Quality planning

Several methods have evolved to achieve, sustain, and improve quality, they are quality control, quality improvement, and quality assurance, which collectively are known as quality management. This trilogy is illustrated in Figure 2.1. Techniques such as quality planning, quality costs, Just-in-time , and statistical process control are all elements of... 

A statement of work which you require the subcontractor to perform - it might be design, development, management, or verification work and will include a list of required deliverables such as project plans, quality plans, production plans, drawings, test data, etc. You need to be clear as to the interfaces both organizationally and technically (see Part 2 Chapter 4).

All activities of the overall management function that determine the quality policy, objectives, and responsibilities and implement them by means such as quality planning, quality control, and quality improvement within the quality system (ISO 8402).

It is essential that all data generated and any other records or samples (if possible) are retained so that they are available for inspection at a later date. This means that there must be a secure and properly controlled archive, with an archivist to maintain it. The archive will contain a copy of the Study Plan, quality assurance reports, records of staff including their curriculum vitae (CV) and training records. Access to the archive has to be strictly controlled, and any additions to or withdrawals from the archive must be logged (see also electronic records in Section 9.2.1.8). Such removal or additions can only be undertaken by stated personnel. 

Planning quality improvement, implementing the plan, analysing the results and re-plamung is a continuous cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act). Interrelated improvement plans are deployed at all levels of the laboratoiy (corporate, department, process, individual). It is essential to note that the commitment of laboratory personnel is maximized when such personnel is actively involved in the generation and deployment of the improvement plans. 

In order to implement the quality policy in the daily work, quality management systems are installed, covering quality planning, quality control, quality assurance and quality improvement. To ensure that the quality assurance system is in place and effective, external standards are used, for example the DIN EN ISO 9000 ff. standard system, commonly shortened to ISO 9000 (DIN is an acronym for Deutsches InstitutfiXr Normung, meaning German Industry Standard ).

Typically, managers, their peers, end-users, and those responsible for delivering the system, approve validation plans. Quality assurance may also sign the document. The validation project plan and the requirements specification deliverable, together define the technical and regulatory requirements applicable for a project.

There are several reasons why a quality system must be fully documented. Firstly it is a pre-requisite of most quality standards. Secondly, in most laboratories it would be impossible to accurately remember and hence communicate all of the analytical methodology and quality management procedure to staff. This would lead to the quality system becoming compromised due to slalT turnover. Thirdly the process of audit (see Section 5.1) requires a precise definition of the planned quality system. This is provided by the documentation. 

Writing study plans may not be a very big problem for Study Directors used to planning ahead. Since in a test facility under GLP, the study plan has to contain information enabling a later reconstruction of the study, some training in the correct drawing up of study plans. Quality Assurance will have, in this phase even more than later, the responsibility for a timely review of these plans for GLP compliance. 

Contents include definitions, study planning, quality assurance and control and data quality assessment, sample acquisition, and requirements for analytical laboratories. Appendices cover a hypothetical case history for drum characterization and a survey of statistical techniques. 

Analytical methodology was developed for accurate quantitative analysis of trichothecenes at low part-per-billion levels in blood. Although this methodology was arduous and lacked the ruggedness normally demanded of an analytical procedure which must nave a low failure rates it proved to be both qualitatively reliable and quantitatively accurate when it was combined with a well planned quality assurance program. An indispensable part of developing the quality assurance plan was a formal risk assessment which specifically took into account the possibility of human error. 

It therefore becomes necessary to quantify quality in the frame of quality assurance tests. Quahty assurance comprises all activities that lead to fulfillment of the defined requirements. They include the totality of operations in quality management, quality planning, quality directing, and quahty tests. 

Quality management defines the quality policy for quality planning, quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC). The corresponding processes should be appropriate to meet the supplier s business goals. In particular, the following issues are relevant ... 

The value of the stoichiometric yield of a process is of secondary importance for the productivity and thus the production-integrated environmental protection. The material planning quality BA, of a process is more important, because the aim of production-integrated environmental protection is an increase in the material planning productivity [58 a]. MFA as a computer based method allows systematic management via parametic studies. The main aim is the maximization of the output of the target...

Joseph M. Juran was another of the quality gurus of the same era as Dr. Deming. Juran developed the quality trilogy of quality planning, quality control, and quality improvement to help organizations reduce costs that can be associated with poor quality. 

Safety Management and Regulation Group. It will cover topics such as worker training, job planning, quality assurance, audit, inspection, operation readiness review, and regulations. 

In addition to ERP (core) systems, a wide variety of business application systems (ERP modules) exist that provide interfaces to these ERP systems. In this context, different variations could be noticed in the development of ERP systems in recent years. While some ERP vendors tend to integrate an extensive range of functionality into their own systems, others follow the best-of-breed approach. For this, the most appropriate ERP modules (e.g., for detailed manufacturing planning, quality management, or personnel time recording) are installed around the...

Using the distributed control system a network of control can be built up in modular fashion. Individual process control units are applied to single plant units and communicate either with each other or with a central computer via a data highway. Via the same highway, links are also available for production management information, production planning, quality control involvement, whether on- or off-line and costing operations (von Klosterlein and Vos, 1983).
