Typical Shortcomings of GMP Quality Systems


During my many years of reviewing and working with CGMP Quality Systems, I have encountered several reoccurring shortcomings. Although a given Quality System is not likely to have all of these shortcomings, most quality systems that I have evaluated have at least one of them.

Nine common CGMP Quality System shortcomings are:
  1. Narrow-Focused Development Program
  2. Unrefined Quality Monitoring
  3. Inundated Quality Systems and Personnel
  4. An “It’s Approved, Don’t Improve It” Mentality
  5. Under Utilized Quality Tools
  6. Poor Quality Leadership from Senior Management
  7. Resistance to New Technological Advances
  8. Meager Internal Auditing Program
  9. Ineffective Training Programs

Over the course of the next nine week’s I will elaborate on each of these Quality System shortcomings and provide suggestions on how to overcome them.
