SOP MANAGEMENT

Business Process

Solidify the consistency of your procedures

Life science organizations developing or manufacturing pharmaceutical products will typically create, maintain and execute large amounts of standard operational procedures (SOP). These written instructions document processes or repetitive activity that must be followed by assigned employees. The solid change control and deployment of SOPs are fundamental to achieve compliance excellence. It provides a major part of inspection readiness and enables frictionless operations across the organization.

Properly designed Standard Operating Procedures include step-by-step instructions as well as the following:

Related Processes

Audit Management

The increasing complexity and continuous changes in the regulatory environment push organizations to seek a more holistic and highly integrated approach to their audit management processes. Auditing is a vital function within a pharmaceutical company.

CAPA Management

To understand how to achieve quality in a regulated industry, you need to know that corrective and preventative actions (CAPA) are essential elements of quality management in GxP environments. The CAPA process is a commonly used tool to achieve operational excellence by identifying and mitigating non-conformances and deviations, both internally and externally.

Change Control

Change management is specifically designed to evaluate, redesign, and implement new business processes, where processes are defined in standard operating procedures (SOPs). A well implemented change management rewards the company with improved business processes, efficient workflows, decreased project overhead, a better risk profile and an improved company culture.

Deviations Management

The management of deviations is not just a GMP concept, it spans the entire product life cycle, including Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and Process Deviation Management.

High Content Screening

High-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA) or cellomics, is a method that is used in early development stages and drug discovery to typically identify substances such as small molecules, peptides, or relevant RNAi that can lead into development candidates for future medicines.

Image Annotation

With the development of diagnostic imaging devices, large amounts of digital high-res and 3D images are generated every day. The requirements of effective indexing and searching image are growing rapidly. Image annotation is an effective way for content-based image retrieval.

CRO Collaboration

The last few years have seen tremendous consolidation in both the pharmaceutical and contract research industries. The impact among pharma companies has created a heightened demand for productivity.

Remote Image Analysis

Imaging data in diagnostics and research is growing at an unprecedented rate, coming from all kinds of sources. The con-focal and high-resolution microscopy, artificial intelligence, and any other new computer-tomographic (CT) technologies create vast amount of data. When researchers start to collaborate over distances with imaging centers, using diagnostic services over internet connections, the bandwidth and computation power easily exceeds the capabilities in remote areas.

Inspection Management

Regulatory agencies conduct routine inspections during active studies. In this case, documentation must be available and complete, ensuring that the study was conducted following the protocol using the principles of Good Clinical Practices (GCP).

SOP Management

Raw Data Management

A clear understanding of how RAW DATA is defined, recorded, and retained in the laboratory record is essential when it comes to compliance with the Good Laboratory Practices regulations. RAW DATA in laboratories occur in various fluctuating formats and versions in a large amount of laboratory devices, LIMS and quality management systems.

Training Management

Post implementation training services relate often to process changes. With training services implementations are ready for success. The Learning Management System (LMS) typically handles the processes related to ramp-up and adoption planning after larger implementations.

eTMF and Archiving

To comply with regulatory government policies, clinical research organizations need to keep records of essential documents that are stored in the trial master files (TMF). The TMF allows independent auditors and regulatory authorities to monitor and evaluate the quality of the data produced by a clinical study.
