Statistics in pharmacy - life cycle of validation according to Annex 15

Trai­ner:
Dr. Marek Skow­ro­nek, Stat­Soft Pol­ska

The scope of the trai­ning covers the gui­dance in Annex 15 on the life cycle approach to vali­da­ti­on, with an empha­sis on the use of sta­tis­ti­cal methods for data ana­ly­sis. The cour­se com­bi­nes prac­ti­cal know­ledge on topics spe­ci­fic to the phar­maceu­ti­cal indus­try with know­ledge of data ana­ly­sis methods pre­sen­ted on the basis of data from this indus­try. Indi­vi­du­al sta­tis­ti­cal ques­ti­ons are first dis­cus­sed theo­re­ti­cal­ly and then deve­lo­ped in the form of exer­ci­s­es.

For whom?
For anyo­ne respon­si­ble for pro­cess vali­da­ti­on. We invi­te you if you do not yet know any­thing about data ana­ly­sis and sta­tis­tics for tech­no­lo­gi­cal pro­cess vali­da­ti­on. Like­wi­se, if you would like to refresh and deepen your know­ledge. Even if you alre­a­dy know the sta­tis­tics, but need a tool with which you can car­ry out your ana­ly­ses quick­ly and easi­ly. This trai­ning is the basis on which you can expand your know­ledge and skills in data ana­ly­sis.

Your advan­ta­ges:

    • You will get to know or sys­te­ma­ti­ze the basic con­cepts of sta­tis­ti­cal data ana­ly­sis,
    • You will go through the pha­ses of tech­no­lo­gi­cal pro­cess vali­da­ti­on yours­elf,
    • You will learn about nume­ri­cal and gra­phi­cal methods of data ana­ly­sis and traps that await the pro­cess engi­neer,
    • You will learn about sel­ec­ted topics of pro­cess sta­bi­li­ty and capa­bi­li­ty assess­ment,
    • You will recei­ve prac­ti­cal tips on how to avo­id errors in data ana­ly­sis and inter­pre­ta­ti­on,
    • You will acqui­re the basis for deve­lo­ping ana­ly­ti­cal skills and
    • You will learn how to plan the sta­tis­ti­cal con­trol of the tech­no­lo­gi­cal pro­cess
