Statistical Methods & Tools for Medical Device and Pharmaceutical Firms
This 3-day, computer-based workshop provides product and process experts in FDA-regulated firms a solid understanding of how to use statistical tools and methods for their needs. It focuses on specific methods and tools that assist with the challenges of Design Control, Process Analytical Technology (PAT), Process Validation, and other mandated activities. The content is based on the requirements of the FDA’s Quality System Regulation and the recommendations of the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF). Industry-specific examples are provided throughout the workshop. The statistical material is covered in a practical manner. It is not over-burdened with statistical complexity.
