Hi All,
Physical Samples management is the functionality normally used in Process industries like
Pharma/Food/Chemical etc.
Primary samples are taken directly from the population or inspection lot.
Reserve samples are primary samples that are reserved as specimen samples.
Number of samples to be taken for above three types samples is calculated by sample drawing
Procedure.
Scenario : Lets say I received a material from a vendor 100 L material supplied in two
containers each 50 L.Now I have to check this material . so I need to take samples from each
container lets say I take 1 L from each container. so my primary samples will become two
(each 1 L) as I take sample from each container. Primary samples are the ones directly taken
from inspection lot qty. Now the above two primary samples are mixed to make a pooled
sample. In my example it will become 1+1 = 2 L. Pooled samples are created by mixing
primary samples. these pooled sample is used for analysis. Reserve samples are taken from
lot directly and not used for immediate analysis. they are stored for future reference as per
regulatory norms. Normally they are destroyed once the expiry of the material is reached. in
our case let say 0.25 L taken separately and stored.
Process Flow :
Define primary samples, pooled samples and Reserve samples as shown below in the three
different tab…
Finally save the sample drawing Procedure.
Assign the inspection points (200) & Sample Drawing Procedure in the Inspection Plan header –
QP02
During creation of Inspection plan assign the inspection points (200) & Sample Drawing Procedure in
the header as shown below
Complete the creation of inspection plan.
During saving of the inspection lot physical samples will get created as per the Sample
drawing procedure assigned in the inspection plan. Check for the same in QA02/QA03.
Thanks
