Principles in quality assurance, part 4: Putting it all together

Abstract

This is the fourth and final part of the Principles in Quality Assurance series. Previous articles discussed the need for steering principles, the definition and application of GLP concepts, and the larger context of a model for effective Quality Assurance. The preceding paper proposed the use of the "Grip/Build/Engage" (GBE) model as a structure to improve the impact of Quality Assurance, giving an overview as well as some details of the "Grip" phase - defining story, structure and standards for Quality Assurance. This current part will review the other components of the GBE model and how Quality Assurance engage to produce the maximum positive impact. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
