Abstract

A method and computer program product for simulating, modeling and scheduling equipment maintenance and calibration procedures in a biopharmaceutical production facility is described herein. The method and computer program product includes the steps of identifying maintenance, and maintenance and calibration data associated with biopharmaceutical production process equipment. After the maintenance and calibration data are identified, biopharmaceutical production process equipment is used to generate a table of equipment and maintenance and calibration data. After the table of equipment and data is generated, the table is compared with a procedure time line to determine the schedule of calibration and maintenance for the equipment in the biopharmaceutical production process.
