Weigh and Dispense

w&d · central weigh

TL;DR

The controlled pre-weighing of raw materials into kits per the approved formula, with verified scales, e-signatures, and lot reservation against the work order.

Weigh and Dispense (W&D) is the GMP-critical step that converts released raw-material lots into kits matched to a specific work order. Controls include scale calibration check, tare/gross/net verification, second-person witnessing or barcode verification, and immediate consumption against lot inventory. Errors at W&D propagate forward into every downstream step.

V5 enforces W&D at the kiosk: the operator can only dispense released lots, the scale tolerance must be live, e-signatures and lot consumption are written atomically, and overdispense paths trigger automatic deviation routing.

How V5 handles it
eBMR / eDHR — the batch record writes itself.
When the master is locked and the operator works on the kiosk, the batch record is no longer something to assemble — it’s something to render.
21 CFR Part 11 — the operating model, not a checkbox.
Other systems bolt Part 11 on top. V5 enforces it at the database layer so application code can never rewrite history.
