- Oversee the lifecycle of DSPV standards, SOPs, work instructions, and controlled documents, including development, review, approval, periodic review, version control, and archival; partner with Business Process Owners to ensure procedures, training, and performance measures remain compliant, harmonized, effective, and aligned with DSPV standards.
Audit and Inspection Readiness
- Partner with Quality to coordinate DSPV preparation and participation in regulatory inspections, audits, and due diligence assessments.
- Lead tracking of audit findings, inspection observations, and associated CAPA plans, and analyze outcomes to identify trends, improvement opportunities, and compliance risks.
Quality Event, Deviation, and CAPA Management
- Partner with Quality to ensure effective management of PV-related quality events, deviations, and CAPAs, including those arising from audits and inspections.
- Facilitate root cause analysis and preventive action development and trend quality events and CAPAs to identify recurring issues and systemic process weaknesses.
Continuous Improvement
- Collaborate with Quality to strengthen PV compliance and inspection readiness, recommend improvements to process compliance, governance, and monitoring, and promote a culture of quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.
- Partner with the EU/UK QPPV Office and Regulatory Intelligence sources to independently oversee DSPV Business Process Owners’ assessment, implementation, and effectiveness monitoring of regulatory-driven changes impacting DSPV.
