That planned process provides the spatial reference and is not thereby asserted to be the entity being monitored. 2) At-line monitoring differs from on-line monitoring because on-line material sampling and measurement occur through analytical equipment connected by a material-transfer arrangement to process equipment, whereas an at-line material sample is brought to separate analytical equipment. 3) FDA PAT describes at-line measurement as analysis in close proximity to the process stream. In this ontology, the physical area that environs the planned process provides the governed operational boundary for that proximity.

It also specifies the glycosylation profile and aggregate levels as critical quality attributes and prescribes their periodic monitoring throughout the culture using off-line analysis. https://database.ich.org/sites/default/files/Q10%20Guideline.pdf and ISA88 Per ICH: A planned set of controls, derived from current product and process understanding, that assures process performance and product quality. Control strategy can include parameters and attributes related to drug substance and drug product materials and components, facility and equipment operating conditions, in-process controls, finished product specifications, and the associated methods and frequency of monitoring and control. Per ICH: Quality risk management is used to establish the control strategy. This can include parameters and attributes related to drug substance and drug product materials and components, facility and equipment operating conditions, in process controls, finished product specifications, and the associated methods and frequency of monitoring and control. The control strategy should facilitate timely feedback / feedforward and appropriate corrective action and preventive action.

The distinction concerns the measurement arrangement and absence of a preceding material sampling process.

It targets weight (540–560 mg), hardness (8–12 kp), thickness (4.8–5.2 mm), and disintegration time (<15 minutes). The responsible agents are the production operator and QC technician; An environmental monitoring plan for the production area prescribes continuous monitoring of temperature (18–25 °C) and humidity (45–65%) using data loggers. The responsible agent is the facilities technician; A bioreactor monitoring plan prescribes continuous monitoring of pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and agitation speed during a cell culture process.

MonitoringPlan(x) → PlanSpecification(x) ∧ ∃y(MonitoringProcess(y) ∧ prescribes(x, y)) true plan specification that prescribes some monitoring process There are insufficient constructs in this release to fully capture the structure of a monitoring plan. if x is a 'monitoring plan', then x is a 'plan specification' that 'prescribes' some 'monitoring process' monitoring process https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/biopharma/BiopharmaMonitoringAndControl/ process monitoring UV absorbance and conductivity monitoring during column loading; continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity in a clean room; tablet weight monitoring every 30 minutes during compression using an automated tablet-testing system; During a fed-batch cell culture process, at-line nutrient monitoring is performed using a Nova BioProfile® FLEX analyzer to measure glucose, lactate, glutamine, and ammonia levels; Flow rate is continuously monitored during tangential flow filtration to ensure consistent membrane performance https://www.biopharminternational.com/view/monitoring-biopharmaceutical-processes-present-and-future-approaches 1) Each monitoring process is an execution of a monitoring plan that prescribes it 2) If a monitoring process monitors an attribute, parameter, or indicator across multiple process parts, it should be modeled as part of the larger planned process that has those process parts as occurrent parts. This does not imply that the monitoring process is an occurrent part of each monitored process part individually. For example, a decontamination process may include mixing, heating, and adsorption as process parts. If one temperature monitoring process monitors temperature across the decontamination process, then the monitoring process is an occurrent part of the decontamination process. It is not automatically an occurrent part of each of the mixing, heating, and adsorption processes. If temperature is monitored only during heating, then the monitoring process may be modeled as an occurrent part of the heating process.

That planned process provides the spatial reference and is not thereby asserted to be the entity being monitored. 2) Off-line monitoring differs from at-line monitoring because at-line measurement is performed in a physical area that environs the planned process during which sampling occurs, whereas off-line measurement is performed outside such an area. 3) The complete off-line monitoring process may extend beyond the temporal boundaries of the planned process during which sampling occurs.
