Duration: 2 days
Time: 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Regulatory compliance and business success require establishing and demonstrating confidence in the control of processes related to product quality and patient safety. Product quality must be predictable, processes must be effective, and the systems which support those processes must be reliable.

The understanding of process related hazards and relative risks are essential for efficient and effective qualification and validation of manufacturing systems and processes. The objective of this course is to provide a basis by which the participant can develop and implement risk and science based approaches, as well as integrate and maintain programs, to qualify and validate biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical systems and processes.

The course will include background and instructional information on modern risk and science based qualification and validation methods, group participation, and workshop exercises in protocol development, risk assessment, and results analysis.

Who Should Attend

Managers and technical support staff responsible for the design, planning, qualification, validation, operation, testing and investigation of biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical processes will benefit from this course.
