Quality Indicators in Pharmaceutical Industry
Abstract
The quality of pharmaceutical industrial processes - and how to achieve it - is a theme of great interest on the pharmaceutical industry, especially in what concerns its standardization. With the standardization of the practices and the normatization of the good manufacturing guidelines, a concern it started, also from the government, with what would be quality in the pharmaceutical industry and how to achieve it. This work aims to gather main guidelines and practices used as quality indicators in the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, it was selected 21 review and research articles obtained through a search on the online databases, as well reference guidelines from international organizations, such as World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). After organizing and studying the selected material, the quality practices currently used in the pharmaceutical industry was described, such as quality risk management, quality by design, corrective and preventive actions, lean manufacturing, total quality system and ISO series. Although a complete and updated published regimentation about quality indicators and practices in the pharmaceutical industry is already available, the publications lack specific information and practical experiences on the implementation of these quality systems, being hard to exemplify the positive influence of these strategies on the management of pharmaceutical industries.
