It ensure conformation to cGMP
requirements.
It helps to identify root cause of problem.
It maintains a company’s public image and
also that of the health care community.
It documents that the final product has
fallowed reliable manufacturing processes.
It documents that the process or activity in
control.

5. Types Of Validation
Following are five types of validation
1)Process Validation
2)Analytical Validation
3)Equipment Validation
4)Cleaning Validation
5)Vendor validation

6. Who is Vendor
 Definition : Vendor
“Is the authorised seller or the supplier
who provide the raw material(API),packaging
material and equipment to the pharmaceutical
organization for the production good quality of
product”

13. 03.Flow Process for sample analysis
Supplier selection
URS
Questionnaire
Receive sample form supplier with COA
Analysis / testing as per COA & URS
After passing analytical testing Plant Trials
Trial batches to QC for analysis

Assessment
Change control and Production
assessment follow five main steps-
1. Initiation of Change
2. Execution of Change
3. Evaluation of Change
4. Closure of the Temporary Change Control
Package
5. Preparation for Ongoing Monitoring
22

24. Cases
The following are some cases which
due to violations of GMP
1. The gentamicin sulphate case in which
unknown contamination leads to total
around 65 death in USA in 1994 and
