Book Description
Worldwide regulatory agencies perform many inspections annually, and all too often investigation and CAPA system violations are at the top of the list of infractions. Life-sciences regulated companies (not only FDA-regulated ones) must ensure their investigation and CAPA systems look beyond the ‘usual suspects' to identify other quality issues in order to minimize risks (including safe ones) and reduce costs. Enhancements to this third edition include: A new section linking the investigation and CAPA programs with the overall quality culture of the company Fully updated, current versions of regulations including U.S. FDA, EU, ISO 9001, and ISO 13485 Updated inspectional observations from the U.S. FDA and U.K. MHRA A revised investigation and CAPA processes chapter, which has an improved barrier analysis section, including detailed flowcharts describing the barrier analysis process New charts and information related to the investigation of human errors; the human factor section includes information about training and competence A new chapter devoted to analytical laboratory investigations, including a section covering the invalidation of testing results Updated forms and examples of the different elements of the investigation and CAPA plan, including new case studies; a revised diagnostic tool used for investigating human error Jose(Pepe) Rodrguez-Perez, PhD, is president of Business Excellence Consulting, Inc., (BEC), a Puerto Rico-based, consulting, training, and remediation firm that focuses on the areas of regulatory compliance, FDA-regulatory training, and risk management.

Process Monitoring and Improvement Handbook
Author: Manuel E. Peña-Rodríguez
Publisher: Quality Press
ISBN: 1953079083
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
The concept of process monitoring and improvement applies to any type of industry: automotive, textiles, food, pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, electronics, aerospace, banking, educational institutions, service providers, and so on. The focus of this book is to identify and apply different process monitoring and improvement tools in any organization. This book is aimed at engineers, scientists, analysts, technicians, managers, supervisors, and all other professionals responsible to measure and improve the quality of their processes. Many times, these professionals do not have a formal education on the use of these tools but learn about them throughout the different improvement projects in which they are involved in their work environment. This book is intended to fill the gap between the lack of formal education in the tools and the need to implement those tools in an improvement project. The book can also be used as a refresher course for those professionals who did learn about these tools as part of their educational background.

Human Error Reduction in Manufacturing
Author: Jose (Pepe) Rodriguez-Perez
Publisher: Quality Press
ISBN: 1636940919
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
For many years, we considered human errors or mistakes as the cause of mishaps or problems. In the manufacturing industries, human error, under whatever label (procedures not followed, lack of attention, or simply error), was the conclusion of any quality problem investigation. The way we look at the human side of problems has evolved during the past few decades. Now we see human errors as the symptoms of deeper causes. In other words, human errors are consequences, not causes. The basic objective of this book is to provide readers with useful information on theories, methods, and specific techniques that can be applied to control human failure. It is a book of ideas, concepts, and examples from the manufacturing sector. It presents a comprehensive overview of the subject, focusing on the practical application of the subject, specifically on the human side of quality and manufacturing errors. In other words, the primary focus of this book is human failure, including its identification, its causes, and how it can be reasonably controlled or prevented in the manufacturing industry setting. In addition to including a detailed discussion of human error (the inadvertent or involuntary component of human failure), a chapter is devoted to analysis and discussion related to voluntary (intentional) noncompliance. Written in a direct style, using simple industry language with abundant applied examples and practical references, this book's insights on human failure reduction will improve individual, organizational, and social well-being.

Quality Risk Management in the FDA-Regulated Industry
Author: José Rodríguez Pérez
Publisher: Quality Press
ISBN: 0873898346
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Risk management principles are effectively utilized in many areas of business and government, including finance, insurance, occupational safety, and public health, and by agencies regulating these industries. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and its worldwide counterparts are responsible for protecting public health by ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the drugs and medical devices. Regulators must decide whether the benefits of a specific product for patients and users outweigh its risk, while recognizing that absolute safety (or zero risk) is not achievable. Every product and every process has an associated risk. Although there are some examples of the use of quality risk management in the FDA-regulated industry today, they are limited and do not represent the full contribution that risk management has to offer. The present FDA focus on risk-based determination is requiring that the regulated industries improve dramatically their understanding and capability of hazard control concepts. In addition, the importance of quality systems has been recognized in the life sciences industry, and it is becoming evident that quality risk management is a valuable component of an effective quality system. The purpose of this book is to offer a systematic and very comprehensive approach to quality risk management. It will assist medical and food product manufacturers with the integration of a risk management system or risk management principles and activities into their existing quality management system by providing practical explanations and examples. The appropriate use of quality risk management can facilitate compliance with regulatory requirements such as good manufacturing practices or good laboratory practices. The content of this book will provide FDA-regulated manufacturers with a framework within which experience, insight, and judgment are applied systematically to manage the risks associated with their products. Manufacturers in other industries may use it as an informative guidance in developing and maintaining a risk management system and process. The two appendices add even more insight: Appendix A contains general examples of risk management, while Appendix B includes 10 case studies illustrating real examples of the quality risk management process across the medical product arena.
