It appears your organization has adopted a complex set of rules for its Quality Management System which is more bureaucratic [and draconian] than the QMS for a major international organization on the order of Abbott Laboratories.Thanks for the question on that. I was just discussing this with someone. there is no plan for what happens if someone leaves. I think that actually reduces salary expenses so that's a good thing for the financial group in the short term. I was just talking to my lab tech about a stability protocol for a product we put together and tested and decided not to go forward with because the material was too expensive. Our quality system and decision tree is so difficult to manage that we decided together it was easier to keep the stability study going for the product we know we are never going to make than to write hte justification for stopping the stability study and throwing away the product. Where does this make any sense at all? I really hate the fact I have been sucked into this kind of decision making. An error like an incorrect signature date can result in a major investigation into my quality ssytem with a major root cause analysis for something like someone signed the wrong year on a signature line. How did I go from being a MD-PhD in orthopedics and biomaterials to figuring out the root cause analysis for why someone didn't follow proper protocols for a signature on a management review meeting? I am so frustrated. I can not see how this is helping me run my clinical studies.
I'm well trained for my Job. MD-PhD with multiple successful GCP clnical studies, years of research experience and nearly 40 patents for nanoparticle biological hybrids. I'm a tenured professor of biomedical engineering and I love what I'm supposed to be doing. I hate digging into the quality system for the determination of a root cause for why a sales member was not trained. This stuff trees into massive bureaucracy that right now seems to be feeding on itself. "Why are employees not trained?" root cause, we have no employees, Why do we have no employees, we have no salary money, why do we have no salary money, we are spending massive resources on ISO and not getting our milestones completed. so that feedback looop just keeps going.
