Welcome from Chester Zelaya, Baxter Plant Manager
6:15 - 6:50 pm Journey towards a fully mature risk-based approach for commissioning and
qualification of equipment and facilities
Speaker: Phil Bowles, Director Engineering, Amgen Inc
Implementing a risk-based approach to commissioning and qualification based on ASTM E2500
offers significant advantages to manufacturing companies which are demonstrated through a
case study for recent large biopharmaceutical capital projects. Delivering these benefits also
requires a range of technical, quality and organizational challenges to be overcome, particularly in
how to apply the guiding principles from the E2500 standard guide. Some of these challenges are
addressed along with discussion of “where next” on our journey towards a fully mature risk-based
approach for commissioning and qualification of equipment and facilities.
6:50 - 7:25 pm Verification, SME Leveraging & Life Cycle Data Harvest:
The Project Information Supply Chain’s key role in the path to ASTM E2500 implementation
Speaker: Rick Kramer, President, CPFS
Life Science manufacturing companies are advancing their ability to fully realize the benefits of
ASTM E2500. To do so, requires the next evolution of cultural acceptance, as well as innovative
tools and methodology. Qualifying the OEM vendor supply base to participate as
SME’s enhances overall GEP and realizes cost benefits and project execution efficiency. A front
loaded approach to aligning the Risk Based C&Q strategy with the Project Information Supply
Chain allows the intelligent harvest & dissemination of critical Qualification Information, and key
Life Cycle Data in support of owner Compliance and OpEx.
7:25 - 8:00 pm Steps Along the Way: Best Practices and Pitfalls to Avoid in E2500 Implementation
Speaker: Robert Chew, President, Commissioning Agents Inc.
The pharmaceutical industry is still sorting out best practices for implementing an ASTM E2500based approach to commissioning and qualification. Through our work with numerous customers,
we have seen some approaches that have worked well, and other approaches that resulted in a
variety of unforeseen obstacles to overcome; we will discuss examples of both. In addition, some
of the special challenges of implementing a risk-based approach for companies that already have
a mature traditional commissioning and qualification program in place will be covered. Finally, we
will discuss some of the tools that have proven to be useful on a variety of projects.
8:00 - 8:30 pm Q&A - All speakers and Ronald Brunelle, Amgen Corporate Quality
