How can SAP S/4HANA support a GMP compliant production process?

The correct answer is related to the important role of Engineering Change Management in terms of ensuring that recipes used in production are properly approved. In a GMP-compliant production process, having a clear and robust method for approving changes to recipes is crucial. This process minimizes risks associated with changes in formulation or production procedures that could affect product quality or safety.

Engineering Change Management allows organizations to formally document and audit changes to production recipes. By implementing formal approval workflows, it ensures that any modifications are systematically reviewed and validated before being applied to production. This thorough process fosters compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices by maintaining a high standard of quality control and ensuring that all changes are beneficial and do not compromise the safety or efficacy of the product being manufactured.

While other options also play roles in supporting GMP compliance, the specific emphasis on recipe approval as part of Engineering Change Management underlines the necessity for systematic and regulated adjustments in the production process, setting the foundation for continuous compliance and quality assurance.
