PREFACE
This Quality Assurance Workbook for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers presents
strategies for the set up and management of a Quality Management system within the
pharmaceutical industry. Based on the structure of DIN EN ISO 9000, a series of Quality Management sections are shown and it is made clear that these must be
realised and continuously improved. These sections regulate the responsibility for
quality, show how necessary it is to plan processes at an early stage, what is required
in order to attain a high production standard and how it may be maintained. All
chapters are presented individually and partly supplemented with practiced order-of-
events experience (Standard Operation Procedures [SOPs]).
Starting with the close relationship of Quality Assurance with Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Quality Control and Pharmaceutical Production, a
Quality Management system for the pharmaceutical industry is presented and anexample Quality Manual is described. Within the 25 chapters the key issues of a good
Quality Manual are presented and practices are described that have been developed
within a pharmaceutical manufacturing company.
Starting with Management Responsibility, advice is presented on how to provide
job descriptions and define management responsibilities. The Quality Management
System chapter deals with the establishment, documentation, implementation and
maintenance of a Quality Management system, e.g., how to handle manufacturing
protocols, testing instructions, measures for calibration and maintenance, etc.
A detailed description of the set up and review of contracts such as Secrecy
Agreement , (Contract) Manufacturing Agreement and Quality Assurance Agreement
and the measures for amendments thereof are provided. This is followed by
descriptions of the process of the planned and documented Research and Development
(R&D), ranging from planning, definition of inputs, documentation of the results and
inspection and certification of the design, to design validation, which defines the
transition into the field of process control.
Control of documents and records is of paramount importance, thusdocumentation requirements, e.g., design and structure of SOPs and other Quality

Manual documents are described. Measures for Purchasing are presented and
supplemented by SOPs dealing with vendor qualification programs and audit
checklists. The next chapter deals with Control of Customer-Supplied Product in
which specification requirements of starting materials, packaging materials, etc., and
systematic verification, storage and control are described.
Classification of products is important in all phases of production, quality control,
and delivery. The requirements for identification and recording for traceability are
presented within the topic of Product Identification and Traceability. Quality relevant
instructions for process steering and Process Control are provided. All manufacturing
processes need to be conducted under fully validated conditions and following
established specifications. The purpose of the chapter on Inspection and Testing is to
describe the systematic testing procedure for compliance with stipulated quality
requirements. This ensures that tested materials are used in the manufacturing processand are subsequently processed and released as an end-product for launch provided
that they satisfy the specifications stipulated in advance. The status of the materials
and products must be considered in relation to the results of past and future quality
tests.
The chapter about Control of Non-conforming Products is provided to show how
to process complaints and to trace back raw data. Practical advice is also provided
about Corrective and Preventive Action dealing with deviation management and
deviation report form. The provisions for identifying, collecting, recording and
archiving quality records are described in the chapter about Control of Quality Records.
Since auditing is a fundamental element of a Quality Management system a
company must have an audit procedure and program in place to verify conformity of
operations with the principles of Quality Assurance, and the relevant regulatory
requirements. The chapter on Self Inspections and Auditing deals with regulations
about how to conduct audits from the point of view of Quality Assurance, Regulatory
Agencies (legal authorities) and contractors. Detailed SOPs are provided for
adaptation.
In addition to the need for qualified equipment in the pharmaceutical industry,
international and national conditions also demand and regulate staff qualifications
(training). The chapter on Training provides detailed information about
responsibilities, practical aspects on training, e.g., qualification of trainer, training
materials, example documentation of training and instructions, etc.
Subsequent chapters deal with the important topics of Servicing and Statistical
Techniques and this is followed by a chapter on Hygiene and maintaining Hygienic
Conditions with regard to the regulations governing personnel and production hygiene.

The chapter on Facilities, Utilities, and Engineering details the regulations and
gives an example of the content and structure of a Site Master File and also
information about Validation of both manufacturing and analytical methods. The
structure of a Validation Master Plan and required contents of chapters is discussed
followed by introduction into risk analysis according to the HACCP (Hazard Analysis
and Critical Control Points) concept and measures for Analytical and Manufacture
Transfer Protocols.
Change is inevitable and if there is to be improvement it must be planned,
controlled and coordinated if chaos and confusion are to be avoided. Measures to
adequately control change are provided within the chapter on Change Control and
Annual Product Review, which contains example SOPs and formulae dealing with
change control management and annual product reviews. Finally a philosophy of the
Continuous Improvement of a Quality Management system is discussed.
