Quality Unit consists of Quality Assurance and Quality Control. Quality Assurance teams are located according to main responsibilities – close to Production Unit for Operational QA and in the office building for Quality System, compliance and Technical QA.
Quality Control has QC laboratories in two locations. All our laboratories (chemical, microbiological and packaging material lab) are well equipped with modern techniques fulfilling data integrity requirements. They test raw materials, API, finished products and packaging materials. Central Testing Laboratory provides analytical testing services for other manufacturers in the scope of release testing, EU re-testing and stability testing and stability management. QC Lab is certified for Lean Lab management, supported with planning tools and continuous improvement. QC team has also well-developed Analytical Science & Technology team responsible for analytical methods development, transfer and validation. The design of the laboratories is compliant with GMP and HSE requirements.
Warehouse management:
In Strykow we operate two automated warehouses dedicated to: bulk and packaging operations. The first one with a capacity of 7,3 k pallets supports bulk operations and is used for handling and storage of APIs, excipients and bulk manufactured locally prior it is shipped to Packaging Centers. The second one, with 50% bigger capacity (10,7 k pallets), started its operations only in 2015, is dedicated to packaging and used as a distribution warehouse for all products packed in Polish sites. Majority of its capacity is utilized by FDFs, the rest is consumed by primary and secondary packaging materials and bulk (both locally manufactured and imported from other suppliers). The warehouse and packaging operations are equipped with AGVs which ensure fully automated material between both operations. AGVs are also used on the production floor.
