Ask a Question

This training course will help you define the concepts behind the application of the Quality Systems to drug operations and the specific elements as discussed in the FDA guideline: Management Responsibilities, Resources, Manufacturing Operations and Evaluation Activities as well at the requirements in the ICH Q10 guideline and how it compares to the FDA document.

During this training course, you will learn about quality system elements from a risk-based approach so that the specific requirements can be prioritized based on the highest impact to product quality; this prioritization scheme can be then applied during implementation. Activities include developing and implementing an effective plan for compliance that addresses these specific requirements: CAPA, internal audits, outsourcing management, risk management, knowledge management and change control.

  1. Explain the specific requirements of the elements within the quality systems and which areas require more attention based on the overall product quality impact
  2. Identify which elements will require a cultural change and overall management commitment for its implementation
  3. Conduct a gap analysis to determine your level of compliance and be able to prioritize recommendations based on the more critical gaps
  4. Apply different levels of CAPA, internal audits and supplier audits corresponding to the risk being addressed
