Inventory / Quality Control Checker

The Quality Assurance inspector is responsible for validating the quality of inhouse components based on a set of acceptance criteria and using Master standard. QC performs inspection in accordance with ANSI/ASQ/Z1.4 at warehouse facility to help identify quality issues prior to production.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Sampling

a. Sampling of packaging components shall only be performed by properly trained personnel in a clean isolated area.

b. Initiate Form RF030 Incoming Component Inspection Report for component to be inspected, completing first four lines with data obtained from Receiving Document (RD).

c. Establish the number of pieces to sample as follows:

i. From the lot size noted on the RD, use Table 1 to determine the sampling level (Sampling and Inspection Matrix) and record on Form RF030.

ii. Find the sample size code letter on Table 2 (Sample Size Code Letters); record on Form RF030.

iii. Use Table 3 to determine the number of pieces to sample. The quantity of all samples is to be based on "Normal Inspection," unless otherwise stated. Record on Form RF030.

d. Establish the number of containers/boxes/pallets to be sampled using Table 4.

e. Pull the required number of samples from the appropriate case. Randomly select samples.

f. When pulling samples, record any apparent evidence of adulteration or infestations of the component and any foreign material/contamination inside of the case or inside liner. Take pictures if necessary to document damage or contact Supervisor for assistance.

g. Place the samples into the sampling boxes.

h. Close the shipping container and seal with tape. Attached the "Sampled" label to denote that the case/box has been sampled. The "Sampled" label shall denote the following information:

• Date on which the sample was taken
• Container from which the sample was taken
• Component Sampler's initials
• Make a copy of specs on shipper/ pallet

Transfer the samples to the QC area for inspection.

Inspection Process

a. Retrieve Master for the part to be inspected. If a Master has not been supplied by the customer, proceed with inspection except for comparison requirements. Send the required number of samples to the customer with RF002 Component Approval Form for review and approval.

b. Using Table 1, record sampling levels on RF030 for Visual Inspection, Artwork Compliance, Dimensional.

c. Inspect samples using criteria referenced in the appropriate quality requirements for the type of component. RF030 lists the typical defects that will be found. If defects are found that are not contained on RF030, Tables 5, 6, 7 and 8 are available as references for criteria to be inspected for each type of component and the applicable AQL. List in "Other" section of RF030 or record on back of RF030.

d. If any defects are found, use Table 3 to determine "Ac/Re" (accept/reject) based on sample size, sampling level and AQL designated on RF030 and record.

e. Using "Ac/Re" criteria from Table 3 determine whether components can be approved and received into inventory. If the number of pieces failing the criteria is equal to or less than the number indicated for "Ac" then the lot can be accepted. If the number of pieces failing the criteria is equal to or more than the number indicated for "Re" then the lot is rejected.

f. Record number of failures on RF030 in the column labeled "# Failed".

g. If the component is new packaging and is a bottle, jar or tube (i.e. not an aerosol can) determine volume and complete RF028 Component Volume Determination Form.

h. If a component fails any of the sampling criteria, turn in RF030 form (and other documents as required) for review. QF029 Discrepancy Report will be created by Qc Supervisor or designee.

i. Qc supervisor, or designee, will determine acceptability of components and contact customer if appropriate. Components purchased in house will be reported to the Purchasing Manager and dealt with as appropriate.

j. Submit all forms with examples of packaging to Qc Supervisor, or designee, for assessment.

• If component is APPROVED, QC will approve release of shipment to inventory systematically in DEACOM and complete testing test. QC will also print out Approved lot labels and hand approved pallets/ Cases to cover the Quarantine printed text with approval label.
• If component is REJECTED, QC Supervisor will notify appropriate departments and customer to determine disposition.

k. Rejected packaging components shall be stored under a quarantine system to prevent use in the manufacturing process. Rejected componentry will be labeled rejected for identification purposes.

l. QC Inspector will file and maintain all reports in corresponding component file.

m. Packaging components shall be re-inspected after the following conditions occur: 1. After an extended storage period if needed by warehouse to determine if componentry is still good(or after extended exposure to heat or other conditions that may adversely affect the packaging components) and; 2. Upon inspection, there are signs of visible damage or packaging components appear to be defective. Re-inspection is to be performed according to the inspection process described above.
