Re: Validating or system calibration

What to the letters GMP stand for?

It may be helpful for you to consider sub-topic:
In a later e-mail, if this is deemed on-topic for BPCS, I may share ANOTHER related sub-topic for consider.
* Dirty Data ... for any ERP to work well, you have to have certain very high percentages of accuracy with inventory, factory work reporting, engineering etc. To the extent that you tolerate errors in BOM, scrap reporting, inventory inaccuracies, lead time violations, etc. this is like sabotage for your ERP system. It can be important for a company to have a sense of how accurate your data is, then based on your findings prioritize what to fix.
So for example, we have conducted what we call ITEM AUDITS. A small number of items of different types, classes, complexities, are selected. The engineering is carefully examined. Is this 100% correct? If not, it is fixed, and the audit shows that it had to be fixed, and also what the implications were ... had this sabotaged our inventory accuracy? (BOM not right). Had it sabotaged our costs (routings not right)? We do cycle count ... is the on_hand bang on correct, or did we have to adjust the inventory?
For different kinds of things, different kinds of processes are needed to measure the accuracy. Now combine the results of this audit with ERP education on what levels of accuracy was needed for the ERP to work right in the first place, and you end up with a Grade ... I not remember what the scores represented exactly, but the goal is to be an A-Class enterprise, and most companies fall far short of this.

Dear BPCS professional



Recently, I am being asked by our plant manager regarding to their GMP
audit.  One of the finding is BPCS calibration or validation to ensure
that system is still running well.  Does SSA have this kind of service?
Is it true that GMP should be like that ?



Thanks
