Good identification of products., adequate infrastructure for handling and transporting. The products are traced using a spreadsheet system that records the status, location and filling condition of each cylinder. - The cylinder filling process is controlled through the documented procedure AS SOP-IMS-01, which defines the steps, responsibilities and controls for safe and consistent cylinder filling operations. During the audit, the procedure was found to be available at the workplace and in use by operators, supporting standardized implementation of the process. - Vehicle movements and transported loads are continuously monitored using a GPS tracker installed on each truck, allowing control of speed, routes and stops for all road shipments. Transport data is recorded and documented in a Logistics Report Excel sheet, providing traceability and follow-up for each trip and shipment - Inventory is controlled through the documented Warehouse Management Procedure AS-SOP-IMS-04, which defines the methods for receiving, storing, issuing and recording materials/products. During the audit, the procedure was found implemented and used by warehouse staff to manage stock levels and movements, supporting effective control of inventory. - Operations are monitored and recorded 24/7 through a CCTV system covering key process areas. Camera recordings are retained and can be reviewed when required to verify operational practices, investigate incidents and support QHSE compliance. - Cylinder-related data (stock balances, pressure, valve type and cylinder diameter) are monitored through an electronic dashboard, from which reports are generated regularly. The dashboard also provides automatic alarms for cylinder test due dates, and the length of time cylinders remain with customers, enabling timely recall and re-testing. Records reviewed confirmed that this tool is used to control cylinder status and ensure ongoing compliance with requirements. - Customer feedback on products and services is obtained and customer satisfaction is monitored through a customer retention indicator, linked to the periodic renewal of contracts with existing customers.
