Human error is known to be the major cause of quality and production losses in many industries. Although it is unlikely that human error will ever be eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human errors start at the design stage. From procedures, training, and workplace environment many variables that affect human behavior CAN be manipulated reducing the likelihood of these occurrences.
To work with these challenges, it is really important to understand human behavior and the psychology of error as well as understand exactly where the systems' weaknesses are, so they can be improved and/or fixed.
This course offers practical approaches and models to address human performance issues in GMP-related environments by using a specific methodology to correct, prevent, and avoid the re-occurrence of these issues.
In the realm of manufacturing, precision and accuracy are crucial for ensuring the production of high-quality products. However, human errors can pose a significant challenge to achieving these goals. Whether it is a simple oversight or a lack of attention to detail, human errors can lead to costly defects, downtime, and even safety hazards.
This training would provide tools that can be implemented and used after this event. This includes practical tools. We will discuss human error categories, near root causes, and root causes for these events. We will discuss the latest trends in human error issues in the industry.
Human errors in manufacturing can have significant consequences on product quality, safety, and overall operational efficiency. However, by implementing robust strategies focused on training, documentation, workflow optimization, culture development, and continuous monitoring, manufacturers can unleash the power of precision and significantly reduce human error rates. The dedication to eliminating errors at every level of the organization will not only lead to improved product quality but also foster a culture of excellence and continuous improvement in the manufacturing industry.
Ginette Collazo, Ph. D. is an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist with more than 20 years of experience specializing in Engineering Psychology and Human Reliability. These disciplines study the interaction between human behavior and productivity. She has held positions leading Training and Human Reliability programs in the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Manufacturing Industry.
In 2009, Dr. Collazo established Human Error Solutions (HES), a US-based boutique consulting firm. She has positioned herself as one of the few Human Error Reduction Experts worldwide. HES, led by Dr. Collazo, developed a unique methodology for human error investigations, cause determination, CA-PA development, and effectiveness implemented and proven amongst different industries globally. Furthermore, this scientific method has been applied in critical quality situations and workplace accidents. As a GMP expert also has a Keynote Speaker at significant events around the world.
Ginette Collazo, Ph. D., is the author of several books, “Human Error: Root Cause Determination Model” and “Mission Matters: World Leading Entrepreneurs Reveal their Top Tips to Success.” Also, she is the host of The Power of Why Podcast. A show about human behavior in the workplace and critical thinking.
FDAnews has called her a “veteran of helping drug, biologic and device firms reduce manufacturing errors,” and the Caribbean Business describes her as “ the missing link in modern business.” Today her Error Reduction System has been implemented in all types of industries worldwide.
