Title: Collecting documents for manufacturing
Course: BTEC-1300-301-302-303-F21 > Section: DNA Extraction Kits

In order to begin you will need to collect the documents that are need to manufacture the product. The WID will give us the information we need to begin, and the Batch Record Form will be where we document the manufacturing process.

To collect these document follow the instructions below

1. Login to SharePoint and find the following documents
  1. “Assembly of Cheek Cell DNA Extraction Kit - Work Instruction Document”
  2. “Assembly of Cheek Cell DNA Extraction Kit - Batch Record Form”
2. Download and print documents.
3. You will be using the WID to guide you in assembling 1 batch of Cheek Cell DNA Extraction Kits
4. You will be using the batch record form to record the manufacturing activities.

The first thing that you do when you get a WID that you are unfamiliar with is read it in its entirety, even if you don't get it read it anyway. The specifics of each section of the WID will be discussed below. What you don't want to happen is to run into a surprise when you are halfway through a process, so make sure to read the WID thoroughly before you begin any manufacturing. Because the WID identifies everything that you need to do to make the product you should be prepared to begin manufacturing upon reading through it.

The WID for Assembly of Cheek Cell DNA Extraction is a master WID to the whole process of manufacturing these kits. Within that process are several smaller processes that can be completed independently, such as the manufacture of a 50 ml conical tube with salt.  The process of making the salt tubes has its own WID and batch record forms and can be completed independently of making the kits. This is designed this way so that each part of the process can be looked at individually, and be performed independently of the others if need. The separation of parts also allows STUDENTfacturED to look closer at specific parts of the process and determine, where areas of improvement lie.

Within the master WID you will be guided to any documents needed to complete the process. They will be listed in the components section of the WID. In addition the master WID has a flow chart detailing the entire process from beginning to end to guide you. The documents needed for each separate process are listed here as well.

In the next module you will take a closer look at the specific sections of a WID and learn how to follow them.
