Introduction
This document is the <Company, Site> Validation Master Plan (VMP), containing all key
validation activities for the implementation of the Oracle R12 Process Manufacturing
System (OPM).

1.1.

Purpose
The purpose of this document is to detail the scope of validation activities that are to be
undertaken on the OPM System. In particular the boundaries of the validation and the
work content of the various activities will be detailed.
This document has been written in accordance with Appendix M1 in ISPE GAMP5* [1].

1.2.

Objectives
The prime objective of this document is to provide an organised and logical approach,
which helps to demonstrate a fully working, validated and compliant system.
In addition, documentation produced as a result will assist internal <Site> Management
and Regulatory Inspectors with future audit processes in order to ensure that the system
complies with all the latest relevant regulatory practices for example FDA, EU and GMP
practices.

1.3.

Scope
The scope of this document is to identify deliverables and responsibilities required for the
Oracle R12 Process Manufacturing (OPM) system validation.

1.4.

System Description
Oracle E-Business Suite is a complete set of business applications enabling you to cut
costs; increase revenues across front and back-office functions; and access current,
accurate, and consistent data.
The applications in Oracle E-Business Suite are built on a unified information architecture
that consolidates data from Oracle and non-Oracle applications and allows a consistent
definition of customers, suppliers, partners, and employees across the entire enterprise.
The result is a suite of integrated business applications, covering Financials, Logistics,
Manufacturing, and ancillary departments that can give you current performance metrics,
financial ratios, profit and loss summaries, and other types of information that roll up
across all departments, products, and geographies.

OPM Overview
Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) automates the entire product lifecycle for recipebased manufacturing, from new product development, recipe management and
production, to cost, quality, and regulatory management.
It enables you to formulate products to individual customer specifications, manage
variability, optimize capacity, and drive continuous process improvement.

1.6.

Oracle Methodology
Oracles uses its own implementation methodology (AIM). The diagram below denotes the
format for the Alfa prefix for the document identification number & at what time the
relevant document is generally used during an implementation.

Vendor Status
Oracle is an industry renowned supplier of computerised systems software founded in
1977 and currently estimated to be employing over 118,000 personnel globally with its
main headquarters in Redwood Shores, California USA.
Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL) is recognised as the worlds largest enterprise
software company, providing enterprise software to more than 390,000 customers
including 100 of the Fortune 100and with deployments across a wide variety of
industries in more than 145 countries around the globe. With annual revenues of more
than $37 billion, the company offers its database, tools and application products, along
with related consulting, education, and support services.
Oracle Egypt has been involved with over 170 E-Business Suite system implementations,
which includes pharmaceutical companies in Egypt either directly or through one of its
officially approved and trained partners.
Oracle Egypt is a branch office of Oracle, which also operates one of the Oracle global
support centres.
Due to the strong global position of Oracle and its wide usage of its software in the global
market place, <Company> consider it a low risk in line with ISPE GAMP5 Appendix M2
and therefore unnecessary to conduct a formal audit on the company in either USA or
Egypt at this stage.

Testing Phase
Specifications will be produced and testing conducted against them accordingly, in
conjunction with previously approved documentation specified in the Design Phase in
section 3.1
In addition, consideration will be given to aligning or combining tests (for example
Functional Testing or User Acceptance Testing) to the project methodology as specified in
the V-model diagram in section 3.
Installation Qualification (IQ) is a combination of Hardware and System Configuration
testing. Operational Qualification (OQ) is a combination of System design and Functional
testing. Performance Qualification will represent the User Acceptance Testing.
