The activities of the group are efficient, open, flexible, encourage and custom oriented. The activities are continuously developed to respond the internal and external challenges. The aim of the quality management system of PMC research group is to guarantee that the activities of the group responses to the internal and external needs. The quality system supports the research of the PMC group and is a part of the research practises of the group. The quality of the activities of the PMC research group is based on the personnel's skills, commitment, motivation and cooperation as well as the continuous development of all these areas. The quality management system improves the competitiveness of the research, the skills and productiveness of the PMC research group and supports the increasing cooperation in research. The quality managements system of the PMC group is developed in cooperation with the management and personnel. The aim of the quality system is to create and maintain the systematic and traceable documentation of all phases of the research. The quality policy of PMC research group is based on the quality policy of the University of Kuopio, and the Faculty of Pharmacy. 3.1.1 Quality levels The quality work of the PMC research group is performed on the level, which best serves the purpose. The quality work of the group has been categorised into three levels: academic research, cooperative research and student laboratory work. 3.1.1.1 Academic research The academic research includes the research that has scientific publications or degrees as outcome (for example the postgraduate studies of the Ph.D. students, the research done by graduate students). The academic research follows high scientific standards and those standard Page 12/16
University of Kuopio Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry research group Version 8 operation procedures of the group (SOP’s of general issues, personnel, research, methods and equipment) that are relevant for the research. The main goal of the quality work in the academic research is to ensure the validity, traceability and documentation of the research. 3.1.1.2 Cooperative research The cooperative research follows the high scientific quality based on the expertise and general quality management system of the PMC research group. For example, the cooperative quality level is included to all of the cooperative researches of the Drug Analysis Laboratory. The level of the quality in cooperative research is instructed more specifically and accurately than in the academic research. The level of the quality is developed according to the needs and requirements of the collaborators (i.e., validations and quality assurance). If, for example, the equipment is used for the cooperative research, all users follow the higher quality level instructions when using the equipment. 3.1.1.3 Laboratory work of the students The laboratory work of the students includes all teaching performed in the facilities of the PMC research group by a graduate student. The students are introduced to those operating procedures of methods and equipments that are needed in their work. They register as users of methods and equipment on the registration form of students and follow the procedures during their work. 3.2 Purpose of the quality system The purpose of the quality system is to ensure the reliability and traceability of the research maintain and continuously develop the systematic quality and documentation system increase contentment of the collaborators and the operation of cooperation projects promote the high quality of the research improve the efficiency and productiveness of the activities in the group follow and improve the achievement of aims of the group support the development of personnel assist the management in developing the activities 3.3 Responsibilities The personnel and the management of the PMC research group are responsible for the maintenance and development of the quality system. The management is responsible for setting the aims and arranging the resources for the quality work. The management leads, supervises and develops the quality system together with the quality assurance management. The quality assurance management has the main responsibility for the quality management system; its establishment, implementation, maintenance and development. 3.4 Structure of the quality management system The structure of the quality management system of the PMC research group is presented in Figure 2.

University of Kuopio Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry research group Version 8 Quality Manual Process Flow Charts General Procedures Personnel Procedures Research Procedures Method Procedures Equipment Procedures Figure 2. The structure of the quality management system of the PMC research group. The quality management system consists of a quality manual, process flow charts and standard operation procedures (SOP). The quality manual and SOPs are available to the personnel as paper versions in the laboratories and as an electronic version on the internal file server (Samba) of the group. The quality system is regularly evaluated by internal audits (both by the research group and by the internal audits of the University of Kuopio). The audits by the collaborators are performed as and needed (for example in the cooperation research projects). 3.4.1 Quality manual The quality manual is the description of the activities in the PMC research group. It describes the general principles of operations and the quality system of the group. The quality manual is established and maintained by the quality assurance persons together with the management of the group. The quality manual is checked by the responsible persons of the research areas, quality checked by the quality assurance person and approved by the group leader. The quality manual is evaluated every other year and after any changes in the activities that influence the manual. The appendices of the quality manual can be changed separately to the manual. All changes of the quality manual are informed to the personnel (for example by e-mail or in the laboratory meetings). After the new version of the quality manual is available, the old version is archived. The quality assurance person is responsible for the evaluation and archiving of the quality manual. The quality manual is printed from the internal file server of the research group. After the quality manual has been printed, the person marks printing date and initials to first page of the manual. If the printed and marked quality manual is copied, the person marks the copying date and initials on first page of the manual. When the appendices are printed or copied the person marks printing or copying date and initials on each and every page of the appendices. Page 14/16
University of Kuopio Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry research group Version 8 3.4.2 Standard operation procedures (SOPs) The standard operation procedures (SOPs) conduct and standardise the activities and operations of the PMC research group. The purpose of the standard operating procedures is to ensure that all operations are well planned and tested, and that the operation is always performed at same manners independently regardless the operator or the time when the operation is performed. Also the step by step traceability of the operations is ensured. The quality system of the research group is guided and controlled by the standard operation procedures (SOPs). The general standard operation procedures conduct the general operations (for example, the formulation of procedures and registers, maintenance of the documents and archiving). The research procedures conduct, for example, the use of laboratory notebooks, work safety, the rules of laboratory work, and the maintenance of the equipment. The personnel procedures guide the introduction, responsibilities, job descriptions and training of the personnel. The method procedures are instructions for performing an experiment. The procedures of the equipment guide the use and maintenance of the equipment. The SOPs can be written in Finnish or English or in both languages depending on the need. 3.4.3 Process flow charts The main processes of the PMC research group are research, cooperation research and education. The supportive processes are the quality system processes: maintenance processes and development of the quality system, new SOP, new SOP-version, removal of SOP, archiving, auditing, and introduction and training of the personnel. The processes are presented as flow charts. 3.5 Developing and measurement The quality system of the PMC research group is developed by - internal audits - feedback from personnel - feedback from collaborators - discussions in the meetings or seminars The operation of the quality system is evaluated by the personnel questionnaire. The questionnaire is collected at least every second year. It includes topics of the quality work, its maintenance and development. The results of the questionnaire are discussed and actions decided with the personnel in the group seminars. The quality system is developed according to the results of the questionnaire. 3.5.1 Audits The operation of the quality system is followed and developed by the results of the internal audits.
