Building a Validation Program From Top to Bottom
Companies face many common issues or confusions that arise while creating a validation program such as, Though company has expertise in process validation but never quite able to keep up with facility and equipment changes requiring never ending equipment qualification (IQ, OQ, PQ). Sometimes matrix approach to cleaning validation has gaps or even worse customer or 483 audit findings due to the program's near impossibility to manage. How PLC-based systems or laboratory equipment should fall within the methods validation program, software validation program, or even the equipment qualification program?
Well, the answers to these and many, many more typical questions are now available in this simple to understand, yet detailed training session designed to help manufacturers of FDA regulated products build (or rebuild) a sustainable validation program.
