Automation and Validation of Information in Pharmaceutical Processing / Edition 1

by Joseph F. deSpautz

Overview

This thoroughly authoritative work furnishes organizational, technological, validation, project management, and business perspectives on pharmaceutical information automation from industry and system automation professionals-demonstrating how to fulfill computer system validation requirements for hardware, applications, networks, data center operations, and complex software management practices in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Explains how the Food and Drug Administration's latest Good Manufacturing Process guidelines supporting electronic identification and electronic signatures for batch record registration together with computer system technologies will influence pharmaceutical production automation!
Designed to provide quick and easy access to a whole range of system development topics, Automation and Validation of Information in Pharmaceutical Processing

defines a complete life-cycle methodology that integrates equipment, people, and information

presents concepts, guidelines, test plans, example forms, and application details for previously unavailable computer system validation of complex automated information systems

introduces, for the first time in depth, PQ testing of integrated manufacturing execution (MES) and manufacturing resource planning (MRP) applications

describes how human resource programs maximize productivity gains for automation initiatives

discusses approaches to automating batch operations with process control systems using industry examples and applicable computer technology concepts

provides an outline for IQ, OQ, and PQ test plans for process control systems, including forms for use in testing instrumentation and distributed control system installation and operations

employs a business analysis standpoint on life-cycle planning to justify new automation projects, including multiyear drug manufacturing plans

documents the successful application of life-cycle methodologies to supply chain functions

and much more!
Together with references, tables, and drawings, Automation and Validation of Information in Pharmaceutical Processing is an essential, hands-on resource for pharmaceutical scientists, manufacturers, and engineers; drug quality assurance and regulatory personnel; project and program manufacturers; information system professionals and software developers and analysts; information technology practitioners; and graduate-level and continuing-education students in these disciplines.

Editorial Reviews

"
For many workers in the pharmaceutical industry, the present volume will give them more information on the validation aspects of process automation than they ever dreamed possible. However, for those whose lives center around such work, the editor has developed a very comprehensive handbook. There is little about the planning, execution, and validation of automated processes that is lacking from this book, and I would think that it would become the little red book carried by every worker seeking entry into this area.
"-Pharmaceutical Development and Technology

"…gives a splendid overview on information technology in the pharmaceutical industry….It is worth reading, or rather working with, the book.

From the Publisher

gives a splendid overview on information technology in the pharmaceutical industry….It is worth reading, or rather working with, the book.

International Journal of Production Research

It is likely to prove indispensible for anyone who is involved with baked goods, be it in production, product development or research.

Trends in Food Science & Technology

In the present volume, we see that the approach to…alleviating human suffering from central nervous system injury appears in many guises that may not immediately seem to be related to the central issue—regeneration in lower animals, developmental mechanisms, cell death, gene expression in peripheral nerves, treatment of degenerative diseases.
