Programme Description

Current Good Manufacturing Practices are, in some countries, enforced regulations for systems that assure proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities.

Even where it’s not strongly enforced, reputable manufacturers, especially of food and pharmaceuticals, should adopt the practices for their products quality, purity and strength by adequately controlling their manufacturing operations. This includes establishing strong quality management systems, use of quality raw materials only, establishing reliable standard operating procedures, detecting and investigating product quality deviations, and maintaining reliable testing laboratories.
