ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the process of inward goods inspection. The additional responsibilities of the purchasing manager are to approve the invoice for payment and to negotiate with the supplier about rejected goods, goods on hold, or incomplete delivery. The chapter defines packing slip, invoice, test methods manual, and test reports. There are five levels of verification: certificate of conformance, visual inspection, partial inspection, complete inspection of random samples of the product, and inspection during processing at supplier’s facility. The supplier submits at a minimum these documents (as applicable) to enable ABCCL to monitor the environmental aspects of raw materials: process failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), design FMEA, Material Safety Data sheets, labelling and product identification, declaration that no Ozone-Depleting Substances have been used in the production of raw materials, physical and chemical characteristics, test reports, and hazard warnings.
