Part two of this article series shows how traditional statistical process control rules can be relaxed or adjusted to allow charting and evaluation of real-life data of pharmaceutical processes with a reduced number of false alarms.
Part two of this article series shows how traditional statistical process control rules can be relaxed or adjusted to allow charting and evaluation of real-life data of pharmaceutical processes with a reduced number of false alarms. Ten practical tools or measures are suggested for minimizing false alarms among process data plotted as is on charts, provided concurrent process performance and product quality are demonstrated. This pragmatic approach reduces the number of futile investigations of apparent innocuous process deviations and streamlines the implementation of the third process validation stage of continued process verification or ongoing process verification.
