The cannabis industry is changing quickly, and businesses that only respond to problems often find it hard to meet rules, produce consistent products, and manage operations smoothly. This presentation discusses how adopting a proactive approach to quality management, based on GMPs, HACCP, ISO 17025:2017, and Good Laboratory/Research Practices, can improve cannabis operations from cultivation to sales. By using these systems together, cannabis businesses can anticipate and prevent issues, streamline their workflows, and establish repeatable, measurable processes. This helps them comply with regulations and differentiate themselves in the market. The session will detail how each framework contributes to an overall quality strategy, with real-world examples showing how proactive quality management can reduce errors, enhance product safety, and build trust with regulators, partners, and consumers.
