The 5Ps of GMP Compliance
Quality control is critical in the cannabis industry. That's why all hemp and CBD products must be produced according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines. But what are GMP guidelines, and what do they mean for you? In this post, we'll break down the five key principles of GMP compliance: people, process, premises, product, and procedures. We'll also discuss how these principles help ensure that your CBD products are safe and effective.
People
It’s often said that good people will do bad things if they have bad training– while perhaps slightly harsh, the sentiment is important: People must know how to do a good job in order for it. Employees must know how to follow procedure and their performances must be assessed. This also means that the training methods must be reviewed so that manufacturer knows how it can ensure their employees are properly trained and competent.
Process
Well-defined processes are a great way to maintain quality control and continually improve the product. By taking time in your various production stages, from investigating how things work all throughout the documentation of it with measurements that can be assessed regularly you'll have an easier chance at staying within GMP guidelines while still producing or sourcing safe products!
Premises
Manufacturing quality products and staying certified by your country’s GMP legislator is a difficult task. One of the most crucial parts in achieving success for any company, whether they're small or large-scale producers with many employees on-site will be their physical premises which must function at maximum efficiency to meet all requirements set forth through good manufacturing practice (GMP)
The importance attached towards functioning clean equipment can’t go unnoticed; it's vital that everything from each machine contained within its layout has been considered before installation begins so as long there aren't unforeseen difficulties later down the road - things like power outages etc., this should make assembly much easier than trying figure
Product
Every product that enters your facility must be handled with the same level of quality, care, and scrutiny to reduce the chance an error may occur somewhere along its journey from raw component to consumer.
Procedures
Your procedures should outline the journey of your products from end to end, providing detailed instructions on how they are achieved. GMP legislation requires that you maintain these guidelines and rules in order for everything to remain compliant with industry standards so this is an important point that cannot be overlooked by any means necessary!
