6. PROCEDURE
6.1 Development and Control of Equipment Master List
The objective of this step is to generate a list of plant and equipment at site with unique
identification and categorizations.
6.1.1 Master list of equipment will comprise of all equipment at plant with unique
identification will be given by using SAP system (Appendix-1).
6.1.2 Manager Engineering will be the owner of the Equipment Master Lists.
6.1.3 The Equipment master list will be a live document & can be updated when new
equipment received.
6.2 For New Equipment
6.2.1 A criticality study shall be performed on all new equipment (Mechanical,
Electrical and Instrumentation) to determine criticality of the new equipment
(i.e. impact on product quality, production capability, safety, etc.)
6.2.2 A formal and structured Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) study shall
be performed on all critical equipment.
6.2.3 Based on the results of criticality and FMEA studies appropriate preventive
maintenance program shall be developed for the installed and commissioned
equipment (the use of appropriate maintenance strategies and predictive
maintenance systems/tools should be incorporated).
6.2.4 The Engineering Manager shall prepare the preventive maintenance tasks and
schedule and update the Preventive Maintenance requirements into the

6.3.2 The Engineering Manager shall review the preventive maintenance program
based on the evaluation of equipment condition and history, recommendations to
reliability improvement (or continuous improvement), root cause failure
analyses, failure modes and effects analyses, contamination elimination studies,
etc. and adoption of maintenance best practices.
6.4 Record of Maintenance
6.4.1 At the end of the month the respective officer /In-charge will updated the
preventive maintenance schedule.
6.4.2 Daily routine checking will be done and to be recorded in daily log book.
6.4.3 Job operative cards (see relevant SOP for equipment) will be filled for monthly,
quarterly, biannually, & annual maintenance.
6.4.4 Maintenance of machine also to be recorded on history cards (Appendix-5) as
well as job description (Appendix-6) (preventive/break down maintenance or
part change).
6.5 Changing of Preventive Maintenance Tasks/Schedule
Changes to Preventive Maintenance tasks or schedule must be managed as
planned change through change control procedure (QA-019).
6.6 Redundant Equipment
6.6.1 Any equipment that is out of service or no longer in use, for some reasons will
be deactivated from Preventive Maintenance schedule and managed as a planned
change. This will be done through change control (QA-019).
6.6.2 All spares associated to the deactivated equipment shall be reviewed for removal
from the inventory (unless associated spares are common to other active
equipment).
6.6.3 All equipment information and maintenance records (e.g. failure reports,
inspection, service or calibration records) shall be maintained according to the
document retention schedule Ref. SOP No. QA-050
6.7 Criticality Assessment (Direct/Indirect/No Impact)
6.7.1 Direct Impact:

Prepared By: Checked By: Page 4 of 10


Date Date
CSH Pharmaceuticals (Pvt.) Ltd. Lahore
SOP NO. ENG/GEN-001/01
Classification as direct impact should consider if the machine or system is
involved in manufacturing or packaging of products. These equipment/systems
have components that come into product contact. These also include the clean-
in-place systems for the GMP operations. These are subject to stringent
qualification testing and subsequent change control operations are carried out to
ensure that these systems are always operated in a compliant state. Examples of
such systems are suspension, compression and capsule filling etc.
6.7.2 Indirect Impact:
Indirect impact equipment, machine/systems do not have a direct impact on
product quality, but typically will support a ‘direct impact’ system. These
systems can heavily influence the operation of a direct impact system and hence
compliance during maintenance is also important for example; HVAC system,
Hot Water System, Compressed Air System etc.

6.7.3 No Impact:
Equipment, machine or systems which neither has direct impact or indirect
impact on product quality, e.g. Lifts, ladders and trolley etc.
6.8 Preventive Maintenance Plan Review
Engineering management must reviews the Preventive Maintenance plan periodically to
confirm that contents are still effecting the frequency must be based on an assessment of
the risk to product quality and must not be greater than 3 years. Such reviews must be
documented.
Note:-
All planned activities must be conducted within 30 days of scheduled date month. If
delayed Engineering Manager will discuss the matter in monthly quality forum meeting.
6.9 If we change the part of machine / equipment or install a new one change control
document will be raised as described below:
