What problem is cited in 60% of all FDA warning letters?
It's SOPs. Not the lack of them, but how poorly they're written, communicated, monitored and enforced.
One former top FDA official recalls walking into dozens of companies and being shown stacks of SOPs. But when he talked to lab and plant staff, the response was always the same: "What SOPs?" or, "Yeah, we saw them, but we're not sure what they mean."
Finally, drug and devicemakers have a chance to fix the broken processes, educate staff and get on the FDA's good side.
Why wait for one of the biggest problems to be exposed during an FDA inspection?
Register now for the hands-on workshop that shows attendees how to:

• Take current SOPs to the next level with easy-to-master techniques
• Apply eight SOP audit strategies that tell if staff has gone astray
