Automating Training Distribution Management and Training Control / Tracking Processes for FDA, TGA and ISO Requirements

In FDA, TGA and ISO environments, companies are required to implement and document employee training to make sure that their personnel know how to perform their duties within company and industry guidelines. Adequate and continuous personnel training is deemed essential in manufacturing safe, reliable, and high-quality products. As a result, training control is critical to FDA, TGA and ISO compliance.

How can MasterControl Training™ Benefit You?

MasterControl Training™ is a robust, easy-to-use solution designed to effectively manage the training process and integrate it with other processes critical to regulatory compliance, such as CAPA, change control, audit, and customer complaints. Here's how MasterControl addresses some of the major challenges that companies face in implementing training control.

Training Management and Tracking Challenges		MasterControl Training™ Software Solution

Inefficient Training Management System The more employees a company has, the harder it is to track, follow-up, and verify their training, especially if they're in different locations working different shifts. A paper-based system is likely to result in voluminous paperwork, delays, or incomplete training tasks.		Efficient Training Management and Tracking Software MasterControl automates the routing and delivery of training tasks and even automatic grading of online exams. Provides a secure, centralized, and Web-based repository for all training-related documents.

Disconnected Training Processes Changes made to SOP and other key documentation almost always require new training. If the training process is not connected to change control and other quality processes, training tasks are likely to fall through the cracks.		Connected Training Software System MasterControl Training integrates the training process with the rest of the quality system for a holistic approach. For example, the resolution of a corrective action will trigger an engineering change, an SOP change, and training of employees on the new SOP.

Poor Communication Tracking calls for two-way communication. The training coordinator needs to inform all trainees about their tasks and trainees need to communicate back upon completion of training. In between, there's a need to remind people or escalate tasks. Paper-based and hybrid systems create unnecessary work with uncoordinated e-mail messages, phone calls, and face-to-face communication that are difficult to track.		Efficient Communication Automates tracking and follow-up. Users are automatically notified about new training tasks. Upon completion of the task, the verifier is also automatically notified. Trainees have access to their training records with a personalized folder that shows past training, course due dates, and future training.

Lack of Oversight With a paper-based or hybrid system, it's hard to find out who needs what training when, or how many employees passed or failed the training. It's almost impossible to get the status of the training program in a timely manner.		Increased Oversight: MasterControl Training's advanced analytics and reporting capability includes customizable reports and online charting. The training coordinator can run a report according to required training by trainee, completed training by job code, or pending training by course, and find out how many people have completed their tasks.
