For years, Product Quality Review (PQR) practices have been considered only as static record stores that provide documentation on compliance rather than insight. While traditional approaches may continue to be used, the shift to an Anytime PQR system represents a quantum leap, transforming these systems from static record keepers to proactive systems of intelligence.
APQR as a Regulatory Requirement
Annual Product Quality Review is a mandatory requirement of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) under which pharmaceutical companies must conduct yearly product quality reviews of their commercialized products.
However, as regulatory scrutiny intensifies, the need for dynamic, real-time APQR systems becomes more critical. Regulatory bodies emphasize continuous monitoring and real-time reporting. Thus, the pharmaceutical company should have systems capable of supplying insights on demand rather than at fixed time intervals.
The Gap in Traditional APQR Practices
The old methods are often credited with inefficient tools, delayed manual processes, and a lack of integration. This often leads to time-consuming efforts with a risk of increased errors. A major reason behind that these systems use spreadsheets, disconnected data sources, and old methods for compilation, analysis, and compliance. An Anytime PQR addresses this missing link by offering a fully integrated digital solution to transform the way PQRs are managed.
Traditional APQR Methods and Their Endless Limitations
Traditional PQR methods have served their purpose so far in terms of compliance and ensuring that processes during manufacture meet required regulatory standards. However, the burden of these limitations often restricts their effectiveness.
Static Data Collection and Handling
Traditional approaches normally capture historical data without any capability to analyze or gain insights from it. As a result, companies end up reacting to issues rather than trying to prevent them beforehand.
Lengthy Review Processes
Manual APQR methods often lead to long review cycles, which result in delayed identification of problems and their respective solutions.
Data Silos
Data silos become a problem when they start to impede visibility and access to data, leading to manufacturers missing important insights. Most organizations face the issue of data silos within different systems as information is segregated and not available for assessment holistically.
Integration Capabilities
The majority of conventional APQR practices do not support integration with other manufacturing, quality, and compliance systems. Such fragmentation hinders visibility and disturbs the timely making of decisions.
CaliberAPQR: A System of Intelligence
CaliberAPQR is a next-generation anytime PQR tool. A robust and streamlined solution, designed for more efficient and effective APQR by offering a report of Annual Product Quality Review that is sustainable and accurate.
