An Introduction to Risk Ranking
What is risk ranking
How is it carried out
How is it documented?
A few useful applications

Assessing and Selecting a Supplier
What are the criteria to use to select a supplier?
Why does supplier selection matter?
How should the selection process be conducted?


Workshop 1: Risk Assessment in Validation
Risk management applied to a computer system
Evaluating identified risks
Classification of risks into H, M, L
Controls to mitigate unacceptable risks
Links to the validation plan and protocols
In this workshop, delegates will use the GAMP methodology. The participants will work on a case study in which the risks associated with a computer system are assessed and managed to reduce the testing workload in validation.

Workshop 2: Risk Management in Validation
Risk management applied to a control system
What are the conclusions from the risk assessment?
What options do you have to mitigate (reduce) the higher risks?
How will the output affect the protocol?
Based on a real case study, delegates will use the same risk assessment techniques to determine where to focus the qualification of a packaging line.

Workshop 3: Applying Risk Ranking to determine
periodic review priorities
How is severity determined?
How can scales be created?
Ranking the risks
Developing a risk-based action plan.
Delegates will apply the techniques of risk ranking to determine which systems present the highest risk to the patient and should therefore be reviewed first.

Workshop 4: Assessing and Selecting a supplier
What factors influence supplier assessment?
What risks are associated with supplier selection?
Delegates will assess supplier selection information to choose between two possible suppliers for an application.
