Quality Systems International (QSI) has introduced the WinLims stock control module, which allows a stock record to be created for each consumable item used during an analysis procedure. The stock record includes the suppliers' details, a description of the consumable item, opening stock figures, re-order levels, re-order amounts, shelf life as well as the cost per item or amount. With each receipt of stock the suppliers' batch details are recorded including the cost per item, date it was receipted as well as the quantity for each specific shipment.
The new stock control solution also enables traceability of the consumables used to be associated with the analysis samples being processed. The system will not allow any consumables outside of their shelf life to be assigned to a method. The quality loop is effectively completed by being able to show for each sample tested, that the methods have been performed correctly and the consumables used, were in specification and within their shelf life.
