FAQs

Quality control audits should be conducted on a regular basis, typically monthly or quarterly, with additional audits performed for new product lines or significant changes in production processes.

Key areas include raw material testing and verification, in-process quality checks, final product testing, packaging and labeling accuracy, quality control documentation, and traceability systems.

The audit team should include quality assurance managers, production supervisors, laboratory technicians, and representatives from research and development departments.

The checklist helps identify deviations from quality standards, inefficiencies in production processes, and areas for improvement in quality control procedures, allowing for targeted enhancements to ensure consistent product quality.

Documentation to be reviewed includes batch records, analytical test results, calibration records for testing equipment, standard operating procedures (SOPs), product specifications, and customer complaint logs.
