Quality Assurance
FMI promotes and supports a quality program that ensures consistent overall results among customers, suppliers and shippers.
- Lot Number Control System
- Raw Material Standards & Inspection
- Finished Product Mix and Packaging
- Laboratory
- Initiated process for FDA Registration
All materials are
controlled and tracked through the computer system by individual lot number.
This begins with raw material receiving through finished product shipping
and provides complete trace-ability of production.
Raw Material Standards & Inspection
All raw materials must have
a specification and target acceptable range that is documented through
writing, digital photograph and/or physical sample. This ensures that
any supplier issues are discovered and dealt with before materials leave
our receiving dock.
Finished Product Mix and Packaging
The same inspection procedures
apply at the mix and filling stages. Samples are retained by lot number
and also submitted to the customer for approvals for each new product
start-up or as requested. No lot number may be released for the next production
phase unless cleared by Quality Assurance as noted in the computer.
Laboratory
FMI maintains an 1,800 square
foot laboratory that includes a range of analytical instruments including
a gas chromatograph. It is run by an FMI principal with 20+ years of Procter
& Gamble experience.
FMI is an FDA registered facility for OTC manufacturing.
