Secrets to Writing Effective SOPs
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are a critical ingredient in an effective and efficient Quality Management System. SOPs are typically one of the first things an investigator asks for in an inspection. Well-written SOPs send a message to the FDA and Notified Bodies (NBs) that your QMS is complete, accurate, and followed. More importantly, well-written SOPs ensure that your personnel can consistently and accurately follow your processes resulting in correct outcomes and quality work. This webinar will help you structure your QMS and develop accurate, clear, unambiguous SOPs.
