I am far from sure that the issue is regulation causing the problem. No doubt mountains of paper work, but the simple fact is that pharma fund the regulators, and the regulators are happy to sign off on whatever just to keep the funds flowing. Dont forget, big pharma will love mountainous regulation, whatever they say, because regulation presents a barrier to entry for the smaller players. Given that pharma are the largest lobbyists financially I am sure they get exactly what they want.
As I’ve commented before Hedley I’m familiar with manufacturing practices being involved many years but within a different industry.
It’s not about adding more layers, what is needed is consistent checking, monitoring and samples signed and set aside to make sure qualify control can always check and track whenever there’s been a problem or an issue.
It’s actually funny that you have brought this up, my hubby works for an American company, they are obsessed with paperwork and have increased it massively, at the same time quality control has taken a nose dive and customers complain of the products causing problems on their production lines.
The focus on the importance of the paperwork rather than the product comes from the top down, it seems as if they prefer to be seen as complying rather than actually complying.
Seems we’re at the baffle them with bullshit stage. Look at us and how good we are we’ve added extra layers more than you requested, none of it is worth diddly squat but it looks good on paper.
Between the paper pushers & the bean counters. The world of any commerce is mired in bureaucracy. Suffocating any old fashioned business practices. Totally devoid & bereft of common sense.

Thank you Hedley.

The citadels of pps & beans need demolishing now.
