Challenges in practice
Medical technology and pharmaceuticals, chemistry and food, in your industry you are subject to different regulations and guidelines. Guidelines in the GxP environment are laid down by the European Medicines Agency and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for example. Compliance with the established guidelines is regularly checked by the supervisory authorities of the respective countries. When using your ERP system and, of course, your QA/QM solution, all processes must be designed with these regulatory requirements in mind. This applies in particular to the requirements of ISO13485 2016 EN and the regulations 21 CFR Part 11. Common procedures for validating software are usually a considerable burden due to their complexity, effort, the amount of paper, the lack of practical benefits, etc. For this reason, small and medium-sized companies in particular shy away from the urgently needed introduction of software requiring validation.
