Warehouse Management

How We Manage Our Warehouse

Our warehouse operations are governed by strict GMP guidelines to ensure the integrity, identity, and quality of all materials stored — from incoming raw materials to finished sterile APIs awaiting dispatch.

1

Controlled Storage Conditions
Dedicated storage zones for ambient (15–25°C), cool (2–8°C), and controlled room temperature materials, with continuous temperature and humidity monitoring logged to a central system.
2

Quarantine and Release Protocol
All incoming materials are placed in dedicated quarantine zones until QC testing is completed and QA approval is given. No material is issued to production without formal release.
3

FEFO Inventory Management
First Expired, First Out (FEFO) inventory management system ensures older materials are always used first, preventing expiry waste and maintaining material quality.
4

Traceability & Documentation
Complete electronic and paper-based traceability for every material lot — from GRN through storage, issuance, and final batch reconciliation.

Raw Material Handling

Raw Material Handling Procedures

Every incoming raw material undergoes a systematic receiving and verification process before being approved for use in sterile API manufacturing:

1

Receiving Inspection
Physical inspection of container condition, label verification, quantity checking, and documentation review against purchase orders and COAs from approved suppliers.
2

Sampling & QC Testing
Representative sampling per approved sampling plans. Samples sent to QC laboratory for identity, purity, and quality testing per approved pharmacopeial or internal specifications.
3

Approved Vendor Control
Only materials from AVL-approved suppliers are accepted. New suppliers undergo a formal qualification process before being added to the approved vendor list.
4

Storage and Issuance
Materials stored in designated areas per storage requirements. Issued to production only against approved dispensing notes with dual verification.
