10+

This LMS audit checklist helps evaluate storage, receiving, and distribution operations within a manufacturing environment. It covers validation of documentation, staff training to plan requirements, review of corrective actions from previous audits, and detailed procedures for receiving (truck and raw material inspections), storage (FIFO and stock rotation), and distribution (pre-shipment inspections). It also includes guidance for bulk ingredient reception, warehouse GMP practices (cleanliness, allergen controls, shatter-safe bulbs, PPE, no jewelry, sealed doors, and secure chemicals), and certification or special programs such as gluten-free, peanut-free, and organic. References align to BRC sections.
