Should Happen Did Happen Gap AnalysisAs per SOP GP512/22‘Handling of GMP Deviations’:- GMP deviations to be classified as per definition into:Critical incidentCritical deviationMajorMinorFor Information Only (FIO)-Deviation should be initiated on Trackwise within 24 hours of discovery of the incident-Initiating a deviation:•By observer• Use App. II as guidance for deviation determination• Record deviation:OccurrenceAssigned to Short descriptionEvent descriptionRemedial action

Classification is done into the five categories but FIO deviations did not comply with the stated definition but fit with Minor one.

- Deviation is usually opened upon 24 hours of incident discovery Done in accordance to SOP except:-Not all deviations are opened by the observer- Remedial actions are not stated every time at that early stage but documented during investigation

Classification of FIO is not based on standard definition and criteria stated in the SOP but on impact on the event on product quality.

-Opening of deviations are not always opened by the observer but by OQ.- Remedial actions are not documented upon opening of deviation but during investigation process.

Should Happen Did Happen Gap Analysis-Area owner assesses the deviation with OQ -The initial deviation assessment must cover potential impact on product quality and regulatory compliance as follows:•Impact on batches immediately affected• Impact on other batches•Microbiological risk• Current location and status of impacted product• Remedial actions• If the deviation was reported before and reason for recurrence

- Non mandatory fields are listed and to be completed if necessary

No initial assessment was done in accordance to SOP details, mandatory fields on Trackwise are only recorded.

- Non mandatory fields are not usually field during deviation initiation

Initial assessment as per the procedure details is not implemented, the deviation is recorded as per mandatory fields only present on Trackwise in short sentences.

- During deviation initiation, fields on Trackwise are usually filled when they are manadatory

-Add child action item or CAPA if required.

- App. I is used when observer has no access or when system is broken-down

-Creation and closure of action item

-Initial QA approval

-All deviation records are approved by OQ upon initiation.

- No action item or CAPA are assigned at this stage, remedial actions are recorded later on during investigation.

- App. I is not usually used , since deviation is not usually opened by operator.

- No action items were created

- Deviation records are approved by OQ

- No gap

-Remedial actions are documented during investigation not upon initial recording of deviation.

- Deviation is either opened by area owner or OQ that have access on Trackwise, so App. I is not usually used by the observer who has no system access

- Periodic review:•Area manager should ensure that all deviations and effectiveness of associated CAPAs are periodically reviewed as per SOP QD5150.• Frequency of review must be based on risk• Quality Council must review any significant issues arising from the review• Electronic GMP deviation list is maintained on team site for trending purpose

- Most CAPAs are not done at time of closure of deviation and those corrective actions done, are stated done without attaching objective evidence.

- Periodic review is not in use and currently is done through monthly monitoring of deviation trend and breakdown on TAP 2 production and Quality council

No objective evidence attached for done actions or CAPAs during investigation.

-Responsibility:•Observer: Notify area managerTake remedial actionsOpen deviation

- In case of uncertainty of root cause, probable causes are assessed, controls are put in place but no escalation to RMS.- Referring is usually done to RMS actions for deviations related to opened risks.

- Escalation is done through weekly MEA TC and monthly MEA quality council to regional head of quality to assess the need of raising quality alert.

-Observer:•Notify area manager• Sometimes take necessary remedial actions• Not usually open deviation

-No escalation between outcome of deviation and RMS.- Referring is usually done to RMS actions for deviations related to opened risks.

Refined Problem StatementThe problem statement to be refined based on the identified gaps prior start of Step 4

Deviations were not being investigated appropriately to ensure full impact of deviation was assessed & appropriate actions implemented due to some gaps in timeline, key member investigation team attendance and responsibility, classification and initial impact assessment with relevant appropriate remedial actions, also, level of challenges in relation to investigation details including backward, forward and current impact assessment on product batches, line of sight and tackling of root cause with relevant CAPAs. Moreover, improper link between deviation system and other systems as RMS.
