242 - Pharma/MedTech Audits: 6 Strategies for Choosing Where to Start

One of the hardest parts of auditing is not knowing what to look for.It is deciding where to start. Do you trace a deviation? Walk the process? Focus on one department? Audit CAPA across the organization? Or pull on a thread that does not quite make sense?

In this video, Subhi walks through six audit strategies from the ASQ Certified Quality Auditor Body of Knowledge and explains how they apply in real-world pharma, biotech, and combination product audits.

The six strategies covered are:

1. Tracing

2. Process Approach

3. Process-Based Management

4. Department Method

5. Element Method

6. Discovery Method

These approaches are useful whether you are auditing a supplier, a manufacturing site, a testing laboratory, or a quality system that spans drug, device, and combination product responsibilities.

Need support with combination product quality, auditing, supplier quality, or quality system strategy?
