An article examining recent GMP inspection data from two prominent regulatory bodies notes that “Deficiencies in investigations remains at the top of this list over the past four years. We as an industry cannot seem to get this quite right.” I agree. Here’s why.

The COVID-19 pandemic shines a light on the importance of developing a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) early in the establishment of your business. Many fail to realize a BCP is a necessity—a necessity, like a fire extinguisher, we hope we never have to use.
I often find myself in a meeting with a client’s leadership team, where someone asks me, “How can we build more of a Quality culture?” This simple question reveals significant information about how the company operates, as well as the state of its culture.
Many deficiencies identified in FDA’s 483s and Warning Letters can be traced back to SOP deficiencies—inadequately written, communicated, monitored, and/or enforced. Well-written SOPs provide clear instructions, avoiding deviations.
Quality experts know that SOP training has positive effects on performance and success. Yet senior executives can resist even a minimum amount of training, especially when they do not operate daily in a GxP environment.
Today, we want to discuss elements that make for a strong foundation for such a program. Remember the goal is to maintain compliance while ensuring employees efficiently master required techniques and current operating procedures and protocols.
A well-trained staff is highly essential not only to prevent events as noted above, but also to ensure that employees integrate Quality and agency requirements into everyday activities.
As we come to the close of this election cycle (with much thanks and relief), today we delve into how “retail politics” can help Quality be more successfully integrated into everyday activities.
