·         Populate a Batch database using the BCU

·         Create a Golden Batch Profile and apply it to the current process

·         View Batch SPC plots

·         Configure automated reports

Course Benefits

·         Implement a Batch system quickly and efficiently using the available tools

·         Extend the analysis of process data for batch reporting beyond those offered by the Batch Conversion Utility, providing a perfect fit for your business

Who Should Attend

·         System Integrators and Administrators

·         Staff responsible for maintaining or developing a specialized batch reporting system

Approach

·         An overview of the product and its application is presented, together with the terminology and underlying concepts

·         The terminology used in the course is consistent with S88 wherever possible

·         The course is packed with hands-on exercises to provide practical experience of the concepts covered

·         The features and architecture of Aspen Production Record Manager implemented in a 21CFR11 compliant configuration are outlined (specific configuration techniques for setting up this mode are outside the scope of this course)

·         Explore the role and functionality of the Batch Conversion Utility (BCU), which creates a Batch Analysis Model used to analyze process data in order to generate batch-oriented information

·         Optimize batch quality using the Batch Profiler to generate a “golden” profile and apply it to the current process

Prerequisites

·         Microsoft Windows basic user skills

·         PME171: Retrieving Batch Data Using The Reporting Tools

·         Some experience of creating tags in an Aspen InfoPlus.21 system is recommended but not required (PME101 Aspen InfoPlus.21 Real Time Information Management Foundation Course teaches this topic)
