How to use GMP Maps

01 Use in training sessions

Print or display any map during team training to walk through the correct procedural sequence step by step. Every decision point references the applicable regulation so your team understands the why not just the what.

02 Use for inspection preparation

Review the relevant map before an FDA or EU GMP inspection to confirm your procedures align with the regulatory expectations shown at each decision point. Identify gaps before the investigator does.

03 Use alongside GMPify courses

Each map corresponds to a GMPify course that covers the regulatory content in depth. The map gives you the procedural framework. The course gives you the understanding behind every step.

Go deeper with GMPify courses

Each procedural map is built from the same primary regulatory sources as the corresponding GMPify course. The map gives you the framework. The course gives you the regulatory depth, case examples and knowledge checks that prepare you for inspection.
