Developing and implementing effective strategies and procedures for sterility assurance and microbiology across the organization (environment, water, steam, gas, bio-cleaning, gowning, aseptic processes and practices and industrial supplies, etc.) and Qualification/Validation for processes (microbio strategy) Ensuring the compliance of products and processes with applicable sterility assurance and microbiology regulatory requirements and company quality standards Maintaining a system to ensure sterility assurance and microbiological risks are properly identified, tracked and mitigated Overseeing of production activities as (MFT, best aseptic practices ....) Overseeing, with Q&V team, the validation, qualification, and monitoring of methods, equipment, and the environment ensuring sterility assurance control Following metrics and monitoring data for the sterility assurance and microbiological activities to identify trends and issues and to implement action plan Establishing and monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics for the sterility assurance and microbiological activities and reporting on its performance and effectiveness Promoting a culture of quality throughout the organization Identifying and driving continuous improvement initiatives and projects to enhance the sterility assurance and microbiological activities Evaluating and recommending new technologies, tools, and methods to enhance sterility assurance and microbiology Leading management reviews to assess the effectiveness of the sterility assurance program and microbiological program Leading and managing the sterility assurance and microbiology team, including hiring, training, coaching, professional development, and performance evaluation Interacting with external bodies and Global Quality to bring knowledge and awareness of best industry practices (Congress, CoP and CoE) Preparing and participating in regulatory inspections and audits, providing expertise on sterility assurance and microbiology Providing support for the successful collaboration between Digital, Quality, and technical functions to achieve desired functionality, compliance, and productivity for new solutions in Sterility Assurance and Environmental Monitoring areas To ensure the operations in environmental monitoring fulfill the GMP requirement. Prepare the relevant specifications and analytical test methods to ensure the routine monitoring of the manufacturing area is correctly performed. Be responsible to projects and continuously improvement, validation and investigation in EM and sterile assurance Support in implementation of contamination control strategy (CCS) and sterile product manufacturing to prevent contamination, and contribute to the trouble shooting for sterility/microbe contamination issue in EM, equipment, utility, material, product and production related validation etc. Developing or assisting the develop microbial/EM assessment SOP to support routine operation, e.g. EM and utility monitoring and testing. Ensure that monitoring is carried out in compliance with specifications, Pharmacopeia requirements and the cGMP and analyse the trend of the analytical results. Ensure the exceeding limit investigation is conducted properly. Keep close relationship and communication with other departments to ensure proper execution of the production plan.
