Download Production Procedure

Description

As one of the non-mandatory documents under ISO 9001, the manufacturing procedure establishes a formal approach to planning, executing, supervising, and controlling production activities to ensure that products comply with specified requirements. The process commences with developing a production plan derived from confirmed customer orders and resource availability. Materials are issued from the warehouse using the approved materials bill. Production operations are carried out by authorized personnel in compliance with documented work instructions. Supervisors and quality assurance personnel perform continuous oversight to verify adherence to defined specifications. Upon completion, products undergo final inspection, and only those meeting all quality criteria are transferred to finished goods inventory. All production records are maintained to ensure traceability and support continuous improvement initiatives.
