Definition
planned process that is a part of another planned process and that consists of one or more observation or measurement processes in which a particular attribute (specifically dependent continuant or temporal region or process characteristic or process profile) of some entity of interest is measured or observed
Semi-Formal Definition:
every instance of ‘monitoring process’ is defined as exactly an instance of ‘planned process’ that ‘has occurrent part’ some ‘measurement process’, is ‘occurrent part of’ some ‘planned process’, and is ‘prescribed by’ some ‘monitoring plan’
Explanatory Notes
1) Each monitoring process is an execution of a monitoring plan that prescribes it 2) If a monitoring process monitors an attribute, parameter, or indicator across multiple process parts, it should be modeled as part of the larger planned process that has those process parts as occurrent parts. This does not imply that the monitoring process is an occurrent part of each monitored process part individually. For example, a decontamination process may include mixing, heating, and adsorption as process parts. If one temperature monitoring process monitors temperature across the decontamination process, then the monitoring process is an occurrent part of the decontamination process. It is not automatically an occurrent part of each of the mixing, heating, and adsorption processes. If temperature is monitored only during heating, then the monitoring process may be modeled as an occurrent part of the heating process.
Examples
- UV absorbance and conductivity monitoring during column loading; continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity in a clean room; tablet weight monitoring every 30 minutes during compression using an automated tablet-testing system; During a fed-batch cell culture process, at-line nutrient monitoring is performed using a Nova BioProfile® FLEX analyzer to measure glucose, lactate, glutamine, and ammonia levels; Flow rate is continuously monitored during tangential flow filtration to ensure consistent membrane performance
