What is Ingredient Storage & Allocation?

The Pharmaceutical Ingredient Storage & Allocation process involves coordination between vendors, warehouse staff (managers, receiving/unloading staff), quality control employees and manufacturing facilities to accept, check, store and allocate materials used in pharmaceutical production processes. Ingredients are delivered by vendors to company storage facilities, where they are checked by quality control (QC) staff to ensure that they have been received in good order. Once the order has passed the initial quality check, it is sent to the appropriate storage area. From there, materials are allocated to production facilities and/or laboratories based on demand.
