1. Executive Summary:
To assure the quality of the products we have to use different types of
measurements or numerical mathematics. Sometimes ensuring quality of the
products by numerical mathematics is impossible because this process takes
lengthy time there has much more possibility to make mistake. That is why we use
some statically method, which is called control charts.
When the quality controls have to focus on a quality characteristic hard or
expensive to measure on a numerical scale, the control chart for attributes are a
useful alternative.
Attributes concern quality characteristics which are able to be classified in two
types, conform and not conform to specifications. What is called nonconforming
means that the unit controlled is not conformed to standard on one or more of
examined quality characteristics.
The goal of control charts for variable is still to control mean and variability of a
process but here, we focus of number of nonconforming units or nonconformities
in a population. Three types of charts exist. Their use depends on the production
(which quality characteristic to control, how many to examine), the characteristic
of controls (constant or variable sample size):
 The p-chart: it is a control chart for fraction nonconforming
 The c-chart: it is a control chart for number of defects or nonconformities
 The u-chart: it is a control chart for number of nonconformities per unit
INTRODUCTION
Subject like Pharmacy demands practical knowledge in the own field. Thus
industrial training program is one of the most important parts of a students studying
in a dynamic subject like Pharmacy. For gathering complete knowledge about
pharmacy there is no alternative for In-plant or industrial training program which

WAREHOUSE
Warehouse is the place where materials for the production are stored for further
use and distribution. The Beximco Pharmaceutical Ltd. has a striking warehouse
where raw, packaging and finished products are stored with great care. This
warehouse has three units. They are as followes-
 BPL Warehouse
 BIL Ware-house (Infusion Unit)
 Pharmatek Ware-house

9. There are different segments of the warehouse. They are:
In the Quarantine area raw and packaging materials are preserved for the
approval of the Quality Assurance Department.
In the Released area raw and packaging materials are preserved here with great
safety and care which are approved by the QA. This area is the heart of the ware-
house.
Raw materials, packaging material and finished products that fail to get approval
from the QA are retained with a lot of security in the Rejected area.
In the Finished product area generally finished products are installed here for
distribution in the market.
In the Cold Storage area those products are kept that are heat sensitive and
flammable materials.
The work of warehouse is differentiated into two categories. They are:
 Routine works
 Periodic works
Routine works done by warehouse:
 Arrival of materials: Raw & packaging materials arrive at the factory premises
by different Supplier with two copies of delivery challan & invoice.
 Invoice checking: The concerned authorities of the warehouse verify the
invoice & accordingly they will check whether the shipping mark is logged on the
container or not.
 Physical inspection and receipt/Discrepancy report: After completing the
physical inspection of the raw materials, the materials are received on the basis
of SOP if there is no discrepancy.
 Quarantine storage: Raw and packaging materials are stored in this stage
before the checking by the QC and approval from the QA.

of the raw materials in the sampling booth.
Sampling is done by a sampler that consists of three parts- upper, middle and
bottom. The sampling is done on the basis of FIFO (First in First Out) system. For
active ingredients, every container and for excipient, (Ön+1) containers are
sampled (where n = total number of the containers).
Dispensing areas of Warehouse:
A dispensing officer is responsible all the time for dispensing the raw materials to
the production and packing materials to the packing areas. Following things should
be checked by the dispensing officer in all phases:
 To check that only those materials that are approved have been brought to the
dispensing area.
