Why a Strong QMS Matters in Pharmaceuticals
A QMS is a structured framework of processes, responsibilities, and tools designed to ensure consistent production of safe and effective pharmaceutical products. It fosters a culture of quality, minimizes risks, and supports compliance with global regulations. Zenovel’s QMS solutions focus on:
The pharmaceutical QMS landscape is rapidly changing, and organizations can leverage Zenovel’s demonstrated ability to help manage the ever-complex regulatory environment toward sustainable success.
Zenovel’s Implementation of Top QMS Optimization Tips
Zenovel enhances Quality Management System (QMS) performance by incorporating best practices from industry-leading frameworks, ensuring compliance, and scalability. It incorporates strategies for pharmaceutical quality management to improve QMS performance.
1. Standardized Training for Technical Writers
Tip: Adopt consistent training for technical writers to create clear compliant documentation.
Zenovel, a consulting company, trains technical writers, including process mapping, Plain Language writing, and regulatory requirements so they can develop properly sequenced Standard Operating Procedures and Work Instructions that are clear and easily understood, and that will pass an audit. Zenovel’s documentation complies with the Plain Writing Act’s requirements for Plain Language to meet clarity and usability standards globally, and reduce misinterpretation and errors.
2. Defined Document Hierarchy
Tip: Establish a clear document hierarchy to standardize the function and content of controlled documents.
Zenovel’s implementation involves a document hierarchy, with SOPs covering departmental tasks and WIs detailing job-specific tasks. This structure ensures consistency, meets regulatory requirements, and eliminates ambiguity. The QMS also includes templates for each document type, saving time in creation and review.
3. Single Source of Truth
Tip: Stick to one source of truth to avoid possibly conflicting information across multiple documents.
Zenovel utilizes a cloud-based electronic QMS system, to centralize all GMP-related information in one location, ensuring data integrity and facilitating more efficient audits. This system allows Zenovel to update SOPs, WIs, and forms once, minimizing discrepancies and ensuring a single repository for all information.
4. Controlled Templates for Consistency
Tip: Use controlled templates for all quality documents to ensure uniformity.
Zenovel offers pre-approved templates for SOPs, WIs, forms, and reports, tailored to client needs and regulatory requirements. These templates include standardized formats, fonts, and language styles, ensuring compliance with ICH Q10 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. This consistency accelerates document creation and approval while maintaining audit readiness.
5. Comprehensive Company Style Guide
Tip: Develop a company Style Guide to standardize writing styles and formats.
Zenovel creates customized Style Guides for documentation, outlining fonts, bullet usage, tables, and active voice writing. These guides enable clear, regulator-friendly content and align with ISO 9001:2015 principles, ensuring functional and professional documentation.
6. Training for Document Reviewers and Approvers
Tip: Train reviewers and approvers to evaluate documents for readability and compliance.
Zenovel trains document reviewers and approvers in company Style Guide and GMP requirements, focusing on usability and regulatory compliance, ensuring reviews are clear, functional, and aligned with end-user needs like operators and regulators.
7. Leadership Alignment on QMS Goals
Tip: Ensure senior management understands the distinction between personal preferences and QMS functionality.
Zenovel’s commitment to quality management systems (QMS) is centered on senior leadership, prioritizing compliance and efficiency. The company fosters a culture of quality, prioritizing end-user needs and regulatory standards over subjective preferences.
8. Ongoing Leadership for Writing Standards
Tip: Maintain strong leadership to sustain writing standards over time.
Zenovel assigns dedicated QMS leaders to oversee documentation standards, drive continuous improvement, monitor compliance, provide training, and ensure QMS initiatives remain a priority, preventing resource fade and maintaining high standards.
9. Leveraging Professional Technical Writers
Tip: Use professional technical writers to enhance document quality and free up SMEs.
Zenovel employs professional technical writers specializing in pharmaceutical documentation, allowing Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to focus on core tasks like manufacturing, while writers translate complex processes into clear, compliant documents, improving document quality and reducing production downtime.
10. Respecting the Role of SOPs and WIs
Tip: Treat SOPs and WIs as critical business tools to ensure compliance and efficiency.
Zenovel emphasizes the importance of SOPs and WIs in quality assurance, training, and error reduction, conducting meticulous reviews to ensure clarity and relevance. Our QMS solutions speed up training, reduce waste, and ensure global standard compliance.
