Quality Reborn, Anders Vinther Dec 2023

Quality Reborn, Anders Vinther

Level 3

It is time for Quality leaders to not only fulfill the traditional role of ensuring cGMP compliance within the company but also take the Quality profession to the level of business leadership like Deming did in Japan after World War II. FDA has recently stated that they have low confidence in quality management maturity of the pharmaceutical industry.

For quality leaders to also become good business leaders we must educate them in ways that are different from what we currently do. The education should be in the 6 areas

  • Visibly Demonstrating Responsibility of Quality
  • Risk-Informed Decision Making and Communication
  • Engaging …

Achieving Warranted Acceptance Of Biotechnologies, Emily Grayek, Baruch Fischhoff Dec 2023

Achieving Warranted Acceptance Of Biotechnologies, Emily Grayek, Baruch Fischhoff

Level 3

The U.S. has faced long-standing shortages of generic drugs, causing negative health effects and spikes in drug costs. To address these shortages, investments in critical technologies and policies to support their adoption will be needed. The success of these technologies and policies depends on public acceptance. We studied public acceptance using the mental model approach, which identifies gaps in understanding that can be addressed with communications. We began with semi-structured interviews with experts in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Based on these interviews, we developed and conducted surveys of the general public, physicians, and pharmacists. Similar strategies could be applied to improve communications …

Emerging Technologies: Empowering People To Capture, Share And Transfer Tacit Knowledge, Donncadh J. Nagle, Melanie J. Adams Jun 2022

Emerging Technologies: Empowering People To Capture, Share And Transfer Tacit Knowledge, Donncadh J. Nagle, Melanie J. Adams

Level 3

ICH Q10 was published in 2008, and presented a model for an effective Pharmaceutical Quality System (PQS). However, the industry still has some way to go in embracing and implementing its principles in order to achieve greater product realisation, to establish and maintain a state of control, and to facilitate continual improvement.

ICH Q10 introduced us to two key enablers: Knowledge Management (KM) and Quality Risk Management (QRM).[1] While the pharmaceutical industry has made progress in implementing the principles of QRM since 2008, there has been significantly slower progress in implementing knowledge management practices. However, there may be solutions …


Managing Risk And Knowledge: Frameworks To Guide Knowledge-Enabled Technology Transfer, Martin Lipa Dr, Anne Greene Jun 2022

Managing Risk And Knowledge: Frameworks To Guide Knowledge-Enabled Technology Transfer, Martin Lipa Dr, Anne Greene

Level 3

Technology transfer is not only about the transfer of technology, but also about the transfer of knowledge, as evidenced by definitions of KM within the biopharma industry and beyond. However, knowledge transfer is often not well structured and its effectiveness – in particular for tacit knowledge (i.e., know how) – is an opportunity for improvement which can lead to many benefits. This article profiles recent research into the topic of improving knowledge transfer during technology transfer and presents several recently developed frameworks for improving such. The article furthermore explains how the frameworks can be co-deployed in support of robust knowledge …


Exploring Pathways From Data To Knowledge To Insights In The Pharmaceutical Industry: ‘Introducing The Pharmaceutical Knowledge Ecosystem’, Melanie J. Adams, Paige E. Kane, Anne Greene (Editor), Martin Lipa Feb 2022

Exploring Pathways From Data To Knowledge To Insights In The Pharmaceutical Industry: ‘Introducing The Pharmaceutical Knowledge Ecosystem’, Melanie J. Adams, Paige E. Kane, Anne Greene (Editor), Martin Lipa

Level 3

The ecosystem of how the pharmaceutical industry acquires data, transforms these data into tangible knowledge, and derives valuable insights throughout the process, is highly complex. Data, information, knowledge, and the resulting insights, are necessary to support decision- making, manage risk, problem solve, ensure product realisation, enable continual improvement, and enhance operational effectiveness. Building on the fundamental concepts established in the well-known Data Information Knowledge Wisdom (DIKW) hierarchy, this paper reviews the basic concepts involved in the DIKW pathway and begins to relate these concepts to both established capabilities (e.g., PAT), existing requirements (e.g., data integrity), and emerging trends in the …

Level 3

This paper explores the emergence of the importance of knowledge in Risk-Based Decision Making (RBDM) and Quality Risk Management (QRM) through a detailed review of ICH Q9(R1) (Step 2) and presents a framework(the RKI cycle) to integrate knowledge and risk and associated six principles to operationalise it.


“Transitioning Organisations From A Data Quagmire To Knowledge Nirvana Through The Digital Thread”, David Twohig, Barry Heavey Dec 2021

“Transitioning Organisations From A Data Quagmire To Knowledge Nirvana Through The Digital Thread”, David Twohig, Barry Heavey

Level 3

Historically, organisations have managed product data in a combination of Microsoft Office, Sharepoint and Document Management Systems. In this paper, we explore how different technologies can be leveraged to create digital product profiles, and in doing so structure data to enable effective knowledge management.
