BMR is a Document that provides a history of a batch mean how a product is manufactured step by step following written procedures.
It contains signs of qualified persons and operators involved in manufacturing.
What is Batch packaging Record (BPR)

Why do we manufacture granules?
Granules are prepared for tablet compression because of the following main reasons.
- To enhance flow because powders flow is poor.
- To prevent weight variation.
- To reduce dusty environment because powders are dustier.
- To prevent segregation.
- To improve content uniformity.
- To improve compaction.
- Powders are elastic so tend to cap but granules are plastic so prevent tablet capping.
What is a rat hole?
Rathole is a powder flow defect in which powder adheres to the walls of compression machine hopper or blender walls and stops the flow against walls creating a hole in the middle. It results in weight variation and fragile tablets during compression.
