FSMS Receiving Inspection Procedure

The FSMS Receiving Inspection Procedure outlines the steps for the receiving and inspection of materials, components, parts, finished goods, etc. and the stocking of these items or the disposition of rejected items. The procedure applies to the receipt of all inventory items. (8 pages, 1140 words)

Receiving should visually examine all incoming shipments for apparent package damage promptly. If the shipment has apparent damage, Receiving should notify the Food Safety Team Leader immediately. The Food Safety Team Leader should decide to either accept or reject the shipment from the carrier. Damaged incoming shipments should cause a nonconformity report to be issued.

Receiving should inspect the shipment for conformance to specific inspection requirements listed on the PO and for conformance to company requirements. If different materials are included in the shipment, each will be segregated and inspected accordingly.
