Why Less Is More

A well-written SOP is not a static, one-time effort.
It has life. It acts as a foundation, but one that's flexible like a car's frame and suspension, on which compliance can be achieved confidently.
It helps to demonstrate compliance and say to inspectors that manufacturer knows what it’s doing and why
Yet, in today's busy, stress-filled workplace, a staff needs (and hopes for) SOPs that are easy-to-follow, quick reads. Fortunately, FDA investigators support that idea, saying: “It’s better to have an easy-to-read process map that manufacturers actually follow than to have a detailed SOP that they don’t.”
Yet, in 2014, "inadequate SOPs" was once again a Top 5 most-frequently-cited Form 483 observation.
It can be done better. In fact, it must be done better.
Take the first big step toward crafting more effective, compliant SOPs.
Attend this highly-interactive, two-day workshop that will teach the practical techniques needed for writing fast-read, flexible and compliant SOPs — SOPs that will meet FDA requirements as well as today’s globalized expectations.
This two-day workshop will be led by John Avellanet, an award-winning FDA compliance expert known for his business-savvy, pragmatic advice and engaging speaking style.
Not only does this workshop provide an opportunity to hear from an acknowledged expert in SOPs, but attendees will also share experiences and learn from their fellow attendees who are confronting the same issues.
Attend this critical workshop and attendees will find out:
How to quickly parse warning letters and Form 483s for SOP expectations
What FDA investigator questions to expect about the SOPs and policies
How to take advantage of the Policy-SOP-Task Outline hierarchy
How to use forms, checklists, and templates to reinforce compliance
Where definitions belong in the era of wikis and intranets

But that's not all. There's one other way attendees will benefit in a big way from attending FDAnews' SOPs for the 21st Century: Why Less Is More.
There's no doubt what a challenge it is to write effective, easy-to-read SOPs that work for the staff and are also compliant with FDA regulations.
