Editor's Notes
A lot of things have to come together…each of these steps are important and need skills, subsystems, etc. – some thoughts on most challenging…..Investigations ( to root cause ) and good verification and validation- People need the skills..but most importantly they need good judgment Finally – it is only as good as the records reflect . . .
One perspective is …. Industry struggled with adapting to the new QS as a system … came at it in parts…some with parallel implementation…more recently getting better at connecting the dots in the system…in the next slides…talk about some possible reasons
Is it easier for a smaller firm? …they face limited expert resources…people wear many hats… Larger firms … the complexity is multiplied by the number of products, locations, divisions, etc.
