Nitrosamines Project Setup and KPI Follow-up

A multinational pharmaceutical company needed assistance establishing its Nitrosamines Project framework and implementing key performance indicator (KPI) tracking. This support involved defining project goals, creating standardized workflows, and developing tools for monitoring progress. With clear KPIs in place, the company aimed to measure effectiveness, maintain regulatory compliance, and continuously improve their processes.

Challenges Faced

Project Setup: Key challenges included establishing a clear project structure, defining consistent workflows, and consolidating scattered data into a usable format. The company struggled with communicating roles and responsibilities, ensuring regulatory compliance, and creating reliable performance indicators. Additionally, implementing systems for real-time monitoring and timely adjustments proved difficult, impacting the overall efficiency and quality of the Nitrosamines Project.

Zamann Pharma Support’s Approach

Project Initialization: Zamann’s approach began with a structured project initialization phase, setting clear objectives, defining scope, and identifying the key stakeholders involved in the Nitrosamine Project. They established standardized procedures, risk assessments, and communication protocols to guide the work. Early on, roles and responsibilities were clarified, and essential documentation tools, such as templates and data repositories, were created. This well-defined foundation supported subsequent steps, ensuring the project ran smoothly, aligned with regulatory standards, and enabled accurate tracking of progress and performance.
Key Topics Evaluated: Key topics included defining the project’s scope, understanding regulatory requirements, and identifying high-risk products. The company evaluated available resources, established roles and responsibilities, and created standardized workflows. Data management strategies, communication channels, and performance indicators were also assessed to ensure efficient monitoring and continuous improvement throughout the Nitrosamine Project.
KPI Tracking: Zamann defined Key performance indicators (KPIs) for a Nitrosamines Project help track progress, quality, and compliance against defined targets. They included metrics such as the number of batches tested within a set timeframe, the percentage of products meeting nitrosamine thresholds, and the speed of issue resolution when deviations occur. By regularly reviewing these KPIs, the project team identified trends, address inefficiencies, and ensure that processes remain aligned with regulatory requirements and organizational goals.

Results Achieved

Regulatory Compliance: The structured Nitrosamines Project setup ensured that regulatory guidelines were integrated into each step of the evaluation and decision-making process. By defining workflows, standardizing documentation, and establishing clear communication among stakeholders, the project team addressed health authority requests more reliably. This proactive approach enabled timely, accurate testing and reporting, supported better data integrity, and ultimately led to sustained compliance with the requirements set by health authorities.
Project management: After establishing the Nitrosamines Project framework, the company achieved better clarity on roles, responsibilities, and workflows. Documentation became more standardized and easily accessible, improving both data quality and traceability. Enhanced communication protocols and defined KPIs enabled the team to track progress effectively and address issues promptly. Overall, the setup phase resulted in smoother operations, increased regulatory compliance, and a foundation that supported more efficient and reliable decision-making.

Client Testimonial

“We initially expected that fully implementing a Nitrosamines Project would mean extensive, costly testing. However, Zamann’s thorough approach to defining risk-based workflows and clear decision-making criteria actually reduced our testing needs. By pinpointing only the batches at genuine risk and streamlining our procedures, we performed fewer, more targeted tests without compromising quality or compliance. This reduction not only saved us time and resources but also proved that a thoughtful, strategic setup can lead to meaningful budget savings.”
