Description
Process Validation is the most widely used technique in order to guarantee that a process yields the desired outcome over time.
It can be applied to virtually any types of processes, both manufacturing and service processes, and it is often required by international standards (like ISO 9001), and by applicable legislation, like in the medical devices or pharmaceutical field, automotive, food, aerospace, and so on.
Whatever the field, its application can be summarized in few basic steps and tools, whose comprehension enable you to perform almost every Process Validation required in the industry.
In this course, I will guide you through these principles and techniques with plain words and clear examples, so that at the end of the learning experience, you will be able to understand and apply these principles to your field of interest.
This knowledge is valuable both to managers and engineers involved in production processes, quality management, six sigma, and in general in any activity which required that a process yields specific outcomes over time in a reliable way.
Therefore... let us get started!
