Published: Wednesday, January 31, 2018 - 16:10 (Sparta Systems: Hamilton, NJ) -- A recent survey sponsored by Sparta Systems and conducted by Pharmaceutical Technology, found that while compliance remains the top objective in 2018 among 73 percent of pharmaceutical executives, performance-oriented objectives were nearly as critical for the year ahead. The findings of the survey are discussed in the report, “2018 Pharma Quality Outlook: The New Role of Quality Teams.” The research suggests that the role of pharmaceutical quality departments is quickly changing as executives look to enlist the skillset of these teams to better support the business by driving operational efficiency, improving manufacturing performance, and accelerating time to market, among other objectives. “The role of a quality teams is changing for a number of reasons, such as global pressure, generic drug competition, and budget cuts,” says Brandon Henning, director of product management at Sparta Systems. “These changes are driving companies to be more efficient by looking more closely at how quality impacts their business. We’re also seeing regulators take a more data-driven approach, so having a quality team and system that supports these demands is going to become crucial for success.” Alongside key objectives for a successful quality team, the report cites barriers to achieving those objectives as well. Budget and headcount ranked as the top two obstacles in 2018, while compliance and validation was the biggest challenge with existing quality systems. • The biggest challenges to existing quality systems were “ensuring system is compliant with regulations” (60 percent), “usability and scalability” (34 percent) and “training users” (30 percent).
