Quality Assurance
A business request?
Quality Assurance (QA) is a systematic and proactive process aimed at ensuring that all products or services meet consistent, high-quality standards.
Quality Assurance is about preventing flaws in the development and manufacturing processes (while Quality Control focuses on the end product). This involves setting stringent operational procedures and standards, conducting regular audits and reviews, and ensuring that procedures are followed correctly at every stage of product development, manufacturing, and distribution.
QA is critical in the Life Sciences sector, as it helps maintain the safety, efficacy, and reliability of pharmaceuticals, biotech products, and medical devices, directly impacting patient health and safety. Quality Assurance, therefore, serves as the foundation for trust in Life Sciences, ensuring that every product released not only complies with regulatory requirements but also meets the industry’s high standards and expectations for quality.
“QA involves the implementation of procedures, protocol, and quality control measures to prevent defects, maintain consistency, and enhance overall quality throughout the lifecycle of a product or a service.”
