Quality assurance (QA) inspection area. Area where all material is certified or inspected
before storage or transfer to production. A separate storage area is kept for materials failing to

with Warehouse Supervisors, are responsible for training inmates who work in this area on how
to effectively conduct quality assurance inspections and other QA processes.
Main warehouse area. Area where items that have been inspected and certified as acceptable
are stored. The area is segregated by material type, and allows safe accessibility in filling factory
requisitions, delivering outgoing materials, etc.
Vendor consignment/Government Furnished Material area. Area used to store vendor
consignment or Government Furnished Materials (GFM), which are segregated from FPI
inventory.
