Incoming raw materials are received jointly by the laboratory, who make an initial visual
inspection ensure that the correct size and/or type of item have been delivered, and the
production staff who will ensure that the quantity stated is correct by using weighbridge.
Weighbridge ticket will be generated and the delivery ticket will be signed by each
department representative indicating acceptance of the material. Once the material has
been off-loaded, the signed delivery ticket will be turned into the gate guard and
forwarded to accounts for processing on a daily basis. All laboratory/technical and
production staff are authorized to inspect and sign for incoming material.

Though they are not subject to deterioration, aggregates of different sizes are stored in
separate bins to avoid contamination.

Admixtures are stored in special tanks and are used on a first in first out basis. Any stock
stored for longer than six months shall be disposed by the Asst. Manager - Production, as
shelf life is six months.

Colouring pigments are delivered in bags and are stored on pallets and covered by
tarpaulin for protection from moisture or rain. In the unlikely event of any stock stored
for longer than two years, it shall be disposed of by Asst. Manager - Production, as shelf
life is two years.

Cement is stored in special silos and upon delivery is signed for on the delivery docket by
any of the chief operators on duty; delivery dockets are turned into the gate guard and
forwarded to accounts on a daily basis.

Once received, as a certified product, cement is immediately issued for use. Continuous
consumption alleviates the need to assess the stock as it never remains in the silo for
more than a few days and the shelf-life is approximately six months.

Each bundle of final product will be fastened with a steel or plastic strapper in order to
prevent loose falling and labelled with the necessary production information.

The catcher operators will carefully handle the fastened bundles and arrange them on the
concrete surface yard to prevent from any contamination, also to identify as "LOT".

Continuous delivery of the final product alleviates the need to assess the stock as it never
remains on the concrete surface yard for more than a few days and the shelf-life is defined
to be interminable.

The flow chart in section 8.0 outline the steps followed for delivery of the final product.
Once the product arrives on site the contractor will again check that it is in accordance
with his requirement and either accept or reject the product. If delivered load is partially
or fully rejected the products will be handled in accordance with IMS - 090.

Spare parts received are designated to the inspection area in the stores where the spare
part number and quantity are verified. After the spare parts have been found conforming
to the specified requirements they are allocated to their respective bins which is indicated
by their spare part number.

Once received, the stock item is issued on requisition (Appendix A) and the non-stock
item is issued immediately for use. Spare parts which are inspected and found to be non-
complying will remain isolated in its specified area and will be dealt in accordance with IMS
090.
