Quality Assurance of Finished

Warehouse FO

The process of warehousing starts when a consignment enters the premises of ABBOTT and

starts unloading. An actual physical cont is taken first and only then is the consignment allowed

to be fully offloaded. Two separate warehouse facilities exist: one for finished orders and one for

material orders.

While offloading material orders, if any individual packet is found to be damaged or exposed, it

is straight away placed in the Rejection Room which is located separately so that there is no

possibility that it might get mixed and be used up in the production process. Also, there are

certain raw materials which require a temperature range of 2-8°C. In order to ensure that this

temperature range is maintained throughout its long journey, each packet has a temperature seal

attached to it and if, at any point in time during transportation, the temperature exceeds the said

limit, it changes color.
