If the installation and implementation of a Continuous Monitoring and Management system is on your organizational radar, then it’s a good idea to have a clear view of the work to be completed. Although the project may initially appear to be straight-forward, it can rapidly become quite complex and require more time and resources than originally anticipated. Here are key steps to successfully implementing a Continuous Monitoring and Management System to help guide you through this project:
This team will follow the project through from kick-off to system go-live.
Each group and/or department involved with the project is likely to have its own set of compliance, quality, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and/or process and operating requirements that will need to be addressed.
You will want each department to assign a system owner. They are likely to be responsible for managing and maintaining their departments existing system. Their role will include, but not necessarily be limited to, providing resources and committing to the success of the project.
This list should include information like activities, steps in the process, locations (building and/or room number), appliance types involved (refrigerator, freezer, incubator, etc.), minimum and maximum limits of monitoring needed and timings.
