Low efficiency..

Low Process Capability (Source: Doug Dean.PricewaterhouseCoopers. FDA Science Board Meeting November 16, 2001)

Protracted Production Cycle Times: Example (Source: G. K. Raju, M.I.T. FDA Science Board Meeting, November 16, 2001)

Protracted Production Cycle Times: Example (Source: G. K. Raju, M.I.T. FDA Science Board Meeting, November 16, 2001)

OOS or Exceptions Further Increase Cycle Times (Source: G. K. Raju, M.I.T. FDA Science Board Meeting, November 16, 2001)

Resolution of process problems slow/difficult: Tendency to “live” with the approved “validated” process (Source: G. K. Raju, M.I.T. FDA Science Board Meeting, November 16, 2001)
