Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) states that automation may be used in the manufacture, processing, packing, and holding of a drug product. However these systems should be properly specified, designed, and tested (validated). They also must be adequately monitored and maintained and people involved in the maintenance and use of these systems must be adequately trained, with records of that training kept.
This webinar provides an overview of the different types of automation available, investigates opportunities for automation within manufacturing, and discusses relevant regulatory requirements. It also looks a little deeper at the must commonly used control system type, the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and the validation and management of such systems.
The most difficult systems to validate and manage, including issues and how to best manage them, are reviewed.
Participants will learn the varying options for process automation, as well as the issues related to their development, verification and validation.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the different types of control systems (PID, PLC, SCADA, DCS, etc.)
- Investigate areas for automation within a typical process
- Clarify the regulatory requirements associated with automation (using both the US CFRs and the EU Orange Guide)
- Discuss the architecture and principle operation of a PLC
- Review the different types of PLC programming
- Review the principles for the development and validation of all control systems
- Obtain an understanding for the types of procedural controls and maintenance aspects necessary to ensure continued compliance of these systems
- Review the typical BMS concerns
- Discuss the regulatory position on BMS
- Understand how a BMS should be managed
- Investigate the options available to bring a legacy BMS into compliance
Who Should Attend:
- Professionals who are responsible for the implementation and management of process automation
- Suppliers and others involved in process automation, such as quality assurance and quality control specialists, validation scientists, manufacturing supervisors, technical support personnel, engineers, and all levels of management
