PLA 3.0 supports your method life cycle from early stages to
production.
Functional administrators use documents to develop analytical methods in a test
environment, and create templates for finalized methods. Quality assurance inspectors
apply electronic signatures to templates to approve the developed methods and confirm
that they are suitable for the intended use.
In the production system, users create documents based on the provided templates, thus
implementing the related method. To distribute results, they create reports.
The following figure shows a possible implementation of such a
life cycle:Figure 1. Method life cycle support
For details on documents and templates, see the Documents and Templates topics.
