Objectives

Why you should attend this training?
  • You will systematically be introduced to the principles and methods of the validation of computerised systems (according to GAMP®)
  • You will learn the skills to plan, implement and document effectively validation activities for computerised systems and to assess them with respect to their GxP compliance
  • In workshops / interactive sessions you can see how the theoretical foundations will apply practicable

Background

Computerised systems are a central factor determining work sequences in the pharmaceutical industry. Their use increases product safety and saves time and costs of manual intervention. This creates the requirement and necessity, however, to validate all computerised systems which can influence the quality of pharmaceutical products.

The basis of the Training will be the current requirements for the validation of computerised systems like GAMP® and their GxPoriented application in practice.

Experts from the pharmaceutical industry and from the GAMP® Committee will show you efficient ways to validate your computerised systems.

Target Group

This Training is directed towards specialists and executives in the pharmaceutical industry entrusted with the planning, implementation and evaluation of the validation of computerised systems.
