Objectives
This Live Online Training brings together well-experienced experts to discuss the latest expectations and requirements for Quality Metrics and KPIs and how they are linked to Continual Quality Improvement (CQI), the cost of non-conformance and Business Continuity. This will support you turning your company’s quality excellence goals into reality.
Background
To remain ‘regulatory compliant’ and to ensure the continuity of product supply in a cost-effective way, systems and processes must be evaluated and the respective processes simplified and controlled. Important tools in this context are accurate Quality Metrics, the right Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Continual Quality Improvement.
Quality Metrics in itself are not new, though. They have already been used in pharmaceutical industry for years –mainly internally to measure operational performance. But quality can be measured on different levels and for many processes. Done in the right way, Quality Metrics can enable companies to reach a high quality performance. They will benefit from a continuous improvement in both operational performance and GMP compliance. And both are important for the continuity of business and product supply.
A good quality metrics system supports both industry’s profitability and GMP compliance. But a good system precludes overproduction of metrics; you only measure what adds value to quality in the most efficient way. This way the metric system is fit for purpose, enables you to maintain a high quality standard and allows you to lower your costs for quality. This can drive the price down and renders continuity to the business at the same time. To make this happen, industry must come together in courses like this to learn and discuss how to build a better quality system using smart quality metrics.
