Description
Join Joe Franchetti at the Spring '24 Cannabis Science Conference for a half-hour lecture and Q&A on why ensuring the consistent quality of cannabis products has become imperative for both consumer safety and regulatory compliance—and how.
As the global cannabis industry continues to expand, ensuring the consistent quality of cannabis products has become imperative for both consumer safety and regulatory compliance. This session will explore the role of Quality Management Systems (QMS) in elevating the quality standards of cannabis products. The study investigates how the implementation of robust QMS principles and practices can contribute to the enhancement of various aspects of cannabis production, from cultivation to final product delivery.
Our research highlights key elements of QMS, such as documentation control, process optimization, and continuous improvement, as essential tools in fostering a culture of quality within the cannabis industry. By adopting standardized operating procedures, comprehensive testing protocols, and stringent quality control measures, cannabis businesses can mitigate risks associated with variability in product composition and potency.
