Quality Risk Management


Quality risk management is a systematic process for the assessment, control, communication and review of risks to the quality of the drug product across the product life cycle. Other models could be used. The emphasis on each component of the framework might differ from case to case but a robust process will incorporate consideration of all the elements at a level of detail that is commensurate with the specific risk.
