Standard Operating Procedure for Recording operational and maturation losses in a Disgorge Task
Objective
This SOP outlines the steps to perform a disgorge task, including handling operational and maturation losses effectively.
Key Steps
Step 1 – Prepare for Disgorge Task (0:00)
- Identify the casks to be disgorged.
- Ensure each cask has liquid and appears on the picking list.
Step 2 – Create the Disgorge Task (0:17)
- Create a new disgorge task for the selected casks.
- Tick “billable” if required.
Step 3 – Select Destination for Liquid (0:29)
- Select the destination vessel (e.g., IBC 10).
- Confirm creation of the task.
Step 4 – Mark Casks as Collected (0:40)
- Mark the casks as collected in the system.
- Scan the tank to confirm collection.
Step 5 – Record Liquid Drawdown (0:51)
- If applicable, tick “leave remnant.”
- Adjust drawn-down or remaining volumes as necessary.
Step 6 – Calculate Total Volume (1:15)
- Verify that total drawn volume is accurate (e.g., 750 L).
- Proceed with drawdown.
Step 7 – Re-gauge the IBC (1:30)
- Re-gauge the IBC using the selected method.
- Record the new volume and temperature.
Step 8 – Save Adjustments (1:50)
- Save the adjusted liquid volumes.
- Review operational and maturation losses.
Step 9 – Document Losses (2:09)
- Document losses (e.g., spillage).
- Redistribute losses proportionally across casks.
Step 10 – Complete the Task (2:32)
- Save and complete the disgorge task in the system.
Step 11 – Review Re-gauge History (2:58)
- Check the re-gauge history to confirm recorded changes.
Step 12 – Generate Activity Reports (3:35)
- Generate and review the disgorge activity report to verify losses.
Step 13 – Generate HMRC Report (4:05)
- Generate the HMRC report for the relevant period (e.g., October).
- Review the report for operational and storage losses.
Step 14 – Download and Analyze Data (4:33)
- Download the CSV report for detailed analysis.
- Use the data to identify loss-related tasks.
Cautionary Notes
- Ensure all measurements are accurate to avoid reporting discrepancies.
- Double-check selected casks before finalising the task.
Tips for Efficiency
- Familiarise yourself with the interface to streamline task creation.
- Maintain a quick-reference checklist for common issues.
