BUSINESS PROCESS
1. Customer registers at the guard house. 2. Customer proceeds to Customer Receiving Area. 3. Customer Receiving Officer (CRO) gives schedule for sample
submission. a. checks if the sample to be submitted is valid and if a sterile
sampling bottle is required. b. checks if the request is an on-site or in-house calibration.
4. Customer returns on scheduled day of sample submission/ calibration and pays for the corresponding fees.
5. Customer waits for the testing/ calibration of samples submitted. 6. Customer returns to pick up the testing/ calibration Report on
scheduled release of reports.
