Best Practices Avoid Costly Kitting Errors
Robust process and governing Standard Operating Procedure for Kitting & Co-packing ensures success
BACKGROUND:
Pharmilink has developed and put in place best practices to avoid kitting errors. These ensure our clients do not make costly mistakes. We also have a co-packing module in our system that tracks all of the co-packed items from an inventory standpoint which is unique within the industry.
PROCESS IMPROVEMENT:
- Pharmilink has a robust process and governing SOP for Kitting & Co-packing that involves a Product Matrix document and PMA/PMF process that outlines all sku’s and steps involved.
- This documented process requires approvals at our operation level and at the client level.
- This final approved documentation PMA/PMF resides with the project through all stages of the process providing work instructions and visual aids for the Operations and Quality Assurance teams.
- Multiple quality inspections with verification and controlled/documented release take place at all stages including pre-production/batch pick, in process, finished product, release to inventory and distribution.
