Study Notes
Sections of Production Control
- Production control involves five sections: purchasing, inventory control, planning and scheduling, warehouse, and quality assurance.
Purchasing Section
- This section is responsible for procuring required materials for the company, both locally and internationally.
Inventory Control Section
- This section monitors and records all materials used in production, managing both raw material and finished product stock.
- It performs periodic checks on the stocks.
Planning and Scheduling Section
- This section coordinates with the marketing department to determine product requirements for supply.
- It then plans and schedules production, generating a manufacturing order (M.O.) to guide the production department.
- It ensures the production department manufactures the scheduled quantity within the allocated time limit.
Sections of the Warehouse Division
- The warehouse division consists of five sections: raw materials, in-process goods, finished products, returned goods, and dispensing.
- The raw materials section is further subdivided into three areas: quarantine, approved for use, and rejected.
- The finished products section uses barcode technology.
Raw Material Section
- The quarantine area holds materials that are subject to quality control testing and assays.
- These materials labeled with a yellow "QUARANTINE" label and cannot be directly used in production.
- Upon passing quality checks, materials are transferred to the approved for use area, replacing the quarantine label with a green label marked "APPROVED FOR USE."
- Materials failing to meet quality standards are transferred to the rejected area, replacing the quarantine label with a red "REJECTED" label.
Quality Control and Other Functions
- Quality control oversees the entire manufacturing process ensuring compliance with GMP standards.
- Other functions include contract manufacturing and analysis, complaints and product recall, and self-inspection.
Basic Requirements of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
- All manufacturing processes must be clearly defined, reviewed regularly based on experience, and proven to consistently produce medicines of the required quality, adhering to specifications.
- Critical steps in the manufacturing process and significant changes must be validated.
- GMP necessitates adequate facilities, including:
- Appropriately qualified and trained personnel
- Adequate premises and space
- Suitable equipment and services
- Correct materials, containers, and labels
- Approved procedures and instructions
- Suitable storage and transport
- Instructions and procedures must be written in an unambiguous language and specific to the provided facilities.
- Operators must be trained to execute procedures accurately.
- Records, both manual and digital, must be maintained during production. These records should demonstrate that all steps outlined in the defined procedures and instructions were followed, and that the quantity and quality of the product met expectations.
Customer-Focused Product Development
- Customer-focused product development is crucial for sales and profit growth, but it is essential to consider the costs and risks associated with launching new products.
The Product Life Cycle - Stage 2: Market Growth
- The market growth stage is characterized by accelerating demand and expansion of the total market size.
- It is also referred to as the "take-off stage" or the "market development stage."
- Successful new products typically experience a gradual increase in sales during the market development stage.
- At a certain point, consumer demand significantly increases, leading to a surge in sales, defining the take-off stage.
Quality Risk Management (QRM)
- QRM is an ongoing process for managing quality risks associated with a product throughout its life cycle.
- It aims to optimize the benefit-risk balance of the product.
- QRM involves systematic assessment, control, communication, and review of risks to product quality.
Principles of Quality Risk Management
- QRM relies on scientific knowledge and links risk evaluation to patient protection.
- The effort, formality, and documentation level of QRM should match the level of risk.
- QRM methodologies should be dynamic, iterative, and adaptable to change, with continuous improvement embedded in the process.
Quality Risk Management Overview
- QRM typically starts with identifying and assessing quality risks.
- Next, risks are analyzed and evaluated.
- This is followed by risk control strategies, such as risk reduction.
