DIFFERENCE BETWEEN QAAND QC
1. QA is process oriented and QC is product oriented.
2. QA is a set of activities for ensuring quality in the
processes by which products are developed QC is a set
of activities for ensuring quality in the products.
3. The activities focus on identifying defects in the actual
products produced.
4. QA is a managerial tool while QC is a corrective tool.
5. QA aims to prevent defects with a focus on the process used to
make the product while QC aims to identify and correct defects in
the finished products.
6. QA goal of QA is to improve development and test processes so
that defects do not arise when the product is being developed
while Goal of QC is to identify defects after a product is
developed and before its released.
7. QA aim is to prevent the defect. While QC aim is to identify and
improve the defects.
8. QA is the technique of managing the quality. While QC is method
to verify the quality.
9. QA does not involve executing the program. While
QC always involves executing the program.
10. All team members are responsible for QA. While
Testing team is responsible for QC.
QA e.g. Verification. While QC e.g. Validation.
11. QA means Planning for doing a process. QC Means
Action for executing the planned process.
12. Statistical Technique used on QA is known as
Statistical Process Control (SPC.)
Statistical Technique used on QC is known as Statistical
Quality Control (SPC.)
1. QA makes sure you are doing the right things. QC makes
sure the results of what youve done are what you expected.
2. QA Defines standards and methodologies to followed in
order to meet the customer requirements. QC ensures that the
standards are followed while working on the product.
3. QA is the process to create the deliverables. QC is the
process to verify that deliverables.
4. QA is responsible for full software development life cycle.
QC is responsible for software testing life cycle.
GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICE (GMP):
Good Manufacturing Practice is a part of quality assurance
which ensure that the products are consistently produced and
controlled according to quality standards appropriate to their
intended use.
GMP  A set of principles and procedures which, when
followed by manufacturers for the therapeutic goods, helps
ensure that the products manufactured will have the required
quality 
It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any
pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through
testing the final product.
GMP COVERS:  All aspects of production; from the
starting materials, premises and equipment to the training
and personal hygiene of staff.
 Detailed, written procedures are essential for each process
that could affect the quality of the finished product. 
There must be systems to provide documents proof that
correct procedures are consistently followed at each step in
the manufacturing process every time a product is made.
WHO GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICES FOR
PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS:
MAIN PRINCIPLES  GMP is that part of quality
management which ensures that products are consistently
produced and controlled according to the quality standards
appropriate to their intended use and as required by the
marketing authorization, clinical trial authorization or
product specification.
GMP is concerned with both production and QC.
GMP is aimed primarily at managing and minimizing the
risks inherent in pharmaceutical manufacture to ensure the
quality, safety and efficacy of products.
UNDER THE GMP:
1.All manufacturing processes are clearly defined,
systematically reviewed for associated risks in the light of
scientific knowledge and experience, and shown to be
capable of consistently manufacturing pharmaceutical
products of the required quality that comply with their
specifications.
2.Qualification and validation are performed.
3.All necessary resources are provided, including: 
sufficient and appropriately qualified and trained personnel,
 adequate premises and space,  suitable equipment and
services,  appropriate materials, containers and labels, 
approved procedures and instructions,  suitable storage
and transport,  adequate personnel, laboratories and
equipment for in- process controls;
4. Instructions and procedures are written in clear and unambiguous
language, specifically applicable to the facilities provided.
5. Procedures are carried out correctly and personnel are trained to do
so.
6. Records are made (manually and/or by recording instruments)
during manufacture to show that all the steps required by the defined
procedures and instructions have in fact been taken and that the
quantity and quality of the product are as expected. Any significant
deviations are fully recorded and investigated with the objective of
determining the root cause and appropriate corrective and preventive
action is implemented.
7. Records covering manufacture and distribution, which
enable the complete history of a batch to be traced, are
retained in a comprehensible and accessible form.
8. The proper storage and distribution of the products
minimizes any risk to their quality and takes account of
good distribution practices (GDP).
9. A system is available to recall any batch of product from
sale or supply.
10. Complaints about marketed products are examined, the
causes of quality defects investigated and appropriate
measures taken in respect of the defective products to
prevent recurrence.
