| dc.description.abstract | Background: The pharmaceutical industry is a licensed business entity responsible
for drug manufacturing, including procurement of raw materials, production,
packaging, quality control, and distribution. To ensure the safety, efficacy, and
quality of medicines, pharmaceutical industries must implement Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP/CPOB). PT. Faratu, located in Bekasi, is a national
pharmaceutical company producing non-betalactam oral liquid dosage forms, non-
betalactam semisolid dosage forms, and medical devices.
Objective: The Pharmacist Professional Work Practice (PKPA) in the
pharmaceutical industry aims to enhance pharmacy students’ understanding of the
roles, responsibilities, and functions of pharmacists, particularly in implementing
GMP/CPOB and quality assurance systems.
Summary: The PKPA was conducted at PT. Faratu from December 3, 2024, to
January 31, 2025, focusing on practical activities within the Quality Control (QC)
Department and an introduction to other departments such as Quality Assurance
(QA), Production, Warehouse, and Engineering. Activities included quality
evaluation, process validation, documentation, storage and distribution systems, as
well as understanding the production process in accordance with GMP standards.
Conclusion: The PKPA at PT. Faratu provided practical experience in the
implementation of GMP and quality systems in the pharmaceutical industry. A
pharmaceutical industry requires at least three pharmacists responsible for
production, quality assurance, and quality control. Through this program, students
gained valuable insights into the professional responsibilities of pharmacists in
ensuring the quality, safety, and efficacy of medicines. | en_US |
