Quality is of paramount importance in AGP
operations. We ensure the quality of drugs manufactured by AGP are in
compliance with local regulatory and cGMP/cGLP requirements and do not place
patients at risk due to inadequate safety, quality or efficacy. To achieve the
quality objective reliably, we have designed and comprehensively implemented an
independent Quality Management System, supervised by qualified staff provided
with all essential equipment and facilities, all changes and findings are fully
documented with the quality impact analysis. The effectiveness of the system is
constantly monitored and assessed.
How do we ensure Quality in manufacturing?
Developed standards derived from
-
Scientific Principles.
-
Local & International Regulations
-
Industry Trends & Best Practices
Developed Quality procedures related to standards;
People
Quality
Production
Material
Laboratories
Facilities, Utilities & Equipments.
At AGP the Quality Management is divided in to two sections on the basis of
their functions.
-
Quality Assurance
-
Quality Control
Quality Assurance
AGP Quality Assurance ensures:
-
The drugs are designed and developed in compliance with the cGMP and local
regulatory requirements.
-
Each and every step of all the GMP operations is an approved procedure, clearly
specified in a written form and complies with cGMP requirements.
-
All necessary controls on starting materials, intermediate products, bulk
products and finished products are carried out. Throughout the manufacturing
process, in-process checks are carried out at regular intervals to ensure the
quality of the finished product.
-
All necessary calibrations and validations are carried out before placing the
product in the market. Validation studies are conducted for important equipment
and machines, method of manufacture, method of analysis and cleaning procedures
in accordance with predefined protocols.
-
Finished products are not supplied or sold before authorized personnel have
certified that each production batch has been produced and controlled in
accordance with the requirements of cGMP and conformed to the required
specification and standards.
-
The effectiveness of the quality management system is checked at appropriate
intervals through self inspections and audits.
-
All products which are sold in the market are monitored through a comprehensive
Post Marketing Surveillance System. In case of any complaints from the market,
proper investigation is carried out to discover the root cause of the
compliant. Appropriate preventive and corrective measures are taken promptly in
order to prevent recurrence.
-
Training and development is one of the important aspects at AGP. Each and every
individual when becomes the member of AGP family and involves in GMP operations
undergoes training for Good Manufacturing Practices, Good Lab Practices and
Good Warehouse Practices.
Quality Control
The Quality Control department has adequate facilities and approved procedures
for sampling, inspection and testing starting materials, packaging materials,
intermediates, bulk and finished products.
-
To perform analysis of all the materials there are latest, sensitive, delicate,
and dedicated modern lab equipment available in QC lab which is operated by a
team of qualified & trained analysts.
-
The analytical documents after the completion of analysis passed through
certain independent checks and finally audited by Quality Assurance for its
transparency, correctness and completeness.
-
All necessary equipments like Fourier Transmittance Infra Red (FTIR), High
Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Ultra Violet Spectrophotometer etc.,
are available for the test and analysis of drugs. The protocols for the test
and analysis of the drugs including their validation, where applicable, are
available.
-
The stability testing of new products is carried out and their shelf life is
determined before placing the product in the market. Products already marketed
are also tested for their stability as per predefined procedures.
-
A separate Microbiological laboratory is available which is well equipped with
facilities for microbiological assays, sterility testing, raw material and
finished products testing, endotoxin testing and environmental control.
-
Environmental monitoring of sterile and non sterile areas is carried out
regularly to ensure the proper ambience.
-
All waste generated throughout the process are disposed through waste
management system to keep the environment pollution free.
