The Role of Logbooks and Recordkeeping in Identifying Root Causes

Overview:

The records in a lab - the logbooks for chemicals, reagent and calibration solutions, for sample preparation, for instrument maintenance and calibration, for quality checks - all are time oriented. This gives window of cause-and-effect or coincidence that can give clues. The sum of these, plus the symptoms of the non-compliance can point out the likely root cause.

Why should you Attend:

Tracking down the cause of a non-compliance can be a time-consuming and difficult task. But in a compliant laboratory there are numerous records covering everything done within the laboratory. These records are a coordinated and interlocking system that can be a key tool in finding certain root causes. This webinar will describe the approach and some examples of how to do this.
