On occasion it is necessary to remove from use certain raw materials, packaging materials, or finished products due to processing problems or other reasons. Until the disposition is determined of the material is discarded, Quality Assurances places material on hold/blocked stock in SAP and /or attaches a “hold Tag” to prevent material use and notifies those affected by the hold.
Once the material /batch are placed on hold per SOP H740, the area Group Leader or designee transfers the material/batch to the Quarantine Room 28-176 for segregation. Batch/materials are logged into the quarantine room storage log (see blank attached Form I602). At the end of each month, the owner of the quarantine storage room or designee generates and sends a

However, an Material Disposal Order (MDO) could not be issued for those batches / materials because they were not found in SAP, as they were not received in SAP. Per SOP A713 (Merchandise Disposal Orders (MDO) for All Types, Including Controlled Substances and Listed Chemicals), a physical “MDO” is generated by placement of inventory into “Blocked“ and “D” status. This prompts the system to activate the MDO process. According to the aforementioned SOP, GMP Services, Records and PMQA are able to generate the physical MDO for the disposal of obsolete and unusable materials, including DEA - Regulated Materials. This is done by placing the materials/batch in "Blocked" and "D" status in SAP.
During interviews with SMEs and review of related SOPS (I602 and A713), it was suggested that although SOP I602 was generated to assure better management of the Quarantine Room, this observation is most likely due to lack of communication and/or understanding of the responsibilities of different parties due to lack of standardization of the process. In addition to batch/materials on "QA Hold" not found in SAP or staged outside of the Quarantine Room, the storage log (Form I602) was found to be not up-to-date or not reflecting the current inventory inside the Manufacturing Quarantine Storage Room

The Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005 forbids the mixing of different types of hazardous waste (medication, needles and gloves), and the mixing of hazardous waste with non-hazardous waste in health care settings. This means that health care settings will need at least two containers, one for ‘hazardous waste and one for ‘Non-hazardous. It’s classed an offence if health care settings don’t follow the rules when getting rid of hazardous waste. This regulation also states that when people don’t need their medication they should be returning it them the pharmacy instead of disposing them in the bin.
I met with Dr. Slack Tuesday regarding the SRCL inventory that has to be kept post SRCL. Because materials were purchased with federal funds inventory must be kept up to 5 years. She did tell me that possibly a check would happen within the first 3 years after the end of the grant. At this point I think we have a couple of options and I will defer to your suggestions:
dispose properly of leftover drugs which can be hazardous to the environment and not allowing
The ICH Q7A, Good Manufacturing Practice Guide for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), outlines the standards for the facility, utilities and equipment necessary to support a good manufacturing operation. This guide describes aspects related to all operations of receipt of materials, production, packaging, repackaging, labeling, relabeling, quality control, release,
A violent epidemic rapidly spreading across the world, the AIDS virus has forced doctors and healthcare professionals alike to take extensive measures when handling anything possibly contaminated. Furthermore, the Halsey Health Products line of sharps disposal containers are a necessity for hospitals across the country making up an annual market demand of 109 million containers sold. Dealing with such a potentially dangerous threat of infection the strength and reliability of sharps containers must surpass any federal standards and should be able to withstand all conditions. In addition, the integrity of this product is a key factor for the Halsey Corporation as it comprises a significant share of the targeted $900 million in sales.

I want to review that the information you are reading in this (SCG) 03-035.2 does not conflict with the Security Classification Guidance (SCG) 03-035.4 "INVENTORY MANAGEMENT DATA, CONVENTIONAL NAVAL ORDNANCE (EXCEPT CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL AND RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TRAINING & EVALUATION (RDT&E) DOLLAR AMOUNTS" or NAVSUP P-724 (CONVENTIONAL ORDNANCE STOCKPILE MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES). It is USFF's responsibility that all our units have the latest and greatest information since we often review and re-write all instructions as well as set policies for the Fleet.
I was involved in the retrograde of the Afghanistan theatre of operation and bringing all the outlying FOBs, COPs, and airfields excess material and storage to Bagram in order to sort out stockpiles of part yards and mysterious containers seemingly never opened before. Once sorted it was intention to place the materials back into the supply systems. At one point we had a SSA filled with 40 foot containers, Tricons, and ISU 90s. A literal city of containers. Units had stockpiles of UH-60A/L/M, CH-47F, and OH-58D engines. Some of these had been yellow tagged since 2006. There was stores and stores of rotor blades, vidmar storage containers with every nut, bolt screw and tool, contained chock full of building materials and gym equipment. All brand new. All waiting to be used. Much of which would be going to DRMO as material FOI (found on

In addition to these options, there are some policy change proposals which try to make POM approach better, like periodic audits and increasing reporting activity levels, stopping trunk stock activities etc. Since these policy changes can be applied at different warehousing functions these proposals will be analyzed one by one and their possible effects will be considered.

Quality is defined as conformance to the requirement, not goodness: The first absolute explains that management must strive to ensure that during the quality improvement process everyone is getting things done right the first time. Crosby stated that in other to do this management must state clearly what are the individual roles of the employee, management must also supply the employees with the resources needed to do their task and lastly management must give continuous support and encouragement to the employees during the improvement process. When quality is defined as conformance to requirement it helps to reduce hassle and improve quality at the same time. Crosby (1995).
