    Proper storage of received materials is ensured through the following key practices:

    1. Inspection Upon Receipt

    Inspect materials for quality, quantity, and condition against purchase orders or delivery notes.

    Record any discrepancies or damages for follow-up.

    2. Designated Storage Areas

    Allocate specific areas for different types of materials based on their characteristics (e.g., temperature-sensitive, hazardous, or fragile items).

    Use labeling and signage to ensure clear identification.

    3. Environmental Controls

    Maintain appropriate temperature, humidity, and ventilation for materials that require controlled conditions.

    Use refrigeration or freezers for perishable items and climate-controlled spaces for sensitive materials.

    4. Organization and Accessibility

    Implement shelving, bins, or racks to organize materials for easy access and prevent damage.

    Store heavier or bulkier items at lower levels and lighter items higher up for safety.

    5. Inventory Management Systems

    Use software or manual logs to track the location, quantity, and movement of materials.

    Implement first-in, first-out (FIFO) or first-expired, first-out (FEFO) systems to manage inventory effectively.

    6. Segregation of Materials

    Separate incompatible materials (e.g., chemicals that may react with each other).

    Isolate hazardous materials in compliance with safety regulations.

    7. Security Measures

    Restrict access to storage areas to authorized personnel only.

    Use locks, cameras, or inventory audits to prevent theft or misuse.

    8. Periodic Inspections and Maintenance

    Conduct regular checks to ensure materials are in good condition and storage conditions remain optimal.

    Proper storage of received materials is ensured by maintaining clean, dry, and well-ventilated storage areas to prevent spoilage and contamination. Regular inspections are conducted to monitor for pests and moisture levels, while materials are organized based on their type and expiration dates to facilitate first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management. Additionally, temperature and humidity controls are implemented as needed to protect sensitive ingredients.
