Critical Control Points​

Incoming Material (CCP)​

  • CCP records checked by auditors at each receiving inspection
  • Sampling: 3 days per month across at least 5 months
  • Records include: source, lot number, quantity, specification compliance

Production Process​

  • Daily machine handover checks by line supervisor
  • Finished goods quantity verification per LP-2-MD-15
  • Internal FG inspection reports: monthly, with focus on months 1, 7, 10, and 12

Instrument Calibration​

  • Scales, steel rulers, and calipers calibrated on schedule per LP-2-QC-19
  • Annual calibration plan managed by the equipment department

Product Release​

  • QC department sign-off required on product release report before shipment

Non-Conforming Product Procedure​

Workflow​

  1. Defect identified → fill out Quality Abnormality Report (LP-4-QC-05)
  2. Root cause analysis
