Quality & regulatory compliance · Contract & CPG manufacturing
Every lot ships with complete records.
No lot ships without its COA, batch record, and test results, each formatted the brand's own way. A missing initial or pending micro result holds finished goods.
The reality
Lot release is a records problem.
The batch record has a missing initial, the micro result is still in LIMS, and the COA template is the wrong brand version. QA chases the line for sign-offs and the lab for results while finished goods sit on hold — and an FDA or brand audit means reassembling all of it under a deadline.
The operator owns the release package end to end. It assembles the batch record, COA, and test results per lot, checks each against the brand's spec and FDA recordkeeping requirements, flags gaps before they become holds, and produces the full traceability package on request.
