For many manufacturing plants, the holidays produce the ideal time for plant shutdowns for extensive cleaning, maintenance, or servicing of machines and equipment. Following holiday manufacturing plant shutdowns, companies may need to perform quality control testing on the lines or environment.
Deep cleaning involving disassembled equipment generally occurs during a temporary shutdown, as well as replacing parts or systems, and even residue testing. Scheduled maintenance occurs during the shutdown and cleaning procedures required for a cGMP plant are completed.
Once these tasks and tests have been finished the facility can begin to start its systems again and assess performance ensuring machines and equipment have been reinstalled correctly and are operational and functional as they should be. In some cases, environmental monitoring is necessary at this point to ensure no hazardous chemicals are lingering or being released into the air.
Contract Laboratory has helped many companies find laboratories and services to perform their facility testing during a plant shutdown like the following:
