cGMP 101: Translation of cGMPs into Facility Design Requirements

Current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMPs, provide for systems that assure proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities. Adherence to the cGMP regulations assures the identity, strength, quality, and purity of drug products by requiring that manufacturers of medications adequately control manufacturing operations. In this presentation, experts in cGMP facility design from Precis Engineering, Kristina Pumphrey, PE, Tim Lisle, AIA, and John Volence, PE, CEM will discuss the fundamentals of cGMPs and how they translate into pharmaceutical facility design requirements imposed by the FDA. This presentation is best suited for the pharmaceutical professional who would like to broaden their understanding of cGMPs in facility design.
