Setting of Alert and Action Limits for Microbial Monitoring

Alert and Action Limits are critical components of a microbial monitoring program, ensuring timely interventions to maintain control and prevent contamination. Here’s a step-by-step guide to calculate these limits: Alert Limit (AL): AL = μ ± (2-3σ) Action Limit (AcL): AcL = 0.8-0.9 × Maximum Acceptable Limit Example Calculation: Historical data (CFU/mL): | 10, 20,…
