IPQC/QA ( IN PROCESS QUALITY CONTROL )

1. Pre-Production Checks Before starting production, IPQC must verify the following: • Line clearance is completed and approved. • No previous product or packaging material is present on the line. • Machines, conveyors, and contact parts are properly cleaned and sanitised. • Workers are wearing proper PPE (hairnet, gloves, mask, apron). • Correct SKU packaging material (bottles, caps, labels, cartons) is available. • The batch coding machine is working properly. • Area cleanliness and housekeeping are satisfactory. 2. Raw Honey Quality Checks IPQC should verify the following parameters before filling: • Colour and appearance are as per specification. • Taste and odour are normal. • No foreign particles or contamination present. • Honey temperature is suitable for filling. 3. In-Process Quality Checks (During Production) These checks should be performed at regular intervals (every 30 minutes or 1 hour). • Net weight/fill volume of bottles. • Cap fitment and sealing (torque check if required). • Leakage test of filled bottles. • Bottle condition (no cracks, dents, or damage). • Label alignment and proper application. • Batch coding, MRP, and manufacturing date are clearly printed. • Visual inspection for foreign particles. 4. Packaging Material Inspection IPQC must inspect packaging materials such as: • PET bottles are free from scratches, cracks, or deformation. • Caps are properly fitting and defect-free. • Labels have correct artwork and clear printing. • Cartons are in good condition and properly printed. • Barcode and product information are readable. 5. Rejection Control If any defect is observed: • Defective bottles should be immediately segregated. • Rejection quantity should be recorded. • The production team should be informed immediately. • If a major issue is observed, the material should be put on hold for investigation. 6. Documentation IPQC must maintain proper records, such as: • In-process inspection sheet • Weight verification record • Rejection report • Line clearance checklist • Batch Production Record (BPR) 7. Common Defects in Honey Filling: • Loose cap • Bottle leakage • Label misalignment • Underweight or overweight bottles • Bottle damage or deformationTop of Form • Wrong coding printing Bottom of Form Job Types: Full-time, Permanent Pay: ₹18,000.00 - ₹22,000.00 per month Benefits: • Leave encashment • Paid sick time • Paid time off • Provident Fund Work Location: In person
