Quality Risk Management Essentials

Every site manages risk. Quality risk management is the difference between managing it by habit and managing it by a method you can explain to an inspector, a Qualified Person or yourself in a year's time.

A short, complete course on quality risk management as EU GMP expects it to work: the two principles, a risk assessment that starts with a proper question, control, communication and review, choosing the right tool and level of formality, and building it into deviations, change control and supplier management so that the assessment informs the decision rather than following it.

What the course teaches and assesses

  • Apply the principles: Explain what QRM is and where EU GMP asks for it, use the words risk, harm and hazard correctly, and match effort to the level of risk.
  • Assess a risk properly: Start with a risk question that can be answered, the right team and the facts, then identify, analyse and evaluate against criteria set in advance.
  • Control, communicate and review: Reduce a risk to an acceptable level without creating a new one, accept what remains on purpose, tell the people who act on it, and reopen the assessment when events call for it.
  • Choose the tool and the formality: Pick FMEA, fault tree analysis, HACCP, risk ranking or a basic method to fit the question, and set formality by uncertainty, importance and complexity, not by how busy the team is.
  • Make it work in the quality system: Manage subjectivity, treat loss of supply as a quality risk, build QRM into deviations, changes and suppliers, and spot an assessment written to justify a decision already made.
