This intermediate online course introduces the principles that shape cleaning process design and development in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It explains how core design elements such as cleaning location, automation level, equipment configuration, materials of construction, surface finish, and cleaning agent selection, establish the conditions in which a cleaning process must operate. You will see how these choices influence control, consistency, and reproducibility, and how physical, chemical, and operational factors affect cleanability and contribute to common validation challenges.
The course also highlights how design decisions affect contamination risk, sampling needs, and the type of evidence required to demonstrate compliance. Through clear examples and structured explanations, the course builds a practical understanding of how process design and validation are connected within GMP environments.
Who is this course for?
This online course is intended for individuals in cleaning validation teams, quality assurance, manufacturing, engineering as well as anyone who would like a clearer understanding of how design decisions influence validation activities.
