Description :Assuring accurate measurements is important when establishing specifications during product design and development, during process validation and for assuring product performance while testing for lot release.Assuring accurate measurements accounts for a significant amount of time and resources in assuring product conformance. This talk will shed light on the issues for maintaining a successful measurement and calibration program.Participants should have some previous experience with calibration and measurement systems, but otherwise, this talk is applicable to all levels, especially management, as it covers underlying principles in a simplified format. (These are often overlooked in other basic and intermediate how to courses).Areas Covered in the Session :General data integrity and calibration conceptsHow to instill meta-data awareness in those doing measurements and/or are responsible for maintaining the calibration/measurement programs.Documentation requirements for calibrations and test results and investigating out of tolerance findings to prevent recurrence.Who Will Benefit:This discussion will provide individuals with a better understanding of data integrity and measurement variation sources and should be of interest to:Technical SupervisorsManagersAll professionals responsible for data accuracy in any organization.
