PREAMBLE
Risk: A situation involving exposure to danger E.g.: Driving with out wearing helmet
Accident: An unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury
Risk Management: A systematic process for the assessment, control, communication and review of risks.

Former methods for Quality Risk Management
Methods of risk management in earlier days:
Trends review Check lists Maps Flow Charts Compilation of observations

Potential areas for Risk Management application
Documentation [SOPs, Batch records etc.] Training [Schedules and effectiveness] Quality defects [Complaints, deviations, OOS etc.] Audits [Compliance] Periodic reviews [Revalidation assessment] Change controls [Impact assessment] Facilities, Equipment and Utilities [Components, maintenance ] Material management [Receipt, storage and distribution] Packaging and labeling [Container closure system and
labeling]

Approaches to Quality Risk Management
In general we are using two approaches to manage the risks ...
Pro active: Identify the treat exposure areas to mitigate the potential for loss, before the loss occurs.
E.g.: Analysis before implementation.
Reactive: Investigate the treat exposure areas to identify the potential source for loss and its control, after the loss occurs.
E.g.: Failure investigations.

METHODS FOR RISK ASSESSMENT
Qualitative: The ‘What’ analysis Quantitative: The ‘How much’
analysis
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
12
Severity and Probability are simple concepts?
Which consequence is more severe?
300 lives lost in single, fiery plane crash. 300 lives lost on roads over a weekend. 300 lives potentially lost from cancer within the next 20 years
Which probability is probable?
What does a “30% chance of rain tomorrow” mean? 30% of the days like tomorrow will have at least a trace of rain. 30% of the area will have rain tomorrow. 30% of the time tomorrow, it will rain.

Calculation of Risk Priority Number….

Risk Priority Number (RPN) = P X D X S
RPN Scale:
Rating scale for Risk:
Low: 0 to 9 Moderate: 10 to 18 High: 19 to 27

Basic Risk Management Tools…
Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA); Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis
(FMECA); Fault Tree Analysis (FTA); Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
(HACCP); Hazard Operability Analysis (HAZOP); Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA);
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
18
Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) concept…
FMEA provides for an evaluation of potential failure modes for processes and their likely effect on outcomes and/or product performance. Once failure modes are established, risk reduction can be used to eliminate, contain, reduce or control the potential failures. FMEA relies on product and process understanding. FMEA methodically breaks down the analysis of complex processes into manageable steps. It is a powerful tool for summarizing the important modes of failure, factors causing these failures and the likely effects of these failures.
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
19
Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) Process….
Identify an area where risk exists. Describe the system and function Create a block or process flow diagram indicating
relationships within the process Create a worksheet containing information about the
system (related block diagram) What is important is that you have a process to
analyze potential failure modes (i.e. problems that could happen) AND the potential effects of that failure on your process.
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
20
STEP #1: Selecting the High Risk Process
Examples of how you can do this: Lengthy process with more stages. High risk of failures in the process. Top failed product in the history. Processes that are heavily dependent on
human intervention. Product manufacturing in the oldest facility. Process/Facility with rapid changes.
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
21
STEP #2: Forming the assessment team
The assessment team should be Subject matter expert. Cross functional. To cover all levels. Solid understanding to the process being
assessed. Well experienced on the process being assessed. Well qualified with strong analytical skills.
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
22
STEP #3: Diagram the process
Map the process with flow charting Clearly define the process with simple steps. Don’t skip the critical steps during mapping. Determine how things intended to work Vs. how
thing actually working. Consult the experts to determine the best
practices for the process. Allow team to the work site to observe the process
steps before mapping of process diagram.
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
23
STEP #4: Identify the potential failure modes
Process can have multiple failure modes and each failure mode can have multiple effects.
Address the following questions during failure modes identification. What could fail with this step? (Failure modes) Why would this failure occur? (Causes) What could happen if failure occurs? (Effects)
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
24
STEP #5: Assess the failure modes and Causes
Risk mitigation requires an understanding of the Severity, probability and detestability of the exposure.
Use clear scale for rating of risk consistently. Keep the scales simple and ensure they are
appropriate to the exposure and organizations risk tolerance.
Causes identification should be transparent to mitigate the risk effectively.
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
25
STEP #6: Assessment of critical failure modes
The highest RPN’s should be focused on first and should be considered as critical.
Ask the following questions during assessment
What might cause the failure to occur? When might the failure occur? Where might the failure occur? Why might the failure occur?
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
26
STEP #7: Redesign the process
Considerations for the redesignation of the process. If identified the critical failure mode. If inadequate controls are exists. If existing process not robust.
Direct the redesignated process prior to its wide spread implementation.
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
27
Frame work for Failure Mode Effect Analysis
Assesses the steps of the process and identify where the problems may occur.
Identify consequences of each failure mode should it occur.
Scores the exposures quantifiably. The highest RPN’s should be focused on first. Assists with better understanding of the process. Brain storming is the critical to the process.
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
28
Concerns regarding QRM implementation
Hiding risks Writing half the truth (e.g. in an
investigation report) A means of removing industry’s obligation
to comply with regulatory requirements Both Companies & Inspectors have to think
and not simply follow black and white rules
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
29
Conclusions for ICH Q9
Over all: Positive Contribution to patient protection Further develops Quality Risk Management awareness,
that is already part of industry and regulatory culture
Ongoing change in behaviour Identifying risks can be positive A long list of identified risks that are assessed and
controlled provides high quality capability Awareness of quality risks
“Risk-based approach” A potential of risks remains - No “Zero” risk!
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
30
Change in behavior….
From tick-box approach for compliance
Towards systematic risk-based thinking
GMP TRAINING – SYMED LABS
31
Conclusion
The weakest link in the
chain will no longer.... be a
problem. The use of Quality Risk Management is mandatory is an expectation of EU & PICs GMP
However, if you don’t use it,
you will not gain the benefits
