Training of new employees in a pharmaceutical company almost always includes instilling a 'healthy fear' of inspections conducted by regulatory agencies. Most, if not all, countries in the world have governmental agencies responsible for the safety and efficacy of the medicines manufactured, sold, and distributed within their country. These agencies typically have the legal authority to go into the production facilities to assess the various aspects of the manufacturing and distribution facility. As such, employees learn that the company's viability is dependent upon successfully passing these inspections.The focus of this book is to describe the expectations of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding inspections of pharmaceutical products. Specifically, it discusses a newer FDA program — the Systems-based Inspection Program.

This book is a must read for anyone involved in any way with the pharmaceutical inspection process.
