Management support, implementation

MCP s success relies on the continuing support and commitment of the company s senior management. It is vital that such support be enlisted at the earliest stages of PSM design. The PSM implementation effort requires resources given the inevitable competition for limited resources within any organization, senior management support is a key success factor.

Where a LIMS implementation project is split over a number of different locations (e.g., different laboratories or different sites) but is designed to provide an integrated solution, it may be appropriate to produce individual Validation Plans and associated documentation for each of the LIMS location. Where an installation is implemented and supported on a company corporate basis, it may be more appropriate for the VMP and the resulting validation documentation for the core LIMS to be managed from a central location. In such cases Validation Plans and associated validation documentation supporting the local implementation should be maintained on site. 

In addition, many of the variables that were up to now modeled as input variables should instead be modeled as dependent output variables. To do so, the interdependencies between the parameters must be quantified based on further literature analysis and on surveys of experts. An assistance program for the creation of simulation models will be conceptualized and implemented to support project managers in modeling new concepts of design processes. This contains both the conversion of the C3 model in an executable simulation model as well as the partial automation of test runs for the optimization of workflow management. 

Microsoft Excel is often the tool of choice for researchers to process and manage their data. However, as those datasets grow, Excel s scalability limitations become apparent, since it cannot work with datasets above a certain length or width and the automation of Excel is nontrivial to implement or support. 

Senior management has overall responsibility for setting up, implementing and maintaining a company policy and a derived set of procedures on the validation and use of IT systems. Without executive management support, however, business pressures can often lead to validation practice being compromised. 

Management support must be obtained to implement changes and new ideas, with emphasis on cost savings, safety, and ease of operation. 

So whilst corporate Brand Zero operates within a controllable and manageable site context, where specified practices could be easily implemented to support the achievement of zero, operatives struggle the clinical, clean zero and the complex, confused site environment is not easily reconciled within the context of everyday practice. Whilst zero is deceptively simple, people are simply complicated, and the practice of work on site is highly influential in the construction of a reality of unsafety, in which zero remains a number that can never be attained.
