Computer System Validation (CSV) Workflow

Streamline your regulatory compliance with our optimized Computer System Validation (CSV) Workflow. Designed specifically for the pharmaceutical industry, this end-to-end process ensures seamless GxP compliance, rigorous data integrity, and audit-ready documentation throughout the entire system lifecycle-from User Requirements (URS) to final Summary Reports. Eliminate manual errors and accelerate technology deployment while meeting stringent FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 standards.

19. Update System Status to 'Validated'
End

Start of the Workflow/Process.

Retrieve all User Requirements (URS) entries from the Requirements Data Model to initiate the validation scope.

Assign a task to the QA Lead to draft the Validation Plan based on the identified system scope.

Create a new entry in the Validation Plan data model containing the scope, strategy, and testing approach.

Assign a task to the Subject Matter Expert (SME) to perform a GAMP5-based risk assessment.

Create an entry in the Risk Management data model to document identified hazards and mitigation strategies.

Execute formula (Severity * Occurrence * Detectability) to determine the critical level of each risk.

Update the Risk Assessment entry to reflect that mitigation controls have been implemented.

Assign testing tasks to Validation Engineers to execute Installation, Operational, and Performance Qualifications.

Create a record in the Test Script data model for each protocol being executed.

Update the Test Script entry with pass/fail results and evidence links after execution.

Aggregate the number of 'Fail' statuses from all Test Script entries to determine total deviations.

Create a task for the Quality Engineer if the Deviation Count is greater than zero.

Create an entry in the Deviation Data Model for every failed test case identified.

Update the Deviation entries to 'Closed' once corrective actions are verified.

Create a report linking Requirements $\rightarrow$ Risks $\rightarrow$ Test Scripts to ensure full coverage.

Assign a task to the Quality Manager to review the final Validation Summary Report (VSR).

Create the final record in the Validation Summary data model summarizing the entire process outcome.

Send an email to the Project Sponsor and IT Department once the VSR is approved and the system is released for production.

Update the Computer System entry in the Inventory Data Model to 'Validated' status.

End of the Workflow/Process.
