2016 - Webinar on Method Validation ? Utilizing Quality by Design (QbD) and Risk in Implementation

Pharmaceutical industry is experiencing a growing need to improve performance driven by global competition and the increasing impact of information technology. FDA’s Process Validation Guidance calls for continued process verification which applies to both manufacturing and measurement processes. How to go about this improvement in a systematic, focused and sustainable manner is the question. Fortunately a world-class body of improvement technology exists known as Quality by Design (QbD); a science and data-based approach that builds quality into products and processes during development, validation and operations.
A characteristic of good science is good data. Quality data are arguably more important today than ever before. Using a series of case studies and examples it will be shown how QbD can be integrated into a holistic approach that can be used to effectively design and improve laboratory processes enabling prompt, successful method validation. Methods discussed in this session include assessment of method design, repeatability and reproducibility, improving method robustness and measurement process control.
Methods for assessing that amount of product variation that can be attributed to the manufacturing process, sampling procedures and test method are also presented. The concepts and methods involved will be introduced and illustrated with pharmaceutical and biotech case studies and examples.
Areas Covered in the Session :
Participants in the webinar will learn how to improve test method performance by:
Rapid design and development of test methods using statistical design of experiments
Improving measurement quality using Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility studies
Developing measurement systems that are robust to variations in method use
Controlling measurement variation by using control samples and statistical process control techniques
Identifying how much of the total variation is due to the manufacturing process, the sampling procedure and the test method
