5. Due Diligence with Requirements
◦ System purpose
◦ System life cycle
◦ System fault criteria
◦ System interface criteria
◦ Hardware criteria
◦ Deliverables
◦ Time frame
◦ Training
6. Everyone should learn from the chemical and
pharmaceutical industry
◦ Don’t accept equipment that does not meet
prescribed requirements
◦ Make sure your requirements are in place before
allowing design functions to start
◦ Decrease maintenance and poor start ups
◦ Make fault predictions early on
