Objectives

This pre-conference session is designed to discuss the implementation of Quality Metrics in the manufacture of medicinal products and APIs. In the centre will be challenges and possible solutions to identify, measure and report meaningful Quality Metrics. For that purpose the ECA Foundation and its interest group, the European Qualified Person Association, have invited stakeholders from industry and authorities

Background


Quality can be measured on different levels. This can take place on the level of products or processes. It can also be used as a measure of the site`s ability to manufacture products fit for the intended use.

While so far only compliance and non-compliance were measured, Quality Metrics are a new step in the GMP development. Quality Metrics in itself are not new, though. They have already been used in pharmaceutical industry for years – even though mainly internally to measure and optimize the performance. However, currently there is no harmonised approach in place. This means that data can not be compared because of different standards.

The US FDA has set up an initiative to use Quality Metrics for risk based inspections. This development was triggered by the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act. However, in Europe agencies also use Quality Metrics. Therefore, a harmonised approach possibly helps regulators worldwide to separate manufacturing sites with very poor standards from those continuously working on quality improvement.

In the end Quality Metrics enable companies with a high quality performance to benefit from a continuous investment in GMP.

Target Group

This Pre-Conference Session addresses Quality and Manufacturing Managers who are involved in the planning and improvement of quality processes.
