Topic 01: Introduction to

This topic is intended to
introduce the employee to the basic concepts of Good

the concepts through the use comparisons with everyday
experiences, and the use of simple examples.
The material covers the
subject under the headings of:-
What is G.M.P?

products!
Principles of GMP
-five basic principles of GMP
• Cleanliness -personal hygiene and
sanitation.
• Following Procedures - sticking to
operating procedures.
• Quality takes Time - we have to
allow time for testing.
• Record Keeping - why it is
needed.
• GMP is for Everyone - explains
that everyone is involved and leads on to…
The GMP Team
GMP and the team approach.
- why everything matters.
- why everyone matters.
- do we take it seriously?
- what happens if we don't ?
- what happens if we do ?
GMP must be shown to be a reflection of
Quality into the manufacturing environment. In order to
establish the importance of the "GMP-Quality link", the
relevance of this link must first be shown. This is achieved
through the use of an exercise in identifying customer
expectations.
Process
The session then considers some of the
principles of GMP - hygiene, following procedures, testing
and record keeping as a means of providing a link to further
Core Topics.The importance of the involvement of everyone is
then shown and, the team approach emphasised. Finally, the
participant is encouraged to make GMP a habit.
