4.1 QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: CONCEPT OF QUALITY
4.1.1 Introduction
Quality Management System (QMS) is an important aspect for the pharmaceutical
industry for maintaining the quality and safety for their products and services. QMS relies on the regulations and guidelines to maintain the effective quality in pharmaceutical industries. According to US FDA, the international harmonized guidance is intended to assist pharmaceutical manufacturers by describing a model for an effective quality management system for the pharmaceutical industry. This guidance is referred as ICH (International Council for Harmonization) guideline.
4.1.2 Quality
Quality can be defined according to US FDA as; “A measure of a product’s or service’s ability to satisfy the customer’s stated or implied needs.”
4.1.3 Quality in Pharma Industry
Due to the effect of globalization, market competition, cost constrains, supply and
demand, complexity of supply chain system and development of international guidelines and regulations, the environment of pharmaceutical industry is changing day by day. The quality, safety and efficacy cannot be ignored or compromised as pharma-industry is directly concerned with the patients to provide them zero defect products.
