Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP; German: Gute Automatisierte Herstellungspraxis) is a set of standards and guidelines designed to ensure the safety, reliability and quality of automated systems and processes in a variety of sectors, such as pharmacy, biotechnology, food processing and other areas where automated systems are used to manufacture products. GAMP serves to validate computer-aided systems in the pharmaceutical industry (translation into German: pharmazeutische Industrie), among others, both for manufacturers and suppliers.

The basic principles and requirements of Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP) include the following:

• Qualification and validation: GAMP requires that automated systems and processes undergo qualification and validation procedures to ensure that they meet the defined requirements and specifications.
• Development and documentation: The development of automated systems (German translation: automatisierte Systeme) should be well documented and each system must have complete documentation, including specifications, installation and operating instructions, and technical documentation.
• Change management (German: Änderungsmanagement): Changes to automated systems must be made in a controlled and documented manner, followed by a review and validation of the changes.
• Data security (German: Datensicherheit): The systems must guarantee the security and integrity of the data as well as their protection against unauthorized access.
• Quality control systems: GAMP defines standards for quality control and process management systems, including monitoring and data recording.
• Staff training: The staff working with automated systems must be trained and qualified to use and manage them.
• Compliance with regulations: GAMP requires compliance with all applicable national and international laws and regulations, including those of the pharmaceutical industry, if applicable.
• Audits and inspections: Conducting audits and inspections to monitor compliance with GAMP standards and requirements for automated systems.

GAMP plays an important role in ensuring the safety and reliability of automated systems and processes, which is particularly important in industries where they are used to manufacture products, including drugs and foodstuffs. Proper implementation of GAMP helps to prevent malfunction and accidents, ensure data integrity and achieve high product quality.
