instruction or from laid down quality system or established standard in the organization.

5.0    PROCEDURE:

5.1    Verification of Dispensed Material:
