Automating GMPs: The GAMP

 
  September 30, 2010  
     
 
CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
October 26, 2010 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)


Who Should Attend
This online training is intended toward professionals in the Pharmaceutical, Biologics and Medical Device industries. It will be especially valuable to Regulatory managers, Production managers, IT managers and their staff members. Any personnel wishing to learn more about the basics and the future trends of GAMP will benefit from this training.

Description
As the production environment, laboratory, and quality processes of the pharmaceutical, medical device, and biologics industries become increasing automated, regulatory agencies throughout the world are struggling to keep up with appropriate controls of computer systems. The Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) are quickly evolving into Good AUTOMATED Manufacturing Practices (GAMPS).

This 90-minute accredited training course follows the efforts of the USFDA, the EU's EMEA, Australia's TGA, and other agencies to update and develop appropriate GAMPS that will both provide a template for today's automated systems and remain sufficiently flexible to handle tomorrow's developments. This course reviews those efforts, identifies the key elements of GAMPs, and looks at the future developments on the immediate horizon.

Module 1: Automating the GMPs:
  • Need for computer-related regulations
  • US GMPs + 21 CFR Part 11
  • EMEA GAMPs (GAMP5)
  • Moving toward harmonization

Module 2: The Key Elements:
  • Audit trails
  • Electronic signatures
  • Automated QA/QC: PAT
  • Data Integrity
  • Validation

Module 3: GAMP Future:
  • QbD
  • More Automation = general guidelines
  • US: New GMPs incorporating automation
