Problem reporting, computer system

Periodic reviews may also be prompted by reported or suspected problems with GMP compliance. When a periodic review determines a deviation from approved conditions or practices this must be investigated and corrective action approved. If there is a need to redocument or retest the computer system, then the need for revalidation must be assessed and the resulting rationale documented.

If a case report form must be used, the form can be scanned or faxed into a computer system. This form is then read using optical character recognition (OCR) and converted to raw data. The accuracy of OCR applications is high, but the data must be checked to ensure quality. The OCR software can have problems with ambiguous data. For example, the letter 1 and number 1 can look the same on paper. The elimination of the data entry step saves both time and money. Careful design of the case report form and good instructions to the end user will minimize entry errors. 

Perform a quick walk-through of key computer systems and user workstations in the facility at their point of use. Consider conducting a mock inspection. Pull the records from archives (can information be retrieved in a timely manner ). Review documentation for obvious errors — a fresh pair of eyes Identify potential problem areas and have answers prepared. Final computer validation reports should be available in English for the FDA. 

We use an Artificial Intelligence technique called the Problem Decomposition Strategy (14, 15) to tackle this problem. We divide the problem of computing a quantity into a number of sub-problems, each involving the computation of a formula with several sub-quantities. When more than one formula is applicable, they are tried one by one. The entire problem space can be represented as an AND/OR tree, and a Depth-first Recursive Search is employed to traverse the tree. The leaf nodes represent quantities whose values are known. The search terminates at the leaf nodes and returns the value to the level above. When a dead-end is reached, the system progressively backtracks to the levels above in an attempt to select smother formula. If the complete search space is exhausted, the system reports that the problem is unsolvable and prompts the user for more information. 

As reported by Munk, the earliest example of a real-world structure elucidation problem with computational techniques was performed in 1967 to determine the structure of actinobolin. Degradation reactions of actinobolin were performed leading to substructures from which an early version of ASSEMBLE generated six viable candidates. Subsequent spectroscopic studies were performed on these six, and the correct structure was isolated. This procedure, in total, reportedly took several man-years to complete. By way of comparison, this problem was revisited recently with the SESAMI system with 1-D and 2-D NMR data derived from actinobolin acetate. SESAMI, in conjunction with some simple experiments and other data, resolved the correct structure, with the entire process munbering in days as opposed to years. 

POLYMATH (http //www.polymath-software.com) is a proven computational system, which has been specifically created for educational or professional use. The various POLYMATH programs allow the user to apply effective numerical analysis techniques during interactive problem-solving on personal computers. Results are presented graphically for easy understanding and for incorporation into papers and reports. Students, engineers, mathematicians, scientists, or anyone with a need to solve problems will appreciate the elSciency and speed of problem solution. 

PMB services include all PM A items, and also include an oil and filter change, as well as more in-depth checks of the engine and drivefine. A PM B in many cases also includes a download of any onboard computer diagnostics, and action on any trouble codes or problems reported by the diagnostic system (if apphcable). 

Reliability is reported in terms of the probability of adequate functioning of a system and its exact quantification requires the calculation of a multi-dimensional integral with a nonlinear integration boundary. Because there is rarely a close-form solution, this calculation is one of the major concerns of classical approaches to solve reliability problems, which adopt approximation methods that rely on several simplifications of the original problem to compute a reliability estimate, often leading to inaccurate results, especially in highly nonlinear problems.
