  33. AutoSave for Highly Regulated Industries continued in more detail…

  34. Starting the Change Process • Create a new version within the appropriate AutoSave Program

  35. Starting the Change Process • Engineering / Maintenance personnel can now develop the appropriate set of changes • Changes are made offline • Any number of edit sessions can be performed

  36. Making the change offline Edit changes like normal. An update to the version occurs after a comment is entered You cannot cancel a change

  37. Starting the Approval Process • When the changes requested have been developed, the user making the changes initiates the approval process • Email sent to applicable users who can then approve the change Management Email Notification Quality

  38. Who Approves changes • Users who approve changes are set up once administratively. One user representing each group must approve the change before implementation can occur

  39. Approving Changes • An approver logs in and selects role to approve the change • A comment and control number will be entered • AutoSave automatically records all events and converts the status to APV (Approved Pending Validation) when one user in each group in the approval list approves the change

  40. Completing the Approval • When last approval is entered • Version automatically converted to APV (Approved Pending Validation) • Allows for time lag to occur from approval to the start of plant floor testing

  41. Testing Changes Prior to Rollout • Testing is required to ensure that the approved changes actually produce the desired product on the plant floor. • Product produced at this time is typically quarantined until such time that the changes made have become validated. • Time lag from APV to Testing is very realistic due to the need to coordinate the actual testing on the plant floor • When the status is switched, downloading of this ‘approved but not validated’ change is enabled. • The conclusion of the testing should be a switch either back to the edit state (due to a reject) or a transition to a validated state

  42. The Validated Change • Software has passed all testing and is ready for deployment • Often a time lag will occur from when the change is validated to the time it is ready to be implemented • An appropriate user can transition the change from validated to implemented only at this point.

  43. Implementing an Approved Change • Executed as a command “Implement Change” • Changes the selected version from Validated to Implemented • Enables this version for download by those with download privilege • Changes the previously implemented version to PA (Previously Approved) • Logs all relevant events in this process

  44. Downloading an Implemented Change • The change can now be downloaded into the device • If the device must ever be reset, then this implemented version is the only one that can be used

  45. Rejecting Changes During the Process • Any user in the approval cycle can reject the change anywhere during the approval process • The change is sent back to an “Edit” state allowing the engineer to make the necessary changes. • Comments are added by the person rejecting the change.

  46. Acquiring Real Time Updates • At any point in the cycle, a user can double-click on the version and see the current state of the approval process.
