Trend analysis of critical quality parameters. (as per Annexure-III)

Quality complaints

Product recall

Returned and Salvaged goods

Non-Conformance reports and in-process deviations.

Batch failures at various stages and their investigations.

Changes are done in the formulation process, packaging.

Compression Stage: Av. Weight, Hardness, DT (if applicable), Friability, and Uniformity of weight.

Finished Product: Assay, Dissolution, Uniformity of content, Impurity / R.S., and Microbial Evaluation.

The yield of each stage shall be cumulated for review, to ensure that batch yield is within limits. If any deficiencies are observed, their comments/reasons for the same have to be reviewed. The action taken to avoid the recurrence should be highlighted in Annual Product Quality Review.
