Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are a set of guidelines and regulations that ensure the production and manufacturing of safe and high-quality products, including food, drugs, and medical devices. These practices are designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product.
GMP guidelines provide a framework for the design, control, and monitoring of manufacturing processes, facilities, and equipment. They cover areas such as personnel training, equipment maintenance, product quality control, and record-keeping. GMP compliance is enforced by regulatory agencies, and failure to comply can result in penalties or product recalls.
Good Manufacturing Practice has been defined as: "The part of Quality Assurance, which is aimed at ensuring that products are consistently manufactured to a quality appropriate to their intended use."
This PowerPoint presentation covers the fundamentals of Good Manufacturing Practices followed world-wide by Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical, Food and Dairy industries. It has over 175 slides and is fully editable to suit your business and training needs.
