Despite heavy FDA regulations, problems in GMP manufacturing of dietary supplements arise frequently. Common issues include:
- Inadequate document control – Operators can overlook potential problems or fail to sign off on important processes in real time.
- Confusion in batch records – Missing pages or a missed step can cause an entire batch record to be lost or unusable.
- Paper documents – Reviews and changes are time consuming.
- Logs aren’t updated in real-time – Operators may have to move to different equipment areas and this information may not be recorded.
- Getting approvals and signatures – Approvals for batch records and protocol changes are often left to the end of the process. Locating the individuals needed to sign off on these important documents can be time confusing and frustrating.
