Objectives

You will understand the purpose and organisation of regulatory inspections and you will learn how to prepare your company to pass an inspection or customer audit and how to assure the most positive outcome.
Get practical knowledge of:
  • What inspectors are looking for
  • Successful preparation and management of inspections
  • Performing a MOCK-Inspection
  • Latest trends (with a view on virtual/remote inspections)
In addition, you will hear examples from global inspections to gain a better understanding of what is expected.

Background

GMP audits and inspections are fundamental elements of managing quality in the pharmaceutical industry. On the one hand, pharmaceutical companies have to perform supplier audits. And on the other hand, the pharmaceutical companies as well as the suppliers are frequently inspected by the authorities (both national and international inspectorates like the FDA) as a central element of supervision.

For the company, an inspection can have a decisive influence on the daily work and its economic future. A sound and thorough preparation is an essential key to successfully pass an inspection.

Target Group

This GMP Education Course is designed for all persons involved in preparing, managing and escorting audits and inspections.
