Good manufacturing practices (GMP): “Planning for quality and control in microbiology”

Abstract

Good manufacturing practices with comprehensive design and proper implementation of the quality system infrastructure helps manufacturer to achieve quality objectives. Quality assurance covers various aspects of manufacturing and quality control process which ensures that products are manufactured consistently as per the quality standards. Quality assurance integrates cGMP and quality control along with environmental monitoring and occupational health and safety hazards. To implement quality management system effectively, manufacturer must have instructions, processes, and adequate resources relevant to the need of product. Monitoring and controlling the QMS not only measures the effectiveness, but helps for the continuous improvement. cGMP gives consumers a confidence that products are meeting required standards for release and safe for intended use. Compliance with basic requirements of cGMP elements ensures/assures that products have achieved quality attributes during manufacturing cycle. Quality assurance is the responsibility of all personnel engaged for the manufacturing and control within the organization.
