Incidents & Deviations of Technology Transfer

v9991

Trusted Information Resource
We are all well conversant with the need/importance of 'investigation' and 'CAPA'; hence they will always be in place ; Further, FDA would not approve the product without appropriate reviews/acceptance criteria.

The point is
what is the approach of organization/industry-practices in handling these incidents/deviations.
1) are they (incidents/deviations) looked upon as learning processes towards establishing a robust process/product. (treat them as stepping stones)
OR
2) Are (incidents/deviations) looked upon as measure of R&D performance measure. (right first time, effectiveness of R&D processes etc.,--> practically speaking they are made to look like somebody's SIN!)

3) How to draw the line between above two approaches. (criteria and parameters )

[A quick note... here...
i) am referring to the 'tweaks' required to process/materials etc., during the tech.transfer and other operational problems/break downs are discounted
ii) tech.transfer... i am referring to the first few batches executed in the manufacturing environment which go towards filing/validations.]

I would say that 1 and 2 are not mutually exclusive. However, 1 is a more healthy approach but depends heavily on building a culture and supporting process to accomplish it.

The better questions are:
What is a status of your validation process?
What is the reason (root cause) for "incidents"?

Please separate the training/learnings of the new technology from equipment or process problems. If process is solid, you should't have "tweaks"...

v9991,

I strongly recommend you to refer Q10 - Pharmaceutical Quality Management that I have attached. :)
