PDA's most interactive workshop ever!
The key to this workshop is more than eight hours of hands-on small group activities and discussions facilitated by recognized industry experts. Learn not only the theory of developing a great contamination control strategy (CCS), but also how to translate that theory into actual practice. Gain the skills you need to create holistic contamination control strategies covering all aspects of the manufacturing operation, including facility design and utilities, environmental control, validation and monitoring, quality systems, people, and processes.
This workshop is based on the new PDA Technical Report No. 90: Contamination Control Strategy Development in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (TR 90), which will be provided free to each participant as a tool to prepare for the workshop. Jumpstart your CCS understanding and how to apply it to your manufacturing facilities and processes in this world-class interactive workshop – your hands-on solution to developing and implementing a successful CCS!
