Summary on Grant Application Form
The research will model the four relevant business activities of product lifecycle, manufacturing process lifecycle, plant lifecycle and validation activity lifecycle and the information flows within these activities.Information models and document models will be produced, integrated and implemented using the PrismTech product OpenBase.The scope of t::e trials will be defined, test data obtained, OpenBase populated, necessary software functionality provided, trials performed, and benefits measured and analysed.The requirements for a validated data repository product will be defined, the current position on OpenBase will be determined, a Gap analysis performed and action plan proposed.
