How do you make GMP documentation and records accessible to all stakeholders?

It's important to remember that these dms should be user friendly. While quality and regulatory will be the primary teams accessing records, all employees should be able to easily access them as well. An overcomplicated system that is not frequently used by all employees will not be used at all.

DMS indeed is the solution. Howbeit, like with any system, the trio of people, process and technology need to work in unison to ensure DMS remains relevant and sustains the test of time. I agree with the experts' views that the process of recording and retrieval should be as simple as possible and the technology has to be both robust yet flexible enough to upgrade as per evolving mandates of the Regulatory Agencies. But I personally think the most crucial cog in the wheel is the 'people' part. HRD would need to ensure fresher as well as refresher training are conducted in a periodic and effective manner. The onus also lies on them to work closely with the line leadership team to foster a culture where integrity stands supreme.

Document Management System (DMS) adoption is essential for efficiency and compliance in regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals and manufacturing Customization aligns DMS with unique organizational structures, while being compatible with systems such as LIMS and EBR combining them increases the data accuracy. Intensive training empowers users; real-time cross-site collaboration is increasingly important in a multi-site global environment. Remote document review and approval ensures efficiency and compliance. DMS is transformational, but its effectiveness depends on flexibility, integration, training, and global availability in regulated industries.

GMP Document must be managed with a validated compliant document management system or should interface appropriately with the primary laboratory informatics system to be easily findable, accessible, searchable, and have well-managed version control. GMP documents must also be concise and easily understandable with a standard format to alleviate unnecessary hurdles to the overall GXP process of bringing a product to market. Agreed on Naming Convention and complete categorization per the business functionalities, a critical success from proper document management.

Document management system is better option to create, store, organize, and access GMP documentation and records in a secure and standardized way.

All the things should be in a single software and all the users shall be allowed to read and take the execution document prints. Segregation of documents in a separate software will create the confusion during execution. Also other option in case of downtime is also required.

I believe it appropriate to put valid GMP information into a linked database from the Federal Register. As the information is part of the public domain. Relevant information could be disseminated to the public.

This must be a good document control for preparation and review of documents in a system. Also helpful for online monitoring and tracking the status of documents.

It's better that editable format shall be available in a same system so that user can download, edit and update the document. It should not be person specific as it can waste energy for taking approvals and download the document to edit.

Document acces policy is good but all the users must get access to execution annexure as user must not be dependent on authorized person. Authorization requires additional people for specific document category.

In my experience, I found it useful to organize control documents to specific structured template. For example, all Standard Operating Procedures would have the following section. 1) SOP title 2) Purpose 3) Acronyms 4) Materials 5) Procedural Steps 6) References 7) Revision History
