Excellence in the various Quality processes is paramount throughout the whole life sciences industry. Medicinal products and devices, which have the potential to drastically change lives, must be developed with frictionless quality systems in place, to ensure controlled documentation and end-to-end compliance at any time. Quality assurance as such is a pretty broad concept. It covers all aspects of your process that can have an impact on patient outcomes.
The risk of not implementing comprehensive quality systems is well documented. The numerous yearly findings of authorities like FDA or EMA can still be devastating to a company with poor performance in quality.
Such findings can lead to substantial costs related to corrective measures, remediation and blocking of sites and product. Companies can face external costs like regulatory action, massive reputational damage, and a loss of market share.
US-based pharmaceutical organizations should work to assess and understand the following regulatory requirements from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including clinical requirements:
If your marketing ambitions post-approval include Europe, you should strongly consider aligning your quality system to ICH Q10 earlier in your development.
Constantly verify the consistency of existing processes and whether existing specifications are appropriate and adequate.
GxP - the implementation of quality principles for raw materials, the manufacturing process, packaging, transportation, and storage.
Besides the obvious process excellence, a proper product the quality-driven culture remains a main factor to achieve quality.
The increasing complexity and continuous changes in the regulatory environment push organizations to seek a more holistic and highly integrated approach to their audit management processes. Auditing is a vital function within a pharmaceutical company nowadays CAPA Management
HIGHLIGHTS
To understand how to achieve quality in a regulated industry, you need to know that corrective and preventative actions (CAPA) are essential elements of quality management in GxP environments. The CAPA process is a commonly used tool to achieve operational excellence by identifying and mitigating non-conformances and deviations, both internally and externally.
HIGHLIGHTS
Life science organizations developing or manufacturing pharmaceutical products will typically create, maintain and execute large amounts of standard operational procedures (SOP). The solid change control and deployment of SOPs are a fundamental to achieve compliance excellence.
Properly designed Standard Operating Procedures include step-by-step instructions as well as the following:
HIGHLIGHTS
Change management is specifically designed to evaluate, redesign, and implement new business processes, where processes are defined in standard operating procedures (SOPs). A well implemented change management pays back into improved business processes, efficient workflows, decreased project overhead, a better risk profile and an improved company culture.
HIGHLIGHTS
Post implementation training services often relateto process changes. With arivis training services implementations are ready for success. The neuronOS Learning Management System (LMS) typically handles the processes related to ramp-up and adoption planning after larger implementations.
HIGHLIGHTS
As a common mechanism to discriminate events based on their relevance and to objectively categorize them, concentrating resources and efforts in good quality investigations of the root causes of relevant deviations.
HIGHLIGHTS
Audits, safety inspections, engineering surveys, and quality checks are common in life sciences. While they add overheads, they are necessary to keep organizations in business.
