WIN Execution Guide — Foreign Material Control Verification
Non-Authoritative WIN Execution Guide Notice
This WIN Execution Guide supports execution of applicable Family Pack controls.
Authority for control intent and requirements remains solely with the
governing Family Pack. This document does not create, modify, or interpret controls.
Purpose
To support consistent execution of foreign material control verification
activities within production areas to prevent contamination and ensure
active monitoring of protective barriers.
Scope
Applies to all production areas, equipment, and exposed material zones
where foreign material barriers, screens, covers, guards, or other
protective controls are required to protect product integrity.
Section 6 — AA (Auditable Artifacts)
AA-PROD-FMCONTROL-CHK — Foreign Material Control Verification
- Area/equipment identification
- Barrier or protective control verification
- Inspection outcomes
- Corrective action or escalation reference when risk identified
Auditor focus: Objective evidence that foreign material risks are actively monitored and controlled.
QC-REQ Anchor: QC-ENV-002
Section 7 — WIN (Work Instructions / Control Requirements)
WIN-PROD-FMCONTROL
- Verify foreign material barriers and protections.
- Inspect exposed materials and work zones.
- Document verification or corrective actions.
Stop-Execution Condition:
- Foreign material contamination identified
- Protective barrier failure
Control outcome: Foreign material risks are controlled and escalated when detected.
Process: Production (PROD)
Business Process Owner: Production BPO
Primary Systems / Forms: FM-CHK-01 (or equivalent inspection log)
BPO-Owned Execution Zone — Operational Step Sequence
Foreign material control verification is conducted at defined intervals,
shift changes, and prior to startup of exposed production activities.
Verification supports continuous monitoring of barrier integrity and
work zone condition.
Step 1 — Identify Area and Equipment
- Confirm production area and specific equipment subject to inspection.
- Verify correct batch or activity status if applicable.
- Ensure inspection is performed prior to exposed material handling.
Step 2 — Verify Protective Barriers and Controls
- Inspect screens, covers, sieves, guards, magnets, filters, and other protective devices.
- Confirm barriers are intact, properly installed, and free from visible damage.
- Verify fasteners, clamps, and fittings are secure.
- Confirm no gaps, tears, cracks, or missing components are present.
Step 3 — Inspect Exposed Materials and Work Zones
- Visually inspect exposed materials for foreign material presence.
- Inspect surrounding work surfaces, utensils, and equipment for debris.
- Confirm housekeeping standards are maintained.
- Remove incidental debris immediately where no product impact exists.
Step 4 — Address Identified Risks
- If foreign material contamination is identified, stop affected activity immediately.
- Segregate impacted materials and secure area.
- If protective barrier failure is observed, cease operations and prevent further exposure.
- Escalate to supervision and initiate Quality notification per site escalation process.
Step 5 — Document Verification
- Record area/equipment identification and date/time of inspection.
- Document barrier condition and inspection outcome.
- Record any corrective actions taken.
- Reference escalation or Quality Event number where applicable.
Stop-Execution Principle
If foreign material contamination or barrier failure is identified:
STOP — SECURE — ESCALATE — DOCUMENT
Authority Reminder
