The Formulated Solutions Process
Formulated Solutions uses a quality-controlled process to ensure finished products meet exacting specifications every time. Beginning in the Research & Development laboratory, our team works extensively with the client to ensure the product meets all specifications. Our current R&D experts are responsible for more than 250 consumer products on the shelves today and all of our in-house formulations.
Warehousing is the next step. After the R&D lab team finalizes the formula, we receive and store all of the raw materials necessary for production. Materials are unloaded at our receiving dock, where our receiving department generates reports detailing the time, date, carrier, customer name, item number, and number of units received that are entered into identification tags. Barcode or RFID is used to track every shipment we receive and process.
After quality control inspects the raw materials, they are released into approved lots for production and then transferred to our compounding facility. The chemicals are measured according to the formula's specifications and individually transferred to one of our mixing vessels determined by the size of the batch and required mixing procedure. Our compounding facility handles batch sizes from 10 liters to 2,500 gallons.
Each validated batch is transferred to storage containers, tagged with either barcode or RFID, and placed on holding racks in our warehouse. When production is ready to begin, the containers are moved to our cGMP and FDA compliant manufacturing facility to carry out the filling process. The finished product is inspected and released into approved lots for final packaging.
Once in the packaging room, the final product is packaged into shipping containers and tagged with barcode or RFID per customer requirements. From the packaging room, the shipping containers are moved to the warehouse or shipping room. If fulfilled, our shipping room team boxes and labels each unit with a complete shipping order. We have extensive experience shipping products anonymously to protect customer confidentiality.
Quality Control is enforced at each step of our process. Our Quality Control team inspects and micro-tests formulas created by our R&D lab, samples taken prior to a batch being validated, and finished products. After a product has finished its production run, our Quality Control team verifies the cleansing and sanitization of our filling and mixing equipment used in the product's production.
