Objectives

Learn how to implement, optimise and efficiently establish a GMP-compliant Document Management System through specialised lectures and examples. For this, various possibilities will be presented, like for example management via simple databases, handling of hybrid forms or methods, and full electronic document management.
This will be discussed also in the light of the revised chapter 4 of the EU-GMP Guide and FDA’s emphasis on data integrity under CPG 7346.832.

Background

Documentation is an essential element of every GxP-relevant activity. Indeed, various documents are necessary to define precisely what has to be done, how it has been performed and which results have been created. This gives rise to large quantities of paper and electronic data - which must be reviewed, properly organised and managed efficiently. The new chapter 4 of the EU-GMP Guide requires a „system of documentation“ as part of a Quality Management System (QMS) to ensure the accuracy, the completeness and the proper control of all documents. According to this chapter “Good documentation constitutes an essential part of the quality assurance system and is key to operating in compliance with GMP requirements.”

It must be noted that documents aren’t created for the inspector but for the company to gather comprehensive documentation about its procedures and workflows and also for control and traceability purposes.

Target Group

This Education Course is directed at all those employees who are responsible for the creation and the management of GMP relevant documents and who are searching for implementation and optimisation possibilities.
