Process ‘signature’
- Stages of the product manufacturing process can be characterized and then described based on the use of a variety of diverse measurement techniques
- This multi-dimensional profile can then be used to produce a process ‘signature’ which, in turn, offers a means of ensuring process reproducibility and robustness
- The process ‘signature’ may also be viewed as an end-point to work towards during scale-up or after equipment changes or site changes, for example
