Process Validation


This 2½ day program provides regulatory affairs experts, quality systems professionals, manufacturing engineers, and process development engineers with the knowledge and skills needed to comply with the process validation requirements of the FDA's Quality System regulation while offering information on how to implement an effective validation program. In 2006, FDA brought the course in-house to train Office of Compliance employees.

Objective
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to apply the principles of process validation to their operations and know how to choose relevant statistical tools and techniques. Plus, participants will come away with an understanding of the process validation guidance issued by the Global Harmonization Task Force in 2004.

Format
This program provides intensive coverage of the elements of process validation. The highly interactive format includes a variety of situational analyses that provides you with the opportunity to apply new information to actual process validation scenarios. Industry "best practices" are presented to demonstrate examples for compliance strategies. In addition, participants will work through a series of case studies that illustrate the various aspects of a validation program.
