Continuous Process Verification (CPV)
What is Continued Process Verification?
Proactive approach. Identify issue before it becomes serious Quality problem.
Use existing data to predict product performance and draw conclusions.
Apply standard methodology, based on science and statistics.
Perform Holistic evaluation.
Contribute to Process sustainability.
Culture of Continuous Improvement.
Utilization of Annual Product Review data

Summary
• Use Process Capability evaluation as an assessment tool • CQA’s affected by lower CpK’s lead to CPP’s or CMA’s to
be investigated • Process capability can assure CAPA effectiveness after
remediation • Link process to Annual Product Review to utilize data
available and establish a Proactive Product Control System to prevent product failure
• Continuous Improvement of processes to enhance Quality, Business and most importantly patient service
