Standard operating procedures are one of the first things FDA investigators will look at during an inspection. Yet, in 2014, "inadequate SOPs" was once again a Top 5 most-frequently-cited Form 483 observation.
A well-written SOP helps demonstrate compliance and says to inspectors: “The manufacturers know what they are doing — and why.”
But what exactly does an SOP need to contain to be “adequate?” What information, if any, should be omitted? How are they written so that employees can easily understand and follow them, and when do they need to be changed?
This webinar, led by industry expert Andrew Harrison, will teach attendees how to effectively write SOPs that remove ambiguity for employees so that procedures can be followed exactly the same way, every time.
In 90 minutes attendees will learn how to avoid costly errors in processes that result in liability and FDA scrutiny. Attendees will also learn how to increase profits by running the operation more efficiently.
Specifically attendees will learn:
• 7 things to include in SOPs;
• 7 things besides the procedure itself that must be included;
• The balance between streamlined efficiency versus in-depth understanding;
• How good SOPs work together seamlessly;
• Systems for tracking how SOPs evolve over time;
• How to define roles in SOPs for supervisors and operators;
• How to write SOPs for equipment, tools and calibration;
• Understanding documentation output and the importance of evidence;
• Steps for when to involve quality assurance; and
• When to initiate a formal investigation.
