Our annual internal GMP training day 2024

To support our ongoing efforts to ensure
highest quality standards, our annual
internal training day.

Thanks to regular training courses on Good

and know-how they need to consistently produce high-quality products
to manufacture.

Expertise in focus: Training management by our
GMP instructors
This year’s training day was led by our experienced
Head of Quality Assurance, Ursina Graf, in cooperation with other
experienced GMP instructors. Their in-depth knowledge and
extensive experience in the areas of GMP and quality assurance were
crucial for the success of the training day. The team of instructors led
the participants through a series of complex topics, with particular emphasis on
practice-oriented approaches and the direct application of the training content,
to ensure that the content is conveyed appropriately.

GMP Deviation Management: Prevention and Response

to regularly refresh these processes and provide further training. The focus was on
how deviations from defined processes are detected early, correctly
documented and can be effectively resolved. The participants learned
Deviations not only as potential errors, but as valuable
Opportunities for process optimization were considered. Best practices
for root cause analysis and implementation of corrective and
Preventive measures are provided to prevent similar deviations in the future
avoid.

GMP-compliant documentation: The basis of our work
Another focus was on GMP-compliant
Documentation. This is the backbone of our production, as it provides
Traceability and integrity of the manufacturing steps are guaranteed.
Although GMP-compliant documentation is already an integral part of our
daily work, it was important to us to understand the relevance and requirements
The participants received detailed instructions on how to
correct creation, maintenance and archiving of documentation. Special value
The importance of accuracy and consistency in documentation was emphasized
