7.3.1 Design and development planning:
Design and Development planning is done by the Developmental Project Lead. Detailed planning for complex processes may require inputs from other areas such as consultant, subject expert, regulatory affairs, engineering etc. Project Lead is also responsible for establishing stage wise tentative timeline for the project.

The process of design and development include:
– Defining an objective
– Determination of critical quality attributes (CQA)
– Risk assessment
– Development of experimental design (Design of Experiment)
– Designing and implementing control strategy
– Continuous improvement

Review, verification and validation (wherever applicable) is performed for each design and development stage. This ensures the availability of the resources, capabilities, suggested timeframe for execution of each stage with deliverables and further improves the plan during the course. This is a continuous process and can be performed under project monitoring plan.

The Project Lead ensures that the project plan is executed only after responsibilities and authorities for each stage are assigned and understood.

Modes for communication for proper flow of information between different groups are defined in communication plan.

The project plan evolves during entire developmental process and it is the responsibility of the project lead to update and communicate any modifications and changes in the plan.

7.3.2 Design and development inputs

Inputs relating to product requirements are determined and records of such requirements are either attached to or referred in the project development plan.

The inputs for product requirements considered (but not limited to) are:
functional and performance requirements,
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements,
where applicable, information derived from previous similar designs, and
other requirements essential for design and development.

These inputs are reviewed for adequacy.

The project lead ensures that the requirements of the product defined above are complete, unambiguous and not in conflict with each other.

7.3.3 Design and development outputs:

The outputs of design and development shall

a) meet the input requirements for design and development,
b) provide appropriate information for purchasing, production and service provision,
c) contain or reference product acceptance criteria, and
d) specify the characteristics of the product that are essential for its safe and proper use.

The above outputs of design and development plan are suitability for verification against the design and development input and are approved prior to release.

7.3.4 Design and development review:

Design and development plan and project progress are reviewed as per design and development review/verification plan. The review is targeted to

a) to evaluate the ability of the results of design and development to meet requirements, and
b) to identify any problems and propose necessary actions.

The review is performed by review committee which comprises of different disciplines/ functions concerned with design and development stage being reviewed. The meeting is coordinated by design and development lead. The committee also includes member form safety department (biological/ chemical/ occupational) if deemed necessary by the developmental stage under review.

The records of the review and necessary actions are maintained. Any modification, change/update are conveyed to all the interested parties.

7.3.5 Design and development verification:

The design and development output is verified against design and development input to verify that the requirements of input are met in the output. This verification is performed as per design and development review and verification plan. The records of these verifications are maintained.

7.3.6 Design and development validation:

The resulting product form design and development stage is validated to ensure that the resulting product is capable of meeting the requirements for the specified application or intended use. The validation proves that the product developed form design and development meet the specifications. The results of design and development validation and necessary actions are maintained.

7.3.7 Design and development changes:

Design and development changes as proposed during design and development review, verification, validation, gained knowledge (better understanding) of process and product are updated regularly. These changes are regularly reviewed as per design and development review and verification plan. The review of design and development changes includes evaluation of the effect of the changes on constituent parts and product already delivered. The product from the modified/changed process is validated. Records of the results of the review of changes and any necessary actions are maintained.
