Being a Military contractor, we've been controlling the shelf life of just
about everything for years.  First of all, every material that is received
must be labeled with an expiration date (or "no shelf life required").
We've documented in out procedure that the shelf life expires on the last
day of the month.  All shelf life material is stored in a dedicated "shelf
life " cabinet (or refrigerator/freezer).  There are obviously many of these
cabinets throughout the plant.  On the first of every month, it is the
responsibility of whom ever is in charge of the individual areas (or
designee) to go through the cabinets and remove all material that will
expire at the end of the month.  This material either gets extended (as the
internal material spec allows) or scrapped.   The important thing to do is
to have a documented shelf life policy describing the procedures.

        Subject:        [TN] Shelf life of non-component materials

        We have embarked on the road to ISO 9001-2000 and the notion of
tracking
        materials with shelf life, such as thermal grease, epoxy, glue and
other
        "date sensitive" materials has come up.

        Have any of you come up with an uncomplicated system that works?

        Thanks, Phil Nutting
