General overview GMP

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a set of guidelines and standards established to ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceuticals, food, and other regulated products. GMP regulations govern various aspects of production, including facility cleanliness, personnel training, equipment maintenance, and record-keeping. The primary objectives of GMP are to prevent contamination, errors, and deviations during the manufacturing process, and to ensure consistent product quality and compliance with regulatory requirements. Adherence to GMP principles helps companies minimize risks to consumers' health and safety, maintain product integrity, and meet regulatory standards enforced by agencies such as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the WHO (World Health Organization). GMP applies to all stages of production, from raw material sourcing to finished product distribution, and requires ongoing monitoring, documentation, and continuous improvement to ensure compliance and product quality.
