Why it matters
Many GMP violations can be traced to human errors. Improving systems and processes can lead to a significant reduction in these errors, and aid in GMP compliance. This includes identifying error-prone areas, simplifying instructions, better data management, and capability-based assignments. GMP training is important to introduce workers to possible sources of errors and practices that can minimize the same.
Who is it for
This module is required training for all new employees and is a good refresher for all existing employees involved in GMP functions.
