The Manufacturer

Why Good Distribution Practices are also relevant to the Manufacturer?

• Ensure consistency of GDP standards is in place as products are collected and moved along the supply chain
• Recommended that all personnel handling products must receive GDP training

Within the Warehouse/Storage/Logistics areas of manufacturing companies it is recommended that all personnel handling products must receive GDP training. This will ensure consistency of GDP standards is in place as products are collected and moved along the supply chain to final delivery destination. This is necessary to ensure that the overlap between the standard operating procedures (SOPs) related to receipt, storage, handling and transportation under GMP guidelines match the appropriate minimum SOPs for the service providers and that the quality of transportation fully meets the essential standards of compliance and security and product integrity as products move along the supply chain.
