GMP Compliance .AND. Productivity!
GMP is a special Quality System, of the Drugs and Devices Industries, for the Drugs and Devices Industries, and by the Drugs and Devices Industries, to protect and promote Safety, Efficacy and Quality of Drugs and Devices.
Strangely, it is generally believed that "Compliance" and "Productivity" are mutually exclusive: you cannot have one as well as the other; you can only have this or that. This is not always true. The issues that adversely impact on productivity are often the same issues that also adversely impact on compliance and quality. If these "common" issues are satisfactorily resolved, both productivity and quality improve. For example, there is some hold up, for whatever reason. This delay affects productivity; the operator who was fully focused until the interruption is likely to need some time after resumption to return to the "flow". In that lead up period, a mistake by him suddenly becomes probable, which adversely impacts on the quality of the process. Remember, most human errors are reportedly traced to the period when there is a change in shift!
Productivity and Compliance will never improve on their own, but can degrade very rapidly if left unattended. Losses in productivity seldom show up in financial statements, hence top management is often unaware of such, often avoidable, losses!
There are issues and events that have an influence on Compliance, just as there are issues and events that have an influence on Productivity. Center for GMP helps identify these influencing factors, and points the way to addressing them in a manner that eventually leads you to achieve high levels of Productivity, not just without compromising Compliance, but actually with substantial improvements in Product Quality.
This requires leadership, interventions and continual oversight by top management, because those at lower levels are not adequately empowered to take corrective actions as appropriate. Center for GMP will play a mentoring role at every step of the way.
