What causes drug manufacturing failures and recalls? Human error. Time after time, Corrective and preventive action (CAPA) investigations single it out as the root cause of violations. If there were a magic formula for ending human error, we’d share it. But here's the next best thing—systematic best practices and strategies that have been proven to cut human error and boost success on the factory floor.
Your instructor
Your guide for this webinar is Ginette Collazzo, Ph.D., an authority on industrial/organizational psychology. She has spent more than 10 years in technical training, organizational development, and human reliability for Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, Schering-Plough and Wyeth. An active researcher in specialized studies related to human reliability, she is the author of numerous publications on these topics.
She'll map four best practices for determining the scope of problems:
• Diagnosis. How to re-analyze failure investigations for the preceding 12 months
• Categorize and code. How to sort investigations into four levels
• Quantify. How to determine which level to tackle first and which can wait
• Plan based on priorities: gravity, urgency, and tendancy (GUT). Taking the GUT check to set training priorities
And she'll demonstrate a five-point method for improving staff training and reducing human error:
- Changing the focus of training from learning to reliability
- Challenging training methods constantly
- Creating interdisciplinary groups to tackle training problems
- Improving specific training—human behavior, instructions development, training methods, investigation processes
- Enhancing the depth and breadth of courses and skills aimed at managers and employees
Webinar specifics
- How to start an error-reduction program, then measure its effectiveness
- Identifying the relationship between CAPA and human reliability and performance expectations
- Five key elements of an effective human-error CAPA system—essential system safeguards
- Unlocking the mystery of root cause analysis and human error
- Revealing destructive human-behavior factors and creating effective recommendations to modify them
- Why existing practices fail—“correctives” that don’t correct, “preventives” that don’t prevent
- Trending and tracking—assuring that improvement is by design, not chance
It’s a lot of ground to cover in only 90 minutes, but don’t worry—not only will you gain a new perspective on error reduction, but you’ll get answers to all your questions, too. This webinar is totally interactive, with the presenter fielding your questions via e-mail. Now’s the time to start drawing up your list.
