Dipping/regauging a Container

Standard Operating Procedure for dipping or Re-Gauging Container Contents

Objective

This SOP outlines the steps required to accurately re-gauge the contents of containers such as IBCs, vats, and tanks.

Key Steps

Step 1 – Look Up the IBC (0:08)

• Access the system and locate the IBC you need to re-gauge.
• Ensure you have the correct IBC selected before proceeding.

Step 2 – Request a Re-Gauge (0:31)

• Initiate a re-gauge request through the normal process.
• Monitor the warehouse dashboard for updates on the request.

Step 3 – Manually Add Re-Gauge Data (0:45)

• If necessary, manually add the re-gauge data.
• Confirm that a task is in place for this re-gauge.

Step 4 – Enter User Information (1:08)

• Specify the user who performed the re-gauge.
• Ensure that the user information is accurate.

Step 5 – Mark as Billable (if applicable) (1:15)

• Decide if the re-gauge should be marked as billable.
• Select the appropriate option in the system.

Step 6 – Input Re-Gauge Data (1:32)

• Enter the new re-gauge data:
  • Current volume (e.g., 300)
  • Previous volume (e.g., 308.8)
  • Strength (e.g., 42.5)
  • Temperature (e.g., 14)
• Use the calculator feature if needed to assist with calculations.

Step 7 – Review Inferred Losses (1:39)

• Check the inferred losses displayed by the system.
• Classify any losses as maturation losses if applicable.

Step 8 – Submit Re-Gauge Information (2:07)

• Review all entered data for accuracy.
• Submit the re-gauge information to finalise the process.

Step 9 – Verify Re-Gauge Chart (2:21)

• Access the re-gauge chart to confirm that the new figures have been recorded correctly.

Cautionary Notes

• Always double-check the IBC selected to avoid errors.
• Ensure all data entered is accurate to prevent discrepancies in inventory.

Tips for Efficiency

• Familiarise yourself with the system interface to speed up the process.
• Use the calculator feature to minimise manual calculations and reduce errors.
