Description

An effective quality system program, along with several regulatory requirements, includes the documentation and evaluation of changes made to validated equipment, utilities, processes and controlled documents. To control this process, one must have both a defined change control procedure that outlines responsibilities and documentation requirements and also a form by which required information is recorded. The effectiveness of these items will determine the success of your change control program and help assure regulatory auditors that your equipment, utilities and systems remain in a state of control.

This seminar will concentrate on three major points:

  • The regulatory requirements for change control and what it applies to.
  • How to develop a change control SOP that will define what is required, responsibilities, and a means to quickly provide summaries of changes to investigators.
  • What are some of the common deficiencies cited by regulatory auditors?

In addition, the seminar will also highlight some of the benefits that a well maintained change control program provides to a company along with reviewing when change control is not required. Attendees will be able to ask questions on issues relating to their own change control procedure.

Topic Background:

It is said that the two things no one can avoid in life are death and taxes, but in industry, these items are change control and out of specification results that will eventually happen. How we document them and their evaluation are critical to an effective quality system program. In review of the top 10 most cited GMP deficiencies, these two topics have routinely made the top 10 list for the last five years and understanding how best to address them will help companies avoid getting cited for the same issues.
