Course Overview
Documentation of production and analytical methods (standard operating procedures),
product specifications, facility and parts drawings, technology transfer documents,
validation protocols and batch record documentation are the most vital tools available
for assuring product quality, integrity and consistency.
Establishing and managing an efficient and effective, non-bureaucratic documentation
system that meets operational and regulatory needs is a major challenge. Doing
so without becoming a systems bottleneck is a formidable task, especially when
the needed staff are "never available"! The course is designed to review
the complete documentation function and provide insight into the right and wrong
ways of establishing and managing this essential function.
Some companys documentation systems are, by their very design, doomed to
provide inferior and inefficient service to meet user and regulatory needs. The
course provides examples of both effective and regulatory needs. Current paper
systems and newly developed electronic systems are presented and discussed.
