PDA has formed a new technical report team and a task force to advance projects to assist pharmaceutical manufacturers in key areas. Both projects were approved by the PDA Science Advisory Board and have spun out of PDA’s umbrella Manufacturing Science and Operations Program^SM.

“PDA is pleased to sponsor these important projects that will support pharmaceutical manufacturers throughout the industry,” said Richard Johnson, PDA President & CEO.

This team has been sanctioned to draft industry guidance on the governance and control of big data implementation in manufacturing enterprise to ensure maximization of data insights.

The task force will examine predictive maintenance of equipment using advanced statistical and mathematical methodology. This task force could produce a written case study in the form of a PDA technical report, journal article or other publication type.
