There are other cases where the implementation
1) OBJECTIVE Process variation and cross contamination is the major problem in the manufacture of solid dosage forms like tablets, capsules etc. The objective of the study was to solve this problem. Complete elimination of these variations and cross contamination is highly impossible. But its occurrence can be reduced to a large extent by validation. To establish documented evidence and to prove the process has always remained in control. To check the efficiency of cleaning and to provide documented
