4.16.5 The company shall have procedures for the transport of products, which shall include:
Does the "transport of product" include trucks used for receiving of raw materials and shipping of finished products?
I am not sure if we need to ask our suppliers to secure the trucks on which raw materials are shipped to us and not sure if our suppliers can meet this requirement as we mostly receive ingredients on less than a truck load including FEDEX shipmetns. Can anyone shed some light on this?
For finished goods, our company owns a truck, which is used to ship finished products to external storage warehouses in town. Our truck is not secured either. Do we need to secure our truck since it is used for in-town delivery only? From the external storage warehouse, products are shipped to different distribution centers across the country. Do we need a control procedure for transport trucks used from warehouse to DCs?
Can anyone guide on how to meet this clause under these conditions?
Thanks,
