On-site with two Workshops and several Q&A Sessions


Target Group

  • Professionals in Production and Quality units involved in the creation, maintenance, and review of batch documentation for pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and API manufacturing
  • Qualified Persons (QPs) seeking to strengthen and streamline their batch record review process

Objectives

Gain a comprehensive understanding of the batch record workflow—from the master batch record through execution to batch record review. You will also learn about practical options and tools to increase efficiency and reduce review effort and costs in your company.

Background
Batch record review is a key element of pharmaceutical quality assurance and a critical step prior to batch certification by the Qualified Person (QP). A range of regulations and guidelines address batch documentation and review requirements. Over the years, however, batch documentation has become increasingly extensive, and reviews can be time-consuming—particularly when master documents are complex.
