Getting Design of Experiments and Statistical Process Control right for Process Development and Validation

Procedures must be used in the application of DOE and SPC to the development, design and monitoring of manufacturing and testing processes. Why this needs to be done is because the FDA has, in a recent guidance document on Process Validation, assigned the responsibility for reviewing and interpreting DOE and SPC studies to the Quality Unit.

Going about doing this work requires a practical orientation. It calls for an approach with case studies and examples. A seminar that is being organized by GlobalCompliancePanel, a leading provider of professional trainings for the regulatory compliance areas, will provide just this and fulfill this requirement.

Dr. Steven Kuwahara, Founder and Principal, GXP BioTechnology LLC, will be the Director at this two-day session. To enroll for this valuable session, please register by logging on to http://www.globalcompliancepanel.com/control/globalseminars/~product_id=900701SEMINAR. This seminar has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion.  

An interactive session

Dr. Kuwahara will offer theoretical information introduced only when necessary to understand an experiment. A highly interactive and practical session; this seminar offers examples from real processes and testing procedures and present the participants with examples that will be directly applicable to their work.

For any pharmaceutical worker who performs, supervises or reviews manufacturing or testing processes, an understanding of the relationships among the process parameters and the ability to monitor the performance of processes and test methods are necessary. This is all the truer of the worker in Quality Control and Quality Assurance in view of the recent FDA guidance document on Process Validation.

This work, however, is done by the development, manufacturing, or quality systems worker. So, synchrony between these two levels of employees is needed. This course will equip these two levels of employees with the knowledge of how to design the systems and studies, and interpret the results generated.
