Self inspection, commonly referred to as an internal audit, is a fundamental part of implementing, maintaining and improving your Pharmaceutical Quality System. Written into the PIC/S Guide to GMP as chapter 9 due to its criticality, Pharmaceutical manufacturers must ensure their self inspection programme is effective.
Self inspections deliver value to all GMP companys' quality systems - irresepective of maturity - and if the programme is deployed throughout the organisation, it can serve to educate personnel, confirm ownership of various quality system elements, optimise business processes and ultimately drive continuous improvement and reduced costs.
