Pharmaceutical
We are experienced in the design and implementation of validated projects to satisfy TGA and FDA audit requirements for the project implementation and on-going production.
Projects are implemented in accordance with Good Automated Manufacturing Practise (GAMP). Computer system validation following GAMP guidelines requires users and suppliers to work in concert so that responsibilities regarding the validation process are understood.
For users, GAMP provides a documented assurance that a system is appropriate for the intended use before it goes “live.” Suppliers can use GAMP to test for avoidable defects in the supplied system to ensure quality product leaves the facility.
