Management approval

Some facilities have the completed PSSR package go to the manager who owns the equipment under review for review or actual approval. Some MOC programs use the PSSR completion as the last step of the management of change process. In any case, consider having the manager on the distribution so that he or she may be informed of the PSSR completion.

Since receiving management approval to proceed, an assessment has been conducted to ascertain the status of PSM in each division. These assessments have found the following ... 

At this point in the process, you may find it useful to review the preliminary plan you presented for initial management approval (see Chapter2). That "first take" necessarily lacked the detail you are now able to provide. For example, your initial estimates of time requirements might have predicted 18 months for system design and installation now you reali2e that 24 months will be needed. While the initial plan will require changes, it should have components (organizational, stylistic, narrative) that can be adapted for use in the formal plan. 

Management approval and buy-in translates into many forms. Internal publicity is second only to continuing resource allocation in its value to your efforts. Effective ways of using management buy-in include ... 

Applications to and harvest of major crops such as coffee, bananas, and pineapples frequently involve procedures and equipment for which standard operating procedures have not been written. These must be identified in the planning stage, so that the Study Director or Principal Investigator can write these procedures with sufficient time to allow for review and approval. If a procedure is specific to the trial at hand, the process may be described in an addition or amendment to the protocol, but this still requires QA and management approval. In some cases, SOPs specific to a local crop are maintained at a regional site. SOPs must also be available at the site at which the raw data are archived.

Define what computer system validation would ultimately entail in a management-approved document, such as a policy statement. 

If an action item appears in a PrHA report and management chooses not to implement a corrective action, then the justification for not doing so must be documented and made part of the PrHA records. If management approves a particular corrective action and it is not implemented, justification must also be documented as part of the PrHA records. 

Approved by — each page of the SOP provides a space for the signature of the quality assurance manager approving the SOP to prevent unauthorized changes. 

At the completion of the documentation, a final report should be drafted to indicate the conclusion and acceptability of the installation. The final report must be approved by the departments that approved the protocol. These are likely to be engineering/technology, production quality assurance/quality control and operations, and the validation manager. Approval of the final report by the relevant departments makes the way clear for proceeding with operational testing. 

While these are two separate and distinct activities, each must complement the other to ensure a quality program. Day to day quality control in the laboratory is the obligation of the chemist. The chemist develops the methods, calibrates the instruments, and with management approval develops the standard operating procedures for the laboratory. Quality control is running duplicate samples, reagent blanks, fortification samples, linearity checks and confirmatory analyses. 

Phasing of process design is a normal issue in the process industries. A process design or substantial modification is done stepwise. Sequential steps in process design are carried out after management approvals of the process proposals. This means that project organization is of vital importance to direct activities and to...

Management should insist that reviews are conducted in a timely, efficient and cost effective manner. Schedule and cost estimates should be submitted by the project manager for senior management approval where appropriate. Where the use of a consultant is contemplated, whose costs and services may be extensive, competitive proposals should be sought, and the final selection approved by management. 

Obtain management approval for the resolution of the recommendations (prepare and obtain budgets and engineering designs). 

The validation summary report brings together all of the documentation collected throughont the whole of the life cycle and presents a recommendation for management approval when the system is validated. The emphasis is on using a summary report as a rapid and efficient means of presenring results as the detail is contained in the other documentation in the validation package (see Chapter 11 for more details).

Capital costs. Estimates with a 25% accuracy were made for these scoping studies. Additional engineering effort would be required to prepare an estimate with a 10% accuracy typically needed for management approval. 

The most cost-effective schedule will be determined during AFE preparation but all schedule improving measures that could have an adverse effect on capital cost must have specific management approval. 

All these restrietions impact both cost and schedule and must be addressed before the appropriation estimate and the MPS are issued for management approval.

There are three aspects of security physical security (e.g., locks for buildings, badge access to secure rooms), logical security (e.g., passwords for computers or networks, smart cards), and operational policies and procedures (e.g., oath of office, management approval). Adequately protecting assets and assuring personal privacy requires attention.
