Background

“Vision without execution is hallucination” – Thomas Edison
 
More than ever, quality culture in pharmaceutical industry is coming to the fore. Industry leaders recognise that it is essential for ensuring high quality processes and products. Establishing and maintaining a good quality culture seems to be a key to continuous improvement and business continuity. Regulatory authorities also emphasise the importance of continuous improvement of processes and quality. A lived vital culture from the shop floor to upper management is indispensable here.
 
But it needs to be more than just a vision! A good quality culture is based on the behaviour of the individuals within the corporate quality strategy and the appropriate infrastructure of the company. It is important that everybody is aware of the importance of quality. Individuals need to transfer both knowledge and quality values. This vision must be executed. How this can be done will presented and discussed in this Master Class.
