Batch Record Review
Every batch record must be reviewed and released by qualified personnel within 30 days (21 CFR 211.192). StackFactor EXCEED certifies every QA reviewer on GMP and deviation analysis, and SHIELD locks down the IT controls in your QMS so only those certified reviewers can sign off on a batch.
Why Batch Reviews Miss Deadlines
21 CFR 211.192 gives QA 30 days to review and release every batch — one miss can mean a Warning Letter.
Overdue Batch Reviews
Batches sit in QA queue for weeks. FDA citations for late reviews trigger Warning Letters that halt shipments.
Missed OOS Results
Reviewers comb 200-page records for out-of-spec results. Critical deviations get buried under volume.
Unqualified Reviewer Risk
No way to prove every reviewer is GMP-certified and current. Single-point-of-failure bottlenecks stall release.
From Batch Close to Qualified Release
StackFactor EXCEED turns batch record review into a GMP-certified workforce capability — never an inspection surprise.
Qualified Reviewers
EXCEED certifies QA staff on GMP, OOS investigation, deviation classification, and root cause analysis — tracking currency and proficiency automatically.
EXCEEDSkill-Matched Assignments
EXCEED routes each batch to reviewers who hold the right certifications and proficiency for the product line — eliminating bottlenecks and unqualified handoffs.
EXCEEDContinuous Release Readiness
Workforce-readiness dashboards show reviewer capacity, certification currency, and training ROI — board-ready and inspection-ready.
EXCEEDMultiple Roles. One Problem.
Batch record compliance spans quality assurance, production, and manufacturing leadership. Each role has a different pain point, but they all need the same outcome.
VP Quality Assurance
FDA cited overdue batch reviews last inspection. A Warning Letter would halt shipments.
Quality Reviewer
Reviews 40+ deviations per week and misses critical OOS results buried in 200-page records.
Production Manager
Batches sit in QA queue for weeks with no visibility into what’s holding up product release.
Head of Manufacturing
Can’t prove GMP training spend is actually reducing deviations.
