GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) Overview

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) ensures that products are produced and controlled consistently according to quality standards. GMP minimizes the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product. GMP covers all aspects of production, including materials, premises, equipment, training, and staff personal hygiene.

GMP minimizes risks that cannot be detected through final product testing alone. It governs every aspect of production: raw materials, facility conditions, equipment validation, standard operating procedures, staff training, and personal hygiene. For organizations operating under FDA oversight or preparing for global audits, adherence to GMP is both a regulatory requirement and a competitive differentiator.

What is GMP Training?

GMP Training is a requirement as it emphasizes employees performing all tasks in accordance with GMP expectations and established procedures. It is an essential requirement for pharmaceutical manufacturers as per 21 CFR 211.25 (a) – Personnel Qualifications. This training is mandatory for both drug manufacturers and ingredient suppliers.

Whether you're a drug manufacturer, contract manufacturer, or raw material supplier, GMP training and certification are global signals of operational maturity. A modern, digital training system enables real-time tracking, role-based content delivery, and continuous compliance — empowering teams to proactively reduce quality risk while meeting both U.S. and international regulatory expectations.

Importance of GMP Training

GMP Training educates and motivates employees to apply the principles of good manufacturing practices (GMP).

GMP training is important because:

GMP training ensures employees perform tasks accurately, following established protocols, and encourages them to report any deviations, equipment issues, or unusual material appearances to supervisors.
It emphasizes the importance of completing records to confirm adherence to instructions while retaining all relevant documentation.
GMP training plays a critical role in maintaining high-quality medical products, ensuring they are fit for their intended use and that both the site and processes remain in a state of control.
It reinforces procedures and guidelines that govern site operations, serving as a global benchmark for quality standards.

I selected CQ for a number of reasons. Functionality and a simple user interface were key requirements. CQ has all the functionality needed in support of a global QMS. Implementation includes; Document control, change order, personnel training, NC/CAPA, equipment management, supplier management, audit management, and customer complaints all on a single platform. As a small biologics company it was critical to find a single solution to meet our GMP quality system requirements. We wanted a cloud-based system, that would be quick to implement, that could be expanded globally and in other languages, all for a reasonable price. The user interface – it is exactly what I was hoping for. I constantly hear the staff saying, “I love CQ, it’s so straightforward to use”.
