Dear all!
There exist an issue since long between our QA and Material Management department about lead time for microbiology. QA department ask at least 3 days for taking decision of approval or disapproval of received product. On the other side, MM department argues that what would happen if QA reject a lot after 3 days. Most of the supplier (especially those who are providing a small quantity of material) are not willing to deal in such situations.
I know, Supplier Pre-Approval is one of the solution, and supplier aggrement to handle such situation is another solution, but unfortunately these are not feasible in case of small-quantity suppliers.
Do somebody have some other good suggestions to solve this problem . I am not a food technologist or microbiologist, therefore I want to know whether QA department is justified to ask at-least 3-days lead time for microbilology. How much maximum lead time is required for chemical testing of common raw materials. Do some body have a list / document of lead time required for microbilogical and chemical testing.
Advance thanks!
Regards:
M.Zeeshan.
