HR Systems Inside the Quality System
Where training records are controlled documents.
What this coversHideIn a regulated manufacturer, the training record is part of the quality system. That changes what the HR system must do - controlled change, audit trail, and records that survive the employee.
- Training records with audit trail and controlled change
- Qualification and authorisation status per individual
- Retraining triggered by procedure revision
- Signature and initials register maintained
- Area and clean-room authorisation held on the record
- Records retained per the quality system after exit
- Inspection-ready extraction without manual assembly
Retraining triggered by a procedure revision is the capability that most reduces risk, because the manual version - remembering who was trained on the superseded version - is where gaps appear.
The general method — what hr technology and automation covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the hr process automation page. What is above is the part that differs for pharmaceuticals and life sciences.
