Baxter Overview (Program Covington) Announced plans in April 2012 to build a greenfield campus near Covington, Georgia Capital investments at site to exceed $1 billion over next 5 years Create more than 1,500 full-time positions in Georgia and more than 2,000 jobs in total across multiple US locations More than 1 million total gross square feet on 160-acre site

Support Growth of Plasma- Based Therapies Covington site will significantly increase Baxter network capacity for biotherapeutic therapies Products to be manufactured include: – Immunoglobulin (IG) therapy for patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PI) and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) – Albumin products, which are primarily used as plasma-volume replacement therapy in critical care, trauma, and burn patients

Quality System Processes – Key to Regulatory Compliance Early and continued investment in: Design Reviews Quality Risk Assessments Design Qualification [ISPE: Applied Risk Management for Commissioning and Qualification]
10
Quality System Processes 1 Design Review Planned and systematic reviews of specifications, designs and design development. Quality Risk Assessment Part I Systematic process for the assessment, control, communication and review of risk to the quality of the product and the safety of the patient. Design Qualification The documented verification that the proposed design of the facilities, systems and equipment is suitable for the intended purpose. QRA Part II Regulatory Compliance (1) Slide taken from ISPE Reg. Compliance Presentation (R. Chew, C. Susla) A robust Design Review is critical to proper system operation obtaining Regulatory Compliance within budget and schedule constraints
11
Design Review / Design Qualification Approach Design Verification = 2 steps = DR + DQ Requirements defined in approved procedure and templates Assessment that the design is suitable for the intended purpose For System’s Critical Aspects – DR/DQ provides traceability for each requirement to the engineering control strategy ASTM E 2500-07 Planned and systematic reviews of specifications, designs, and design development and continuous improvement changes performed as appropriate through the life-cycle of the manufacturing system

Automation Design Workflow Develop FRS Identify Design Gaps Preliminary Design Review Initiate Engineering Punchlist Release FRS to Integrator Informal Design Review with Integrator Integrator releases Design Team reviews Design Integrator addresses issues SAT with Process and Manufacturing Perform Design Qualification Proceed to Startup
15
Functional Requirements Compilation FRS Manufacturing Input URSSOO P&IDs CPPs Process Eng. Input
16
FRS Content Variables FRS Content = ƒ(a) + ƒ(b) + ƒ(c) + ƒ(d) + ƒ(e) a = Sequence of Operations b = P&ID (instrumentation feedback) c = Process Engineering Input (Process Knowledge) d = Manufacturing Input (Product Knowledge) e = Varying experience (leads into inconsistency across process areas)
17
Preliminary Design Review Assemble team of SMEs consisting of Process Engineers, Automation Engineers, and Manufacturing Systematically break down FRS with P&IDs to ensure content achieves desired functionality Establish Engineering Punchlist to document open issues that need to be addressed
18
Turnover to Integrator Approve FRS internally and turnover to Integrator SMEs (Process, Manufacturing, and Automation) to meet with Integrator to ensure requirements are understood Answer questions from integrator throughout software development period
19
Integrator Delivers Design…Now What? All SMEs from Design Review group review and provide comments Integrator addresses comments SAT is scheduled
20
Site Acceptance Testing Attended by same SMEs (Process, Manufacturing, and Automation) Also may include Validation representation, in the event documentation will be leveraged Opportunity for team to see graphics, equipment module functionality, and recipe progression in an offline environment
21
Design Qualification Pre-requisite: Punchlist items from SAT are resolved Documented verification that the proposed design of the facilities, systems and equipment is suitable for the intended purpose Proven through traceability of URS, FRS, and SDS Proceed to Start-up
22
Obstacles to Overcome Process Engineering and Manufacturing will be attending Equipment FATs during same time frame as Software Design Reviews, so limited time for thorough design reviews Design specs are typically code dumps that are difficult to navigate through to provide meaningful input Design is constantly changing, which adversely impacts software design Green-field projects are comprised of resources with various backgrounds and have multiple opinions about functionality of equipment Lack of Communication (As design changes, the team must be notified) Multiple issues lists for documenting engineering changes Pressure to streamline C&Q activities leads to starting too early with verification deliverables
23
Revised Automation Design Workflow Identify Similar Control Schemes Develop FRS Identify Design Gaps Preliminary Design Review Initiate Engineering Punchlist Release FRS to Integrator Informal Design Review with Integrator Integrator releases Design Convert Design to Reviewable Format Team reviews Design Integrator addresses issues SAT with Process and Manufacturing Perform Design Qualification Proceed to Startup
24
Identify Similar Control Schemes Review P&IDs and Sequence of Operation documentation to identify similar control schemes for Utilities and Process Typically applies to Temperature Control, Agitator Control, and Pressure Control Creates consistency and also eliminates redundant testing downstream Only test unique schemes once
25
Design Specification Example Requires navigation through multiple database (EMs), recipe, and unit class docs for thorough review Not a trivial task Review alone is an insufficient Design Review Convert to more usable format to ensure a robust review from Process and Manufacturing

27
Effect on Automation and Equipment CQV Activities If class-based functionality is not effectively used, more unique testing will be required for Automation and Equipment Inadequate Design Reviews will lead to issues discovered as part of CQV activities and will result in Over-budget and Delayed Schedule Waste commissioning that was intended to be leveraged towards qualification
28
V-Model (Real World) FRS SDD Code FAT/ SAT IV OV Lack of Process/Product Knowledge leads to re- programming and multiple iterations of qualification Design Qualification doesn’t catch inadequate Design Review Delays due to re- programming will adversely affect schedule and budget Introduces parallel activity of validation and change control
29
Ultimate Outcome FRS SDD Code FAT/ SAT IV OV
30
Better Outcome
31
Summary Variability identified as part of FRS Content Equation can be mitigated by robust design reviews with key personnel Risk-based testing methods will not be effective if the design reviews are not adequate Creates snowball effect that leads to a project that is over-budget and delayed
