Operations
Validation
Take inventory – know what needs to be cleaned
Establish acceptance criteria – write a URS
Clean in a Reproducible and Effective manner
Find a path to every pipe, component and equipment
Calculate pressure drops
Remember NPSH requirements for pumps
Purified water and WFI consumption rates establish size(s) for CIP tank(s)
Valves vs.
flow panels / swing elbows
Equipment setup / COP
Acceptance criteria from URS
