Compliance – Efficiency – Quality

Zielgruppe

Managers and Executives from pharmaceutical Quality Management and Assurance, Business Executives and Production Managers and those involved in continuous improvement projects.

Zielsetzung

Learn how to design lean, efficient and compliant Quality and GMP-Systems that will support you in turning your quality goals into reality.
 
Background
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in the pharmaceutical industry are designed to ensure that products are consistently produced and controlled according to defined quality standards. However, some companies tend to overinterpret regulations, leading to unnecessary processes that can inflate costs and reduce efficiency. To right-size GMP and compliance, and move towards lean GMP-systems while still adhering to regulations and being compliant, companies can consider several strategies and use various tools. By focusing on these, companies can develop lean GMP-systems that are not only compliant but also optimised for efficiency and effectiveness. It's about finding the right balance between ensuring product quality and safety while eliminating unnecessary costs and processes.
