Dr Shrivastaw has been working as Head, Quality control Division at Central Research Institute, Kasauli. The division is carrying out the Quality Control and Quality Assurance functions at Central Research Institute. These functions are very important and form absolute pre-requisites for Total Quality Management (TQM) in any pharmaceutical industry. It is generally agreed upon that TQM in any organization is a long term continuous evolving process, keeping this fact in mind; the division undertakes a number of steps in this direction one of which is
• Various productions units are inspected and suitably advised to improve upon and maintain cGMP in the institute’s different functions like continuous monitoring of cold room, refrigerators , incubators , calibration of all the equipment, proper data management and documentation of DQ (Designing Qualification), IQ( Installation Qualification), OQ ( Operational Qualification ), CQ( Calibration Qualification) and PQ ( Performance Qualification), Validation of all the methods ( Process Validation ) used in the manufacture from time to time and whenever it is necessary, routine validation of sterility chamber and clean room by different methods. In this connection the sterility testing by Q.C. Division can be cited as a model example. Recently WHO training team when inspected has reported Q.C. Division as one of the internationally best division in the area of testing especially Sterility testing because practically each and every aspect of this test is stringently monitored by the division e.g. staff ( health and training ), sterility chamber, methods, equipment, testing media and data management. Due to these measures there was not even a single batch failure reported from the field of the Biologicals manufactured by the institute during the last several decades.
