Hi all,
I need to have a better understanding of process validations - validation vs. verification, master validation plans, IQ/OQ/PQ, etc. Any suggestions on books, articles, or other resources that you could point me to? I would really like something that is not specific to medical devices.
Thanks in advance,
Sarah
Hi,
Verification refers to inputs and validation to output.
Verification mean " are you doing what you said you would do to achiev your objectives"
Validation means " have you been EFFECTIVE and have actually achieved your objective"
Eg let's say you have an objective of making a tasteful food
The iputs you use is a standard recpie and tools
The verification is to check that you are using a stanard recpie and the tools you said that you would us
The validation is to check if the dish is tasteful.
If the dish is distasteful, it eamns that you need a new recpie.
Validation concept is very powerful.
I beileve it can actually make an organisation better.
If a solution you found was eventually ineefective in solving the problem,, you need to relook at the soln u thght in the first place.
There are "special process" which cannot be validated befoe they are given to custoner.
Thus, in these can be reviwed by the customer themsleves via feedback forms.
In a restaurant environment quality of service, taste of food etc is reviwed by the custmer. Andthus validaed.
Hope this helps!!!
