Stable production begins with the raw material warehouse. The batch number, storage conditions, and order of use of the silicone compound can affect its hardness, color, and consistency in mass production.
1. Batch Identifier
The warehouse must ensure that every roll or drum of raw material is traceable.
- Label the batch number of incoming materials
- Retain Inspection Status
- Link Production Material Withdrawal Records
2. Environmental Control
Temperature, contamination, and mixing with other materials can all affect the use of raw materials.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from light
- Color-Coded Zones
- Keep away from oils and solvents
3. First-In, First-Out
Picking up materials on schedule can reduce the risk of delays.
- Set Up Maturity Alerts
- Give priority to using ingredients nearing their expiration date
- Isolation of Non-Conforming Batches
4. Post-Launch Review
Double-check the formula and status before picking up the materials.
- Check the packaging for integrity
- Check Color and Hardness
- Record Return of Excess Material to Inventory
FAQ
1. Can expired ingredients still be used?
Re-inspection should be conducted in accordance with corporate standards to confirm compliance; the product should not be put into mass production without prior evaluation.
2. Can different batches be mixed?
This should be evaluated based on product requirements; for appearance and critical seals, it is recommended to ensure batch consistency.
