This document provides an overview of material management in the pharmaceutical industry. It discusses the various types of materials that must be managed, including raw materials, packaging materials, intermediates, finished products, rejected materials, and more. For each material type, it outlines the processes for purchasing, receiving, inspecting, storing, sampling, identifying, and dispatching the materials. Maintaining proper documentation and storage conditions at each stage is emphasized. The overall goal of pharmaceutical material management is to ensure the right quality and quantity of materials are obtained and handled correctly to enable the production of quality finished products.

4. Background
 It is concerned with planning, organizing and
controlling the flow of materials from their
initial purchase through internal operations to
the service point through distribution.
 The aim of pharmaceutical material
management is provide good quality product
with the proper manner that is under the
planning and organization.

5. Aim of Material Management
 To Get-
1. The Right quality
2. Right quantity of supplies
3. At the Right time
4. At the Right place
5. For the Right cost

6. Introduction
 The prime objective of the pharmaceutical manufacturing
operation to produce finished pharmaceutical product from
active, inactive raw material and various packaging material.
 Vendor Selection
 Receiving: (Bill, Invoice, Custom Excise gate pass, COA)
 Quarantine
 Inspection: Cleaned, stacked on non wooden pallet damaged,
abnormality reported to QC.
 Storage: RH, RT, FIFO, FEFO, segregated properly to avoid
mix-up
 Sampling: Coordinate with QCL
 Identification (Label): Status, approved, sampled rejected,
Batch NO, manufacturer’s name
 Dispatch: Finished good to customer, rejected material from
supplier etc.
 Importance:
Quality material Quality finished product
(R.M. P.M)

7. Purchasing
 The purchase of raw materials is an important operation
that should involve staff who have a particular and
thorough knowledge of the products and suppliers.
 Starting materials should be purchased only from
approved suppliers and , where possible, directly from
the producer.
 The quality parameters should also specify
characteristics like, bulk density, particle size amorphous
or crystalline nature of the material, specificity of
isomers.

8. Cont….
 For each consignment, the containers should be checked
for at least integrity of package and seal and for
correspondence between the order, the delivery note, and
the supplier’s labels.
 Damage to containers and any other problem that might
adversely affect the quality of a material should be
recorded and reported to the quality control department
and investigated.
 R.M. and P.M. should only be purchased by buyer who
are trained and possess sufficient technical knowledge.

9. Raw material
 Supplier of the received material should have his name listed in companies
approved vendors list. Such list should available with in receiving
department.
● Approved Vendor: RM is ensured that has come from approved supplier,
list of vendor is available in stores
● Checking:
i) Name of product
ii) Batch No.
iii) MFG. Date EXP Date.
iv) Quantity Received
v) Condition of container
vi) Name of material and supplier
 After receiving of raw material should be check –
i) Name of Supplier.
ii) Name of the Product.
iii) Batch Number.
iv) Mfg. Date & Exp. Date.
v) Quantity Received or No of containers or Packages.
vi) Condition of Container and Material.

10. Cont….
 All containers should be cleaned externally and damage
if any report to Q.C. department . all the received have
proper document such as bills, gate passes, log book
records and COA.
 From the received sample material place in sampling
area with proper label by Q.C person.
 All received material must have identified label status
e.g.
i) Received Sampled.
ii) Approved.
iii) Rejected.
● Material Identification like
i) Product Name.
ii) Batch No.
iii) Code No.
iv) Sterility Status.

11. Cont…
 If one delivery of material is made up of different
batches ,each must be considered as separate for
sampling ,testing and release.
 Material storage room should have properly
labeled and have following information
 Name and internal code number.
 Batch no given by supplier and given by receiver after
analysis and release.
 Status of the contents (e.g. quarantine, on test, released,
rejected, returned, recalled).
 Retest and expiry date of the product.
 Appropriate special storage condition.

12. Cont….
 Only starting materials released by the quality
control department and within their shelf-life
should be used.
 Starting materials should be dispensed only by
designated persons.
 Following a written procedure, to ensure that the
correct materials are accurately weighed or
measured into clean and properly labeled
containers.

13. Cont….
 Each dispensed material and its weight or
volume should be independently checked and
the recorded.
 All the dispensed material have proper label and
record in the log book in chronological order .
The record must have following points.
i) Name of the product and Batch no. for which material
is dispensed.
ii) Time and date of starting material and completion of
dispensing activity.
iii) Name of weigher and checker.

14. Packaging Materials
 It is having four types.
 Primary Packaging Material
Material is direct contact with product
e.g. Bottles, ampoules, vials, foils.
 Secondary Packaging Material
Material which comes contact with primary product.
e.g. Label, carton.
 Printed Packaging Materials
All packaging materials which have any thing printed on
it. Material like labels, cartons, foils.
 Tertiary and other Packaging Material
All other packaging material other than those cover
Primary, Secondary, Printed material.
e.g. Shipper, Box.

15. Cont….

 These are the official reference standards
 Reference standard are prepared by the
producers should be tested released and stored
in the same way official standards
 Stored in secure area
 Accessible by authorised personnel
 Record should be maintained
 It is only used for the purpose described in the
appropriate monograph

28. Cont….
 Secondary reference standard
 Appropriate label
 Name
 Batch, lot number
 Date of preparation
 Shelf life
 Storage condition

29. Miscellaneous materials
 This type of materials do not falls under the
category R.M/P.M
