Receiving materials

Direct control over product quality begins when the starting materials first arrive

at the inward goods receiving bay.

There are a number of GMP controls that need to be put in place when goods
arrive into the receiving store, which include:

Separating receiving areas from storage areas.

Protecting receiving bays from the weather.

Checking that the identification is exactly the same on the container as it is
on the paperwork.

Examining each container and verifying that containers are sealed,
undamaged, and dean.

Raising a non-conformance notice before accepting the material if any

problems arise.

Rejecting raw materials when the contents are exposed.

Identifying products needing special storage (e.g. narcotics, temperature-
sensitive products) and dealing with them immediately.

APPROVING SUPPLIERS

Pharmaceutical companies are required to maintain an approved supplier list,
and starting materials may only be purchased from supplies on this list. When
the shipment and paperwork arrive off the delivery truck, the receiving person

should check that the supplier is on the approved list. Shipment from non-
approved suppliers must be set aside and notified to supervision immediately.

Some of the factors that contribute to a supplier being approved are:

completion of a supplier questionnaire
