Learn to deliver excellence and avoid the modes of failure; these are the keys to success.
Validation is a significant aspect of any project. When not performed correctly it allows products and production to build upon faults, worse if not detected, it allows the release of flawed product. The cost of poor quality can be measured in lost time, business and lives.
Validation requires a detailed knowledge of the system under test and the engineering skills to create efficient validation plans. Too many validation plans are bulky, inefficient and fail to test key requirements. Validation must be documented, and repeatable. Without documentation there is no proof of validation. Validation is part and parcel in the product traceability matrix and the total quality approach.
In these days of questionable corporate governance an investment into highest caliber validation can not be underestimated. When you select a resource to lead your validation efforts, take the time to select a provider with the superior experience, skill, and ethics. Putnam Techncial Group is unsurpassed in all these areas.
