Technical Compliance Responsible
Computerised Systems Validation Responsible
Equipment Qualification Responsible
Commissioning & Qualification (C&Q) Responsible
Persons responsible for validating manufacturing processes
Suppliers (automation systems, Process Orchestration Layer (POL), Process Equipment Assemblies (PEAs)

Objectives
You will learn
a risk-based approach to ensuring compliance in the procurement process for pre-qualified Plug & Produce equipment in a pragmatic way, whilst conserving resources;
how to integrate pre-qualified Plug & Produce equipment into modular systems in a regulatory-compliant manner: physically, functionally and organisationally;
how to efficiently demonstrate the qualified status of the overall (modular) system;
how to identify the relevant stakeholders and critical issues, and derive essential training topics and measures.
be aware of the relevant topics that you should implement step by step to ensure the regulatory compliant implementation of Quality & Compliance by Design (Q&CbD) for Plug & Produce in GxP-regulated smart manufacturing facilities.
