2.2.2: Quality Systems Approach
The main purpose of a quality systems approach or model is to ensure that the standards of safety and the effectiveness of the product that are met during production are sustainable. Being such an important aspect of GMP, the FDA have implemented guidelines that are intended to help manufacturers effectively introduce their own model to adhere to regulations contained in 21CFR parts 210 and 211 (FDA, 2006). The goal of this guide is to allow companies to implement comprehensive quality system models which lead to the sustainability and continuous quality of the product within the organisation. GMP and quality systems are guidelines, not regulations, produced for the industry which allows flexibility in carrying …show more content…
A science based approach should extend to all aspects of the business including management of the business, development and operations in order to ensure correct design and verification of manufacturing systems to the best of the companies' ability. In industry, production of a product is perfected at lab scale then technology transferred to pilot scale production before going into full scale production. At this stage many 'demo’ batches are produced and tested before batches for retail are manufactured. (Brady, …show more content…
Corrective action is there to eliminate detected defects usually implemented as a response to either internal or external complaints or inconsistencies noticed, leading to undesired trends in either the product or process. Whereas preventative action is taken when a potential source of these inconsistencies is identified before it occurs. Preventative action is ideal in the industry as it is regarded proactive action, whereas corrective action is regarded as reactive. Corrective action commonly costs 3 times more than preventative actions due to its implication on scheduled maintenance and production. CAPA helps companies to meet many GMP guidelines including FDA CFR Part 211(.192) and ICH Q7A-6.5. Both of these describe the need of efficient ways to deal with deviation or failure of specifications. (McKiernan, 2013) (Brady,
