Program Quality Verification

Government Institutes, Inc., 1993, ISBN 0-86587-336-4, 120 pages, 49. This OSHA Inspection manual covers process safety management (PSM) compliance guidelines, PSM audit guidelines, clarifications and interpretations of the PSM standard, and SIC codes targeted for the program quality verification inspections. 

OSHA has its own protocol for inspections (Instruction CPL 2-2.45A). It is based on the Program-Quality-Verification (PQV) inspection method.

Quality assurance is part of the regulations specified by the national standards organizations such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Quality assurance applies to any material or component or a fabricated structure in the sense that their satisfactory performance in service conditions is assured. The quality assurance and control programs in Canada are contained in Canadian Standards Association document CAN3-Z 299.1-85 consisting of four parts. The four parts of the standard are such that Part 1 covers quality assurance, Part 2 refers to quality control, Part 3 refers to quality verification, and Part 4 deals with quality inspection.

Personnel who perform quality verification activities within the Reactor Divi on are qualified and/or certified, as appropriate, based on the requirements of the WSRC (Quality Assurance Manual. Qualificatioiis/ceitification programs include documentation of capability through either written tests and/or physical demonstrations of skill and continued maintenance of the individual s profidentty based upon retraining or continued satis ctory performance (Ref 6-35). 

Tools should be used since they relieve staff from manual error prone tasks such as programming and verification. They help to achieve a reproducible level of quality, in part guaranteed and demonstrated by the evidence provided by their past usage. 

For Z, the facilitator went to the lab area and interviewed all the first article program managers (review the discussion in the first part of Chapter 1 if any of these terms are confusing). He also interviewed all the members of the quality verification lab (QVC), all the team leads, all the engineers in the electronics labs, all their management, and a few individuals who had recently left the lab area for work elsewhere on the base. The facilitator focused on these questions ... 

This is ensured by the surveillance program put in place by the Reactor Quality Verification Group (RQV). 

Product verification requires inspection and testing programs to confirm that product meets the quality requirements. In PSM and ESH terms, the product is the management of environmental, health and safety issues and may be difficult to separate from measurement (Chapter 7) and Audit. 

Several other benefits can be derived from a viable predictive maintenance management program verification of new equipment condition, verification of repairs and rebuild work and product quality improvement. 

An important measure for quality is the verification by MD or SA of the stability of a molecular model. Other programs (e.g., PROCHECK) can also be used to check the globular geometrical quality of a structure to avoid serious defects in the geometry of proteins. 

The owner s Inspector is responsible to the owner to verify that all required examinations, inspections, and testing are complete. The owner s Inspector verifies that all required certifications and records have been completed. Also, the owner s Inspector is responsible for verification of the construction organization s quality systems program implementation. 

The focus of the validation program is usually the quality attributes of the system implementation, change control, and the verification and testing of modifications made to the baseline system. The configuration management of the system, including its documentation, is a key area of concern. Specifically, documentation management is extremely critical for the information contained in both the master production records, and in the application. 

The vendor qualification policy will ensure that vendor qualification activities are performed under the auspices of quality assurance. Additionally, a thorough review of the vendor qualification ownership will be performed, and additional resources will be assigned, if needed. An expanded training program will be developed and implemented to ensure that all staff associated with the vendor qualification program are trained on the new and improved policy and procedures. Verification and monitoring of conformance with the company s vendor qualification policy and procedures will be performed periodically through internal company audits. 

Computer workstations can be used to monitor and integrate the functions of one or more analyzers. Typically, the workstation serves as the point of interaction with the instrument operator, accepts test orders, monitors the testing process, assists with analysis of process quality, and provides facilities for review and verification of test results. The workstation is usually directly interfaced with the LIS host, accepting downloaded test orders, and uploading test results. Most workstations have facilities to display Levy-Jennings quality control charts, to monitor the progress of each test order, and to troubleshoot the analyzers. They may also provide facilities to assist with the review of completed test results. Some workstations have rule-based software, which allows the operator to program rules for autoverification of test results (MODULAR Middleware Software). 

Program Guidance Manual, 2006), stating Clinical trial quality assurance units (QAUs) are not required by regulation. However, many sponsors have clinical QAUs that perform independent audits/data verifications to determine compliance with clinical trial SOPs and FDA regulations . 

Quality Assurance. The quality assurance program consisted of a sample chain of custody verification, precautions to guard against and to detect seunple contamination, verification of precision and accuracy and intercalibration with two other laboratories to verify results from our extraction and analysis procedures. This program is detailed in the unpublished Final Report of the overall study to the FL Department of Natural Resoiurces (1 0). Interlaboratory calibration consisted of three phases 1) instrument inter-... 

Audits by a quality unit within the organization are routine checks of the stability program and include verification of the data collected for the studies presented in reports. In addition, the regulatory agencies will do inspections (PAI) of programs and facilities for a specific product or as a routine inspection of a facility (general GMP inspection).
