What is Batch Manufacturing Record (BMR) or Batch Processing Record (BPR) :

Batch manufacturing record is a written document of the batch from dispensing to Inspection stage which tells about the procedure and step wise instruction to be followed during the manufacturing of each batches. It contains actual data of the process and it is like a proof that batches were properly made and checked by quality Assurance personnel. It also contains the details like Who has done the activity, when the done the activity etc.
