Unlike general quality management frameworks such as ISO 9001, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a regulatory requirement that specifically governs the production of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and dietary supplements. GMP standards mandate that manufacturing processes, facilities, personnel, and documentation be controlled and validated to guarantee safety, purity, and batch-to-batch consistency. Facilities are subject to periodic inspections by national regulatory authorities; a failed inspection can trigger product recalls or withdrawal of marketing authorisation. For pharmaceutical logistics providers, GMP compliance translates into continuous temperature monitoring throughout the cold chain, formal qualification of warehouses and transport equipment, and full batch traceability – obligations that go well beyond standard freight-forwarding practice.
