PHOENIX—Virgo Publishing announced the new official GMP (good manufacturing practice) training program for SupplySide West, Oct. 19 to 23 at the Venetian & Sands Expo in Las Vegas, will be developed and presented by DBA Analytical, an NSF International company.
The first course, “Documentation Management for GMP Compliance," is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 19 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. This full-day training course will cover the development and management of documentation integral to 21 CFR 111 including standard operating procedures, batch production records, master manufacturing records and much more. Attendees will learn how to write a standard operating procedure and the importance of their implementation; the importance of the accuracy and maintenance of Batch Production Records (BPRs) and Master Manufacturing Records (MMRs); details on what should be included in an SOP for laboratory operations, manufacturing operations, packaging and labeling, holding and distribution, returned dietary supplements, customer complaints; and more.
The second course, “FDA GMP Inspection Readiness," will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 20 from 8 a.m. to noon. This half-day training course will discuss the FDA inspection process; critical considerations and steps to accomplish before an inspection takes place; management of the process and issues that arise during an actual FDA inspection; and essential follow-up activities to ensure a positive ending to this inspection and good positioning of your company for future inspections.
The content for both courses is based on the results from initial FDA GMP inspections. The courses are geared to professionals involved in dietary supplement manufacturing, labeling, management, auditing, quality control/assurance, laboratory operations and regulatory affairs.
