Objectives
During this Master Class you will get to know benefits and risks using electronic solutions for GMP and Quality Assurance systems. You will learn how they work and interact, and what needs to be considered when specifying, implementing and validating them.
Experts will show you possibilities to improve your systems and how to use them efficiently and in compliance with the (c)GMP regulations.
Background
Computerised systems have been used for many years in pharmaceutical industry. Their use increases product safety, improves speed of processes, ensures data integrity and saves time and costs in manufacturing. However, these benefits only come if the system has been implemented and validated correctly. Over the last years, electronic solutions for GMP- and QA-Systems have been getting more and more sophisticated and popular for the same reasons. They are able to remove much of the paper work that is still used in quality assurance, manufacturing and quality control.
But while implementing those systems, a lot of factors have to be considered and questions to be answered both from a technical and compliance point of view:
Ensuring your system is correctly specified
How to identify the best system for your needs
Strategic design of electronic solutions
How to manage the project
Management of costs and risks
Effective and efficient computer validation
Efficient and compliant implementation
Increasing cost pressures on pharmaceutical companies mean that internal efficiencies are essential to ensure profitability from manufacturing operations but also in R&D. And implementing electronic systems first of all needs a lot of resources: people, money, time. Therefore it is of utmost importance to do the right things: choose the right systems, implement them quickly and efficiently and get the most out of them.
In June 2011, the new versions of EU GMP Annex 11 and Chapter 4 became effective. The course will look at how these requirements have impacted the validation and
operation of electronic solutions.
