Main purpose of visit is an overview of IPR Manufacture/ Repair system and physically checks goods in store and trace back through their computer system.





Goods in/out Store Area:-When good arrives at store it’s entered on B1 system by store person. B1 is an Oracle base system. A good receipt reference number automatically generated by computer, then box with all related documents put on rack for inspection. If there is a problem with product then PNC raised by inspection team and goods stored in quarantine area. If there is no problem with product then further details entered on B1 system for e.g. purchase order number, requirements notes, ITR ref. number etc. then box put on rack for Documents Control Centre team (DCC) to enter part no, Project number, End user details, Export licence details etc. and then again box put on shelves.
