24、 devel-opment, operation, quality, and just about every other aspect of the busi-ness. As such, there is a degree of specialty in most every field of endeavorin this industry. This book was developed to try to accelerate the learningprocess for the application of automation in bio-pharmaceuticals. T

25、heauthors hope is that the content of this book will help scientists and engi-neers continue to contribute to the manufacture of high-quality medicinesvia improving process control and on-line availability of informationwhile reducing costs, cycle time, and process variability. Some readers may come

26、 into this industry with previous automationexperience. Others may be in the bio-pharmaceutical industry, but havelimited automation knowledge. In either case, the authors strived to bringthe reader to a more thorough understanding of the topics. This book is supplemented by a wealth of reference ma

27、terials in the indus-try. Each chapter contains a list of recommended reference materials.Buckbee.book Page xi Thursday, January 3, 2008 11:17 AMxiiACKNOWLEDGMENTSThe authors would like to acknowledge the individuals and organizationswho helped to make this book possible. Susan Colwell and the staff

28、 at ISAprovided excellent, concise, and professional guidance. Greg McMillanhelped conceive of the book, and provided detailed and thoughtfulreview. Gregs colleague at Emerson Process, Terry Blevins, also providedexcellent review of materials. John Gerry at ExperTune lent us his decadesof experience

29、 in control loop performance metrics. The authors alsothank Eli Lillys Dr. Jeff Baker for his input regarding process validation,Ben Paterson regarding content on downstream bioprocess unit opera-tions, and Dave Dzirbik for content regarding the automation of down-stream bioprocess unit operations.

30、We owe a debt of gratitude to thosewho have gone before us in developing the literature on topics related tobio-pharmaceuticals and automation. We also owe many thanks to thecontributions of our colleagues who, during our careers, provided techni-cal input, insights, support, and challenging questio

31、ns. The authors would like to recognize the special role of the Pharmaceuti-cal/Biotech industries for providing an environment where employees cancome to work and develop and manufacture medicines that make a differ-ence in the quality of life of their customers. Additionally, the authorswould like

32、 to thank the management of their employers (Expertune andLilly) for providing the opportunity and encouragement to evaluate newautomation technologies, develop applications, and share automationknowledge with others. Finally, we extend a very special thank you to our families and dedicatethis book

33、to them. What started as a small project grew quickly into a sec-ond job. Our families have done without us for hours on end as weworked to finalize the materials in this book. To Mary Ellen Buckbee, yourwisdom and understanding are boundless. Alyssa, Brendan, and CameronBuckbee, thanks for being so

34、 patient with this process. To Marti Alford,your support and encouragement throughout your husbands career hasbeen invaluable and greatly appreciated.

35、 aB.S. in Chemical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis,and an M.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of California atSanta Barbara. George has 17 years of direct industry experience, atProcter computer and network under-standing; and the abilities to read, write, and review

36、 engineering draw-ings. Internal competencies include understanding of the particularprocess being controlled, as well as training in company-specific or site-specific procedures. Both internal and external competencies must beaddressed and documented.Chapter 4, “People, Projects, and Profitability,

37、” addresses key issues in theselection and qualification of personnel for automation work.Vendor ManagementIt is very typical for an automation project to employ many different ven-dors to handle design, construction, commissioning, qualification, andmaintenance of the automation system.To ensure th

38、e quality of the automation system design, companies mustemploy qualified vendors. A proper vendor evaluation program, coupledwith direct oversight of all contracted deliverables and services, is vital toa high-quality outcome.The first step in ensuring a quality result with any vendor is to have ac

39、learly-defined scope. Scope definition is addressed in the “ManagingAutomation Projects” section in Chapter 4.Industry groups are a valuable resource for establishing docu-mentation of external competencies. For example, the ISA “Cer-tified Automation Professional” program and the “Certified Control

40、 System Technician” program provide a solid measure of assur-ance and documentation that personnel are qualified. ISPE also offers courses in the application of GAMP. 1.7, 1.8Buckbee.book Page 9 Thursday, January 3, 2008 10:49 AM10 Chapter 1Introduction1.3 How this Book Is OrganizedChapter 2Hardware

41、 and SoftwareChapter 2 focuses on design criteria for hardware and software in the bio-pharmaceutical industry. The focus is on the most commonly used sys-tems in bio-pharmaceuticals.The first part of the chapter focuses on hardware, including valves, instru-mentation, and transfer panels. We discus

42、s the key design and implemen-tation considerations for each of these devices.The second half of this chapter discusses software design considerations,including Good Automated Manufacturing Practices (GAMP), ModularDesign, Skid Integration, and System Security.Chapter 3ApplicationsChapter 3 provides

43、 a great deal of information on the design of automa-tion systems for the most common processes. For each process, wedescribe:Process Description and ChallengesInstrumentationControl StrategiesThe engineer must develop a solid understanding of the process beingcontrolled to effectively design the au

44、tomation system. The goal of thischapter is to provide a basis for understanding some of the most commonprocesses in bio-pharmaceuticals.Chapter 4People, Projects, and ProfitabilityChapter 4 provides guidance on some of the “soft” issues affecting auto-mation system implementation. It is crucial for

45、 the engineer to under-stand that an excellent design, if poorly implemented, will result infailure. To ensure success, we must consider the critical “soft” issues. Thechapter is divided into three sections: People, Projects, and Profitability.Buckbee.book Page 10 Thursday, January 3, 2008 10:49 AMH

The scope of validation includes not onlythe chemical processing unit operations themselves but also supportingaspects of manufacturing operations such as assay validation, cleaningvalidation, utility validation (e.g., use of purified water), and computervalidation. Chapter 5 summarizes validation requirements for computersystems.Buckbee.book Page 11 Thursday, January 3, 2008 10:49 AM12 Chapter 1IntroductionChapter 6Batch ControlMany bioprocesses are batch in nature, rather than continuous processes.Automation of batch systems brings some special challeng
