This webinar will discuss setting up statistically justified sampling plans for process validation. The discussion will also involve using the sampling plan to set acceptance criteria for process validation. Setting acceptance criteria for test method validation will also be presented.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
All companies in the pharmaceutical and medical device space are required to implement formal and statistically justified sampling plans and acceptance criteria for validation. Many companies do not have dedicated statistics departments, so it is up to the validation or quality engineer to develop sampling plans. This training will be a simple step-by-step method of developing statistically justified sampling plans and acceptance criteria.
This webinar will discuss methods for setting up sampling plans depending on the risk profile of the final product or production step. It will go into using the sampling plan to set statistically justified acceptance criteria for the validation. Also presented will be setting confidence levels and spreading that confidence level out over multiple runs. Setting statistically justified acceptance criteria for test method validation will also be discussed.
