RBQM Plan

Risk-Based Quality Management with critical data identification and tolerance limits.

Module Overview

The RBQM Plan module implements a structured Risk-Based Quality Management approach with critical data and process identification, risk scoring, tolerance limits, and monitoring strategy definition. It aligns with ICH E6(R2) addendum and FDA/EMA RBQM guidance, providing the foundation for risk-based monitoring activities.

Key Features

Critical data and critical process identification
Risk scoring with probability, detectability, and impact
Tolerance limits and quality tolerance levels (QTLs)
Risk-based monitoring strategy definition
Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) configuration
Cross-functional risk review workflow

Workflow & Interface

Explore the module's workflow through interactive interface mockups showing each step of the process.
