Quality Risk Management (QRM) during medicinal products manufacturing is now becoming an integral part of quality management system (QMS). Most if not all regulatory authorities have revised their current good manufacturing practices (GMP) to incorporate the concept of risk assessment in every single process regardless to the criticality of the process. Different Procedures in pharmaceutical QMS like deviation control, change control, investigation, customer complaints handling, validation & qualification, product release, etc. consider the principles of risk assessment at all steps. Extensive research in this area shows that there is scarcity of research on quality risk management during early stages of medicinal products manufacturing including (1) procurement/supply chain, (2) logistics/warehousing and (3) raw materials dispensing. To cover the gap in the literature, three practical case studies has been studied by selecting one major step from each manufacturing stage and applied risk assessment following the procedure described in ICHQ9 and using Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) as risk assessment quality tool. As a result of this review, QRM during early stages of medicinal products manufacturing may be useful to avoid unnecessary complaints or delay during subsequent drug processing in the manufacturing site. Being proactive and taking all necessary measures to avoid any possible defects or mishandling is one of the major objectives of QRM and ultimately patient protection. This study shows a model solution for industry professionals and regulators to reduce the possible risks associated with early stages of medicinal products manufacturing thereby paving the way for significant business growth.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to recognize and model the enablers of supply chain quality risk management (SCQRM) through an empirical study in the Indian automotive companies. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review was conducted to extract the key enablers of quality management (QM) and risk management in the context of manufacturing supply chains. A grey-based DEMATEL method was employed to identify and model the key enablers of SCQRM. Findings The results of empirical study showed that the effectiveness of QM and risk management systems for automotive supply chain is driven by a set of common enablers that could be employed for developing dedicated SCQRM systems. The common causal factors in the model such as the involvement of top leaders, inter-firm communication and strategic-level alignment between supply chain members on both these issues clearly state that there is a need for a broader policy at an early stage. Practical implications It is crucial for the automotive companies to develop and implement structured systems for SCQRM keeping in view the impact of any unaddressed quality risk on missed production targets, vehicle recalls and safety hazards. Originality/value This study ascertains the key enablers of SCQRM with emblematic focus on automotive industry and identifies if there are commonalities in these enablers.

ICH is “International Conference on Harmonization” of technical requirements for registration of pharmaceuticals for human use. The goal of ICH is to discuss and establish common guidelines by bringing together three ICH regions i.e. USA, Japan and EU and to make information available on ICH, its activities and guidelines. The guidelines have become more relevant for Generic’s Drug Approval. Drug Development and manufactures are more and more global. Harmonization is considered more important than ever, as it facilitates work sharing, efficient use of resources and access to medicines. The objective of harmonization is meant for economical use of human, animal and other resources and the elimination of unnecessary delay in the global development and of availability of new medicines whilst maintaining safeguards on quality, safety and efficacy. The present discussion of the review is on ICH guidelines for quality control focussing mainly on Quality Risk Management (Q9). Quality control is a process that is used to ensure a certain level of quality in a product or service. It might include whatever action a business deems necessary to provide for the control and verification of certain characteristics of a product or service. Most often, it involves thoroughly examining and testing the quality of products or the results of services. The basic goal of this process is to ensure that the products or services that are provided meet specific requirements and characteristics, such as being dependable, satisfactory, safe and fiscally sound. Quality risk management is a systematic process for the assessment, control, communication and review of risks to the quality of the drug product across the product lifecycle. Two primary principles of quality risk management are: The evaluation of the risk to quality should be based on scientific knowledge and Ultimately linked to the protection of the patient; and The level of effort, formality, and documentation of the quality risk management process should be commensurate with the level of risk.

No-Touch Transfer (NTT) of pre-sterilised ready-to-use (RTU) containers is an alternative methodology that follows Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Quality Risk Management (QRM) principles. NTT de-bagging ejects contents from secondary bag packaging without direct contact with contents or exposure to an environment that is a lower grade than the zone being entered. The pre-sterilised containers and sterile barriers offer assured sterility at manufacture and are qualified to remain sterile through the supply chain and the stepwise NTT de-bagging process. This eliminates the requirement for in-process material disinfection steps for transfer into Grade A environments. The present article focuses on design qualification of pre-sterilised RTU container packaging, including definition of sterile barriers together with bioburden study data through the supply chain and simulated NTT. It completes a series of EJPPS articles to support peer-reviewed references on NTT. Together, these articles can be defined as end-to-end qualification of the NTT process, demonstrating a high level of assurance that sterility is maintained from manufacture to point of use. Key Words: Aseptic processing, Design qualification, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Life cycle, No-Touch Transfer (NTT), Pharmaceutical packaging, Pre-sterilised containers, Qualification, Quality by Design (QbD), Quality Risk Management (QRM), Ready-to-use (RTU), Supply chain
