Process Identification and Monitoring
Each step in the production process is defined on the system (e.g. granulation, drying, coating). The order of these steps, their inputs and expected parameter ranges are determined.
Features
- Creating Process Flow
- Determining Parameter Ranges
- Critical Control Points
- Time Stamped Record
Creating a Process Flow
The process flow chart is defined. In this step, each production process step is followed in the correct order and its requirements are clearly determined. The flow chart is a guide that shows the relationship and order of process steps.
Determination of Parameter Ranges
Target temperature, time, rpm, etc. parameter ranges are determined for each process. This feature ensures that the specific parameters required in each step are kept at the correct values. Target values maintain production efficiency and quality standards.
Critical Control Points
Mandatory operator approval or double-checking is implemented for critical steps. This ensures that critical steps are monitored and approved. Operators provide approvals or apply double-checking mechanisms to ensure the accuracy of processes.
Timestamped Log
A timestamped log is created for each step’s completion. This feature allows data to be recorded for when each process started and was completed. Timestamps ensure that the production process proceeds on time and in an orderly manner.
