New Way of Exploring Economic Environment

Lineament analysis in geological exploration

The existence of efficient and cost-effective methods that help to identify prospective targets that are related to or are influenced by tectonic structures is not common knowledge among professionals in the field of geological exploration.

The right sampling and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures are essential in all aspects of the mineral deposit evaluation process to achieve the best possible confidence in resultant mineral resource and reserve estimates.

Getting Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures and protocols right is crucial

Accurate and proper QA and QC procedures and protocols are essential to ensure that data collected and created by the mining organization is of a high level of quality and is in compliance with CIM Standards and Guidelines. Geological quality control procedures are meant to monitor precision and accuracy of the assay data, as well as possible sample contamination during sample preparation and assaying. The quality of the data used determines the quality of an estimate.

To offer a complete understanding of this concept, GlobalCompliancePanel, a reputable provider of professional trainings for all areas of regulatory compliance, will be organizing a two-day, live seminar. Please visit http://www.globalcompliancepanel.com/control/globalseminars/~product_id=900719SEMINAR?new-economic-environment-Boston-MA.

The Director of this seminar, Ricardo Valls, will introduce to the participants a methodology that will help them to concentrate their exploration efforts even over new areas with limited or nonexistent geological information, while keeping their budget in check.

The centrality of QA&QC procedures

Ricardo will explain how lineament and satellite interpretation are a way to define where to concentrate exploration efforts, as well as how to implement QA&QC procedures to guarantee the quality of the collected data. This is necessary, considering that compliance with the industry-established QA/QC is no longer an option, but a necessity for all the companies to implement, especially those that trade in the markets. Quality assurance is essentially the management system that operates to ensure credible results. The prime objective of the field QA program is to maximize accuracy by reducing introduced variability.

The learning will be gleaned from a quality assurance program that the Director has implemented for the field sampling procedures. This includes collection, labeling, and shipping components. The quality control component of this system is a set of activities intended to control the quality of the data from collection through to analysis. It consists of day-to-day activities such as:

o   The adherence to written protocols; up-to-date and suitable training of personnel

o   The use of reliable laboratories with excellent QA&QC systems in place

o   The regular use of quality control (QC) samples (blanks, standard samples, and field duplicates)

o   Diligent record keeping.

Ricardo will cover the following areas at this seminar:

o   History of the problem, why we need to change the current approach

o   Lineament analysis

o   Lineament analysis and satellite interpretation of data

o   Physical modeling (3D strain analysis and 3D stress analysis)

o   Statistical procedures (Compositional data analysis, correlation analysis, principal component and other methods)

o   Defining a QA/QC program, Blanks, duplicates, standards, external controls

o   Procedures and audits

o   Rock naming in the field

o   Conclusions and recommendations.

FDA Concepts for Medical Device Companies

Putting a well-rounded and comprehensive Quality Management System

An efficient and effective Quality Management System (QMS) is a critical factor for the success of medical device companies. Having an effective QMS in place is absolutely necessary for medical device companies that have to satisfy the needs of all of their stakeholders. Further, an effective QMS is a means to ensuring that a medical device company’s products are safe and effective for its customers.

A medical device company has to show compliance with the necessary regulations. It should also enable the company to successfully demonstrate that compliance to the regulators. At the same time, this QMS system also needs to be efficient to allow medical device companies to meet the needs of their business stakeholders and shareholders.

Get the QMS right to show compliance

It is necessary for medical device companies to know how to put in place a QMS that meets all these varied and complex requirements. When medical device companies get trained on how to get their QMS right from all these perspectives, there is very little chance of going wrong.

To enable medical device companies get all the aspects of their QMS right; GlobalCompliancePanel, a highly renowned provider of professional trainings for the areas of regulatory compliance will be organizing a two-day seminar. To enroll for this highly interesting and useful learning session, just log on to

http://www.globalcompliancepanel.com/control/globalseminars/~product_id=900651SEMINAR?FDA-concepts-medical-device-companies-San-Diego-CA.

Suzanne Manz, an accomplished leader in the medical device industry, who emphasizes quality, compliance, and Six Sigma and brings extensive background in quality and compliance for medical devices from new product development, to operations, to post-market activities, will be the Director of this seminar.

Concepts and characteristics of a good QMS.

Susanne will introduce participants to the Quality System Regulations and how they can be translated into a QMS that is both agile and rigorous when it comes to ensuring safe and effective products. She will give an understanding of the essential capabilities for managing an exceptional Quality System. 

Throughout the seminar, emphasis will be made on the regulatory expectations and how participants can translate these into their QMS.

The ways of structuring and optimizing their QMS will be among the core learning areas from this seminar. The starting point of all these is Management Responsibility and a commitment to quality. In discussing the concepts of management responsibility, a culture of quality, and continuous improvement; Susanne will make this learning comprehensive and well-rounded.

Applied Statistics for product and process evaluation in design and manufacturing

Evaluating product and processes is an imperative for almost all design and/or manufacturing companies. These are the reasons for which this evaluation needs to be made:

o   Managing risks

o   Validation of processes

o   Establishing product/process specifications to QC to such specifications

o   Monitoring compliance to such specifications

Lack of proper and thorough grasp of and correct implementation of statistical methods leads a company to having to face significant increases in its complaint rates, scrap rates, and time-to-market. As a result, such companies churn out poor quality in their products, leading to lowered customer satisfaction levels, severely impacting their bottom line.
