DoE Basics for Validation by Design

Sep 28 - Sep 29, 2017
Berlin, Germany

  • Education
  • Europe

Overview

If done right, DoE should cost as much or less than the traditional approach to pharmaceutical development. This two-day course is a practical introduction to experimental design basics with applications to research, process & assay development, and validation. A non-theoretical approach presents the concepts using arithmetic and simple graphics to understand and communicate your understanding of multifactor interactions.

Who should attend?

Research & Process Development
Manufacturing & Technical Operations
Analytical Development
Regulatory Affairs
Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Specific Job Functions:
  • Manager / Leader / Supervisor
  • Researcher / Technician
  • Strategists & Auditors

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this course, participants will have the ability to:
  • Select appropriate, cost effective designs.
  • Efficiently identify and communicate cause and effect relationships.
  • Demonstrate the five step method to design studies.
  • Calculate main effects and multifactor interaction effects.
  • Plot graphs for main effects and interaction effects.
  • Test normallity at a glance, interpret, and communicate the results.
  • Explain the pitfalls and opportunities of confounding effects.
