Quality and Compliance from the Regulators’ Perspective

• What are regulators looking for when they engage with QA/QC executives and other senior leaders? How can industry facilitate these interactions?
• Thinking about your processes and facilities from the point of view of the inspector: What are you taking for granted based on familiarity or habit or tradition that would not apply to a fresh pair of eyes?
• Highlighting best practices to make ongoing documentation a powerful quality and compliance tool for the future
• Using compliance as a starting point: What does exceeding expectations look like, and how should pharmaceutical manufacturers stay ahead of that moving target in perpetuity?
