This chapter is taken from the book Risk-Based Compliance Handbook

Readers may well be familiar with the concept of risk management but not necessarily so with the concept of Process Analytical Technology (PAT). As this book is addressing risk from a lifecycle perspective, which in turn requires a profound understanding of the processes, and more importantly the quality attributes of the product, it is obvious that PAT needs to be addressed in this context.
