GAMP Guidelines & Good Practices Models

Guidelines - GAMPGood Automated Manufacturing Practices (GAMP) provides the Framework for Automated System ValidationCurrent version GAMP 5 emphasizes Risk Based Approach to Software Validation with Life Cycle Model

should ensure the following –

All up-dates / new development / implementation are in line with the Change Control ProceduresRisk Assessment is carried out for all up-dates / new development / implementationValidation documents (SOPs / Protocols / Specifications) are reviewed and updated periodically Audit the Validation Status of various systemsMonitor the Performance of Systems Periodically

Road Map To ComplianceFormulate Computer System Validation Policy – Top Line StatementForm the Core Team Formulate Validation Master PlanDefine IT policies & Procedures For New Systems Follow GAMP V Model – URS to PQFor Existing Systems
