Writing and Enforcing Effective SOPs



Writing SOPs or procedural documents can be challenging at times. However, writing SOPs is overall a straightforward process. However, enforcing what you already created and implemented in the pipeline is another story. The term SOP is very obvious. We have seen "clearly written description of how specific tasks are to be done." Another satisfactory definition would be "detailed written instructions that achieve the uniformity of the performance of a specific function." Is the firm doing what the regulations specify? Is the firm doing what their procedures specify? If you are medical device or a pharmaceutical manufacturer, these definitions come as no surprise because when it comes to FDA regulations and guidance documents "establish" means to define, to document (in writing or electronically) and to implement.

This Seminar will provide valuable assistance and guidance to pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology manufacturers and other firms in the life sciences industry who require a refresher session on writing and enforcing their own SOPs and internal procedures or for those new to this area who desire to gain a better understanding of the SOP process.
