Good Manufacturing Practices
Karthik Penamala
What is GMP?
 Good Manufacturing
Practice is a set of
regulations, codes, and
guidelines for the
manufacture of drug
substances and drug
products, medical devices,
in vivo and in vitro
diagnostic products, and
foods.
Fig.4 GMP handbooks for every industry
 Good Manufacturing Practices are enforced in the United
States by the FDA
 In the United Kingdom by the Medicines and Healthcare
Products Regulatory Agency
 GMPs are enforced in Australia by the Therapeutically Goods
Administration
 In India by the Ministry of Health, multinational and/or
foreign enterprises
 Many underdeveloped countries lack GMPs
Good Manufacturing Practices
Worldwide Enforcement
1941 Initiation of GMP
 Sulfathiaziole tablets
contaminated with phenobarbital
 1941 - 300 people died/injured

DOCUMENTATION
“A GOOD documentation is an
ESSENTIAL part of Quality
Assurance System and relates to ALL aspects of
G.M.P.”
Clearly written documentation prevents error
from spoken communication and permits
tracing of back history.
 It provides assurance that quality related
activities are carried out exactly the way they
have been planned and approved
 The achievement of conformity and quality
improvement
 Responsibilities and authorities are identified
 Ensure that authorized persons have all
information necessary for release
91
PURPOSE
 Forms the basis for improvement
 Uniformity & consistency in carrying out activities
 Audit trail (traceability).
 Written instructions/guidance/forms to all personnel
to know WHAT’,WHEN and ‘HOW’ to carry out an
activity.
•Evidence to regulatory agencies and customers for
conformance to G.M.P
•A defense in an event of legal matters.
92
PURPOSE
“GOOD Documentation is the
PROOF of
what You Do”
93
WHAT IS DOCUMENTATION ?
94
Not documented
=
NOT DONE!
In God we trust,
all others show documented
evidence".
•Can you reconstruct an experiment after 6 months by your
note?
* Is your work obvious and clear for your supervisor?
* Make sure nothing is suspicious!
 Document is :
complete history of each batch
from starting materials to finished products
Records the activities for :
 maintenance
 storage
 quality control
 primary distribution
 specific matter related to GMP
95
WHAT IS DOCUMENTATION ?
 Documentation is the key to operating a company in
compliance with GMP requirements.
 All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted
by company for its quality system should be
documented in a systematic, orderly and
understandable manner in the form of policies and
procedures.
96
WHAT IS DOCUMENTATION ?
97
WHY DOCUMENTS ARE SO IMPORTANT?
What is being made?
Most of us when
attempting a task
need some sort of
documentation
98
WHY DOCUMENTS ARE SO
IMPORTANT?
“If You Didn't Document It,
You Didn't Do It.”
-FDA
99
WHY DOCUMENTS ARE SO IMPORTANT?
100
WHY DOCUMENTS ARE SO IMPORTANT?
• DOCUMENTATION IS A CORNER STONE OF GMP
• Communication - everyone must understand what they
have to do - PROVIDES INSTRUCTION
• Cost - the business must know how much things cost.
• Audit trail-We must be able to find out what happened-
PROVIDES FULL TRACEABLE HISTORY
• CONTROLS DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE.
101
DOCUMENTATION - Should be:
• DESIGNED
• PREPARED
• REVIEWED
• APPROVED
• DISTRIBUTED WITH CARE
• REVIEWED PERIODICALLY
• CLEAR
• WRITTEN IN SHORT SENTENCES
• IMPERATIVE FOR INSTRUCTIONS
• REMOVED IF OBSOLETE
• CHANGED WITH APPROVAL
• SECURED BY BACK UP FOR ELECTRONIC VERSIONS
• RETRIEVEABLE
Broadly, all documents
relating to quality fall in to
the following categories:
 Quality Manual
 Quality Procedures
 Supporting Documents
or
Work Instructions
 Quality Records
