Effective and Compliant Change Control Management - Before, During and After Validation
Overview:
There is a need to implement an adequate formal level of change control during engineering projects (referred to as an Engineering Change Control) after the approval of the equipment/systems specifications in addition to the more formal change control after the qualification of these systems. The Engineering change control process will apply through design, construction and qualification up to the point that the system is considered installed/operational. The new Quality Systems guideline from the FDA states that the Quality function must be involved in the review of the design and subsequent changes to the design of facilities, equipment and systems that may impact the product quality.
Why should you attend: Most pharmaceutical companies focuses on change control management after commercialization but changes must be managed earlier during the design of facilities, equipment and systems in addition to changes implemented during the development of the manufacturing processes. The question is: What is the level of control required at the design/development stages? Who needs to be involved? What are the steps required for the processing of such changes and the documentation that is required to provide evidence of such controls?
