1. PURPOSE
To describe the system of
1.1 Issuing batch manufacturing record to all sections of Production department.
1.2 Compilation, review, closure and retention of batch manufacturing record & related record. The system is followed to ensure that each step during batch processing is in compliance with written procedures, GMP & Regulatory Requirements.
2. SCOPE
This procedure is applicable to Batch Manufacturing record (BMR) and related record of all products manufactured and packed in Pharmaceuticals.
3. RESPONSIBILITY
3.1 Production department is responsible for timely raising request for issuance of Batch Manufacturing record on “BMR ISSUANCE REQUEST FORM”.
3.1.1 Production department sends the request form to Quality Assurance department which upon receiving the request issues the new BMR according to detail given by production (e.g. Batch No., Batch Size, Mfg. Date & Exp. Date, Price per unit (e.g. for Ampoule) & price per pack size, and assay of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) if required etc. on the request form.
3.1.2 Production Manager ensures that activity is performed in timely manner and the information provided on “BMR ISSUANCE REQUEST FORM” is correct and complete.
3.2 Quality Control department is responsible for timely testing, releasing and submitting the complete In-process Test Reports to Production department and Finished Goods Report & Microbiological Sterility Testing Report to Q.A department after complete testing of the representative Sample from batch.
3.2.1 QC Manager is responsible that all sample receiving and testing activities are performed accurately and timely.
3.3 Q.A department is responsible for issuance, review and retention of the record.
3.3.1 Q.A officers are responsible for review of the complete batch manufacturing document, verification of the completion status along with information traceability and checking the retention of BMR at regular intervals.

Production Manager is responsible to check that all the process parameters are correctly performed, results recorded, all relevant record forms attached, yields correctly calculated and reason mentioned in case of yield variation from theoretical yield, problem observed in the batch is investigated and recorded, mentioned in the BMR. After Production Manager review, completed BMR and all related records is submitted to Q.A department.
5.1.4 After testing of FG product, Finished Goods Analysis Report is submitted by Q.C to Q.A department after batch is finally released. Q.C Manger is responsible to check that all the tests mentioned in the specifications are performed and results are within specified limits.
