Quality Risk Management - How to Apply ICH Q9 In Practice
Quality Risk Management (QRM) is a requirement of the pharmaceutical industry and concerns the process of identifying, evaluating and mitigating risks connected with development and manufacture of medicines and other related products.

It covers the use of QRM in development, manufacturing, engineering, validation and other functions.
