Creating Effective SOPs
How to Turn a Headache Into a Collaborative Success

An Interactive Workshop Presented by FDAnews
and David Dills, Regulatory & Compliance Consultant

 
What problem is cited in 60% of all FDA warning letters?

Hint #1: It's a process issue — within your power to control and change.
Hint #2: It spans multiple departments or divisions of your company.
Hint #3: It's likely something you use every week.

Give up?

It's SOPs. Not the lack of them, but how poorly they're written, communicated, monitored and enforced.

One former top FDA official recalls walking into dozens of companies and being shown stacks of SOPs.  But when he talked to lab and plant staff, the response was always the same: "What SOPs?" or, "Yeah, we saw them, but we're not sure what they mean."

Don't blame yourself, though. You’ve heard the old saying, "It takes a village to raise a child." Well ... It takes a company to write an SOP.

Finally, you and your colleagues have a chance to fix your broken processes ... educate your staff ... and get on the FDA's good side.
