My main duties at Central Admixture Pharmacy Services currently are Shipping. The system that we use here to ship is UPS WorldShip. We mainly ship our products within the U.S. I am extremely used to rotating product using FIFO. We make medicines administered via IV so urgency and accuracy are exceptionally important. I frequently use a stand up Crown forklift to reach product. We often communicate with Customer Service regarding back orders and other specific questions. I also am cross trained in every warehouse related task outside of Shipping.

• Handled shipping and receiving functions for branch. The way I did this was by unloading trailers with product that could be oblong. Think 15ft long troughs, screws, i.e. I also received small UPS shipments.
• Verified shipping and receiving counts matched picking and purchase order documents. Regarding the small UPS shipments I would open all the boxes, compare the packing list to the product, enter a comment into the computer system about location, i.e. and then take a picture of said product at the location. For the larger items, I would move them with a sit down forklift. Often the parts were coming in for a "job". I would often read the list of items for the job on the blue print and take them to the corresponding spot that made sense. Then I would take pictures proving that they were in that spot. The spot I wrote in the notes.
• Strengthened cost reduction efforts, shipping and receiving procedures and inventory controls. One way I did this was by questioning the process of reworks. There were 3 options, Credit, Rework and No Credit regarding returns. When you would hit Rework for the reworks, the item would not go back into inventory. The product would be "lost" in the sales eyes and often a whole new one would be made. Therefore the old product which may have only needed a bigger bore would end up being scrap later. I challenged this over and over until my supervisor gave IT a call (over and over) and figured out it needs to received as "Credit".

In this period of time at Central Admixture Pharmacy Services I mainly did duties involved with accommodating the cleanroom. Duties were

• Shucking plastic off bags of diluent to prepare for immersion
• Dunking shucked bags in large bins of bleach water for the first part of sterilization for admixture compounding
• Receiving dunked bags in a Product Staging area behind double doors to push on to the Product introduction area. The Product Staging Area require multitasking due to needed to clean as you receive carts of product. I had to pay attention because a cart is not supposed to sit before it goes into Product Introduction. I also needed to balance this with cold sterilizing measuring cylinders and taking calls from the cleanroom for anything they'd need.
• Receiving dunked bags from Product Staging and setting a timer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes we were then to wipe bags with a cloth saturated in 70% IPA. After the bags are wiped they then get introduced into the cleanroom. This is where my job function stops until the IV Tech finishes the admixture compounding. To do this job you need to go through a procedure to put on gowning that you wear from head to toe. Goggles included. Product Introduction is the most strict job I do among the jobs I list due to being the very last stage before compounding happens.
• After the IV techs compound, the product goes to the VILA. This is another area where I work. VILA means Visual Inspection Labeling Area. In the VILA, you either look at bags for 10 seconds. 5 seconds under white light and 5 seconds under black light. The label then gets applied after the visual inspection. We have to be careful to compare all the records to the labels, etc. to make sure they match. All dots must be made and all ts crossed. I do visual inspection and labeling.
• After the product leaves the VILA it goes to "Machines". I am trained to "throw on machines". This means that I can feed overwrap into the machine and calibrate it to the proper bag size, etc. Then I throw the bags onto the line and they get wrapped as someone catches. Sometimes the person wrapping has to put the wrapped product onto the cart. The cart then gets pushed to quality.
• After the cart goes through quality, the final duty I do in the process is Boxing. You scan the labels on the bags one by one and proceed to put in a box with a box label on the outside and a container label on the inside. This is the process for shelf stable products. The process for refrigerated product is the scan the labels and put them into ziplock bags. Normally by groups of 4. After that you place them into colored totes. The product then goes to quarantine for release by quality to shipping. At one point my lead let me know that I was the fastest boxer in the company.
• Some extra duties that I learned are driving the box truck and initially learning the Crown Stand Up forklift. I did not get much time with either of these due to my departure and a saturation of others that are trained on it.
