Verification resources

It is quite normal to provide sufficient resources to produce product. However, when it comes to verifying that you have done what you say you will do, there is a tendency to underestimate or to cut verification resources when costs escalate. These cuts are often seen as a risk worth taking. Another common weakness is defining requirements that are desirable rather than essential and then not verifying that they have been implemented. Being able to demonstrate provision of adequate verification resources is another sign of commitment to quality (see Defining commitment to quality above). 

The Review Document reaffirmed the obligation of the CW-possessors to destroy their CW stockpiles within the CWC-specified timelines, and urged them to exploit scientific and technological developments to enable more effective use of verification resources. It also called on other States Parties to support these efforts and provide assistance where possible. In addition, the RevCon reiterated the obligation of States Parties possessing converted former CW production facilities to report annually for 10 years on the activities at those sites and to open them to inspection. 

The First Review Conference noted that a large part of the OPCW s verification resources have in the past been spent on the verification of chemical weapons destruction operations. The planned increase in chemical weapons destruction in coming years and any resource constraints will require a thorough review of the current verification methodology used for chemical weapons destruction verification, as part of the effort to optimise the verification regime of the Convention. 

Have adequate resources been provided for management, performance of work, and verification activities ... 

The standard requires the supplier to provide appropriate technical resources for tool and gage design, fabrication, and verification activities, establish a system for tooling management, and implement a system to tack and follow-up tooling management activities if any work is subcontracted. 

The standard requires that the design and verification activities he assigned to qualified personnel equipped with adequate resources. 

There are hidden gold mines under our noses—in house data becomes the new lamps for old on the tons of old clinical data from 50 years of R D— but of course, none of it is electronically accessible. It is called a library Many organizations have undertaken huge OCR (optical character recognition) projects to scan laboratory notebooks—some data even exists on microfilm and microfiche. As it is a legal requirement for a drug submission to provide provenance of scanned notebooks [38], paper, and microfilm, many businesses concentrate solely on the capture and verification of this data, rather than considering it a valuable resource to be remined.

The objective of data validation and verification, along with strict QA/QC procedures, is to ensure the quality of data for reliable mineral resource estimates. 

The laboratory shall define the characteristics of the materials, reagents and instrument to be purchased and evaluate the ability of the eligible suppliers to supply the required materials and/or services. The verification process that is, the process to ensure that the purchased products conform to the defined requirements shall be defined and the necessary resources, including persormel, shall be provided.

All relevant departments are provided with adequate resources and trained personnel for the activities related to product realization including inspection, test, monitoring of the design, production, installation, and servicing of the process and/or product. Verification and audit activities are carried out by personnel independent of those having direct responsibility for the work being performed. 

We all want to be trusted - it s a fundamental human need. Trust is something one earns. A basic principle of science is that experiments should be repeatable. That is, one investigator should be able to repeat the work of another. If experiments can t be repeated, then the trustworthiness of the original investigator may ccme into question. However, we cannot count on duplication as the only method of verification. There are simply not enough resources to do that. In addition, it would not be a wise use of resources to verify everything done by the industry by repeating the experiments. 

While sample documentation and tracking protocols, as well as QA/QC procedures, have been in place and in effect for many years, their application is tailored to the needs and resources of each individual project, with some exploratory or field-feedback studies requiring much less verification than other regulatory or complaint series. Flexibility in experimental design is imperative if a facet of an investigation is to be completed in accordance with its significance and allocated resources. However, since several of our programs are potentially answerable to GLP s, it was deemed important that the laboratories current level of compliance be established so as to accurately measure the full fiscal and scientific impact to be felt if we should attempt to institute a formal GLP structure. 

The effect that verification and testing activities have on financial resources is noticeable. A potential saving of 50% on software maintenance can make a sizeable impact on overall life cycle cost. 

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.
