Fundamentals of Document Control
Laboratory and Quality Management|2 days|Classroom or live online
Fundamentals of Document Control is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through measurement uncertainty and reagent management without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with internal auditing, equipment calibration and supplier qualification in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about internal auditing without waiting for a specialist, measured against good laboratory practice
- Put equipment calibration on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Spot where supplier qualification is failing before it becomes a finding
- Explain root cause analysis to someone who does not do the work
