Quality Review From Materials to Finished Products

A general representation of how quality activities relate across the production process.
  1. INCOMING MATERIALS

    Incoming materials are reviewed against applicable product and quality requirements before production use.

  2. PRODUCTION MONITORING

    Production stages are monitored according to the applicable manufacturing and process requirements.

  3. FINISHED PRODUCT INSPECTION

    Finished products are reviewed against applicable product requirements before release.

  4. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL TESTING

    Applicable physical and chemical indicators are evaluated according to the product and internal quality requirements.

  5. MICROBIOLOGICAL TESTING

    Applicable microbiological testing forms part of HM's internal quality-control activities.
