Keep Your GMP Training Fresh!

One challenge we face with GMP Training is keeping it current and fresh. The FDA often is a terrific resource for finding training resource materials. Several FDA personnel conducted presentations at the 41st Annual Meeting of the Drug Information Association on June 26 – 30, 2005. Many of these presentations are posted on FDA’s web site.

One presentation we found particularly interesting was by Richard Friedman from the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of Compliance, Division of Manufacturing and Product Quality.

Mr. Friedman spoke on Continuous Improvement under Modern Quality Systems and cGMPs. You can download a copy of this presentation at

Many companies are embarking on Continuous Improvement journeys. GMP Training Systems got its start in this area in the early 1980’s. In fact, David Markovitz, Founder and President of GMP Training Systems, was privileged to assist Dr. W. Edwards Deming at several of his famous Four-Day Seminars from 1987 through 1993, when Deming passed away at the age of 93. Deming has been recognized as one of the 20th century’s top one hundred influential persons.
